Unable to complete a phone conversation without being disconnected... .This never used to happen and don't understand why in this past year, dropping of a signal is a real problem. They sure charge enough and should be responsible for their service.

Outdoor is OK; indoors, even near windows are below avg. So much for dropping my landline.

There are rare times when we can make calls, but the signal never lasts for more than 30 seconds or so. Very frustrating.

This area of Hillsborough does have a weaker signal because there are NO nearby cell towers for any carrier. Dropped calls and weak signal occur on South Woods Road, Camden Rd.and Beverly Dr.for all cell phone users no matter who the carrier is. The read of Hillsborough is fine to great for Verizon.

Reception in this area of Hillsborough is poor. Many dropped calls. Reception inside a home is very poor to no reception.

Worst mistake I've made yet with picking a cell phone service. T Mobile is the absolute pits. Constantly battling to try to get reception in Hillsborough and surrounding area. Calls get dropped all the time if I manage to be able to get one through.

Can't get reception in lots of places in town. Poor reception in buildings in town.

After a couple of years with T-Mobile, I am ready to call it quits. The reception is just terrible everywhere I go in Hillsborough anc Central NJ in general. There is about 1 square foot in my house where the service is tolerable. Occasionally, I have been unable to access my voicemail from my Sidekick. As for T-Mobile service, I found that also to be lacking. I had a representative quote me 20 cents a mb for International downloads only to find the actual cost was $20.00 per MB. I got no satisfaction from customer support who automatically docked my account for hundreds of dollars. Considering that I never come close to using my minutes due to poor reception, it was just the last straw. Glad to find this site.

Verizon is the only cell phone service that works INSIDE buidlings in Hillsborough, including schools, in all locations.

many drops all the time and 30% of time no reception

very bad service w t-mboile in hillsborough. I have sdekcik 2 and reseption sucks

In the last year Sprint is freaking awesome. Always a strong signal and all the way to Newark and back. They have kicked it up a notch or two. Love it!

None to poor. have to walk around the house or yard to get signal. Calls cut out, phone never rings, then poof, 2 messages, indication of missed calls... be nice if it rang first.

I've had ATT / Cingular for several years. Since getting the V180, my cell phone reception has gotten worse. I had an Ericsson which worked everywhere even in my home.

Sprint was better! Almost no service at my house despite promises made by sales rep.

I've been using Verizon for years, from the legacy BAM and it's been getting worse not better over the past two years. I've used several phones and they all drop calls frequently. There's also an echo on many calls where I can hear my own voice. I don't have much choice in carriers here because the others are worse. Outside of Hillsborough, going toward Somerville and east toward Newark, reception is much better. Reception in Manhattan, where I work, is very good. I frequently travel outside of NJ to major metro areas and all have good reception. I don't understand why Verizon doesn't improve their coverage in an area that is close to their HQ. When my contract expires in December, I am going to try another carrier, perhaps Cingular, although I have low expectations. BTW, I do not recommend LG phones. I've had several replacements for the LG VX4600 and they all drop calls. Prior to the XV4600, I had a VX4400 which was better. Before that I had Motorola and Qualcom phones that were excellent.

Please note: The max is 4 bars on this older phone. :-) It's held up pretty well. I've thought about getting a new one, but not sure it would be a good move based on friends experiences with newer phones not holding up very well. Very pleased with Verizon service overall, with Americas Choice Family Share plan. No surprises, no roaming, no long distance etc. I might spend less elsewhere, but I like knowing that it'll be the same price every month. It's a welcome change from charges for roaming, extra minutes, etc that I used to have with VZ (several years ago). Generally good coverage wherever we've travelled, unless we're really in the 'boonies'. I never imagined I'd use my cellphone as much as I do.

Useless. Had to cancel. Poor customer service to boot. On top of it, I was overcharged for the plan I signed up for.

Best reception I've gotten with ANY wireless company... and I've tried just about all of them.

If there's any cell service that can be almost perfect with signal strength, then I've found it with Verizon. I've tried other wireless companies and Hillsborough just doesn't get good reception. You can imagine my surprise when I starting getting full signal inside buildings and while outside once I switched to Verizon. Only words of advice are, stay away from the Verizon store up near K Mart if you want a fully stocked store and knowledgeable staff. I was in there several times and they had very few models of cell phones on display. And when I chose one they were always out of stock. I did better going on line. Had my phone in a day.
