Like others in Jackson if I stand at the right location toward the front of my house or stand outside, tilt my head in the right direction, and think positive I may get a signal for a short while. I generally hate mobile phones because my experience is nothing like the image Verizon likes portray. People always say they can't hear me or I can't hear them, the sound quality is poor, and it always seems there is a high probability the call will be dropped.
i have have Verizon for 20 years and was always hoping they would improve the towers in this area but. I see this will never happen. and have desided to change to another carrier the next time my contract runs out. unless it improves by then.
If you have Verizon wireless and come into my neighbor don't expect to get a call or a text. Brookwood 3 in Jackson, NJ get no service at all. I have to walk around my house to get a signal.
Inside my house, you're guaranteed no coverage.. no matter what the model, carrier, or religion that you pray to for signal. Additional towers are needed, or that $250.00 internet repeater Verizon now sells
Aboslutely terrible service in the whole house... dropped calls and missed calls frequent. If it werent for text messaging I dont know how I would talk to anyone. AT&T best in jackson.. at least on my side of town.
Calling Verizon doesn't help much, because they just tell you it's a poor reception area. I'd say in a 3 / 4 mile radius from Stop n Shop, I get no bars or no service. But the second I cross into Lakewood off county line rd... all my bars are there. I get nothing in my house, and most of the outside area.
Works OK most of the time (4 bars) but come 5-7 pm every day the bars go from 0-1 with frequent dropped calls. During those times I am afraid to make any important calls, or make calls I know will be lengthy. If I stand near the first-floor kitchen window and thus facing north, reception picks up 1-2 bars, but it is still unpredictable. It must be the tower that's located on Interstate I-195, about 3 miles away. Ferequently the bars will go from 0-5 for no obvious reason. For example, when the phone is still bars will still go from 0 to 5 and back to 0 and back to 5, etc., even if I amo not moving the phone. Going to the second floor of this 2-story townhouse makes no difference in bars. This whole area is sunk in a geographical hole / depression of sorts, so I wonder if that has something to do with it.
This whole area reception comes and goes. Lots of static and interference. May have something to do with the phone model, all 3 of us had it replaced multiple times for numerous malfunctions, unfortunately AT&T will not give us another model. After 1 year, the phones are literally falling apart. Due to the poor customer service, will be looking for another carrier shortly.
