The Verizon iPhone 4 has the best call quality and reception in Mill Creek area compared to my previous 4 Verizon phones. The Verizon Map shows no 3G coverage here but we have always had 3G since I have used LG enV2 and LG enV3 (still in service on different account). I have never dropped a call in the house with Verizon, unlike owners of AT&T iPhones who have tried to use their phones here. I use Verizon as my long distance line (second line in the house), via Bluetooth Dock. Some of my weekend conversations last over two hours of clear reception. Best phone I have ever owned. Kudos to Apple!

Sporatic coverage - not reliable. Standing right on the beach of Lake Tahoe, you would think at least one tower would be in range. NOT!

I have little to no reception in my house with T-Mobile and had the same issue when I lived in Tahoma. Dropped calls and missed calls that just pop up as voicemails all the time.

Switched to LG enV2 from LG VX5300 (with had an external antenna). I get 4 out of 4 bars at the corner of Mill Creek and Country Club, but in my driveway (1 / 2 mile away) I get 1 bar or "NO Service". My VX5300 had two bars under the same circumstance. I'm about ready to switch back to my VX5300, just for the reliability. In my office (I have the phone on a desktop docking station) I see signal strength deviate from 3 Bars to "No Service" and I cannot move throughout the house with the phone like I could with LG VX5300 (external antenna makes a huge difference). I switched my wife back from enV2 to her Samsung SCH-a870, because of poor reception. We need a tower near Diamond Peak because I drop calls on SKI WAY heading down from the parking lot, this would help us as well. We always have plenty of EVDO signal, so go figure. Most of Incline has good coverage but we must have something interfering with the line of site to our tower (wherever it is). We can't hit the new tower on Golpher's Pass from here, so I'm having a hard time convincing neighbors of the benefits of Verizon over AT&T and Sprint (AT&T seems to be used by majority residents... .I think its due to better service in early 2000 before Cingular bought out AT&T). I like the enV2, but getting a call through is my first and foremost mission. In this day and age, we should have better coverage since majority of phones have put the antenna inside.

I have an old NOKIA 6160m PCS with an awesome plan and great coverage from inside my house. My wife has the Nokia 3395 from Cingular, with "No Service" displayed on the screen. Cingular (AT&T) is shutting off my PCS band and has offered me no plans that even come close to my current PCS plan, and wants me to downgrade to GSM. I have emailed AT&T and called 611 to complain. The answer I got was, "Go Outside". That's fine until the temperatures are in the 20 degree range, then your lips don't work too well. After months of frustration (I have been a PCS customer with AT&T for 10 years) and being ignored and forced to switch, I cut AT&T. I switched to Verizon (even got a phone with Analog AMPS for my travels on 395 or I-5). Both phones work inside the house, although my signal strength is not as good as PCS phone, we don't drop calls. Traveling to Lake Tahoe? Leave the GSM phone at home! Verizon also works on I-80 between Truckee and Nevada State Border (dead zone right near the border). Cingular GSM and PCS would not work on this side of Truckee!

Cingular OK at my house. Usually have 3 bars. Wife's and daughter's phone with TMobile was a joke. Horrible service throughout the Incline area. Both have switched to Cingular with good results.

According to Cingular Coverage Map, Coverage is rated "BEST", but GSM calls are dropped continuously. I have the old AT&T TDMA which works perfect, and my wife has the Cingular GSM which we cannot use reliably. Cingular wants me to downgrade calling plan and switch from TDMA to GSM. I am thinking of dropping Cingular all together due to poor service and plan offerings.

I don't know what those poor Verizion receptions are in here. We've been using for 3 years and have excellent reception in most places. From Tahoe City to Incline. There are only a few dead spots where trillion ton mountains block the signal. We can even get reception on the magnum 6 pack lift at Mt. Rose! Get it from the top of Squaw Valley and other places you wouldn't expect. Lose it on Crystal Bay Hill where the mountain shadows the reception. But we get it where people on other systems fail.

No reception with MDA. Better reception with free Nokia phone. TMobile has lousy coverage in Incline Village. Salesmen lie to your face and hope you cannot return phone within 14 days

The only 5 here is the 5% of the time that I actually can use Cingular in Incline Village! It always shows a few bars of reception, but as soon as you try to make a call, they all dissapear! The only way you ever know if someone has tried calling you is when a few hours later, the message icon shows up. Booooo Cingular.

I didn't have any service really. Droped calls or no signal at all. Only time, I was able to pick up some service was at Raleys. Other than that, nada.

occaisionally I can get a signal for a brief moment at home, but mostly no service at all. AT&T is pretty awful service wise as well. I've had too many problems with them to count. I'm switching my number even if I have to pay the termination fee.

My reliable old Nokia 3360 has analog capability, so maybe that explains the decent coverage.
