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.

verizon put in a new cell tower at the mountain golf course during the summer of 2008. excellent reception all around incline village!

Pretty good reception with Sanyo. reception drops dramatically going further up the hill, with no reception on Nadine Court

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.

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

I can usually make calls from the area around Raleys, but its still a bit inconsistant

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.

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.

T-Mobile has little to no reception in this area.
