Wow. I was disappointed because since I moved here a little over a month ago, I'd had like 2-3 dropped calls total. I make a LOT of calls, by the way. I was getting on this website to see what the best carrier in the area was. So far, after reading a few pages of reviews, there's NO WAY I'm switching from Alltel. I've been with them for years. I traveled the nation with a security company. I'd never had any dropped calls anywhere with Alltel until I moved out here. I've only had a couple and they were all in places that, I suppose, it should be expected. If you're having trouble with your cell, give Alltel a try. I was kinda hoping that ATT was good in Vegas because I want an iPhone. I guess I'll just have to settle for a blackberry.

Christmas Day, the most important day, Verizon desides to give me a "all circuits are busy" signal and the text messages / voice mails I tried to send out x-mas morning don't get received by friends until the next day. Not only that, I only have 1x of service at the house. Not only this, but carrying insurance got me a refurbished phone where I have to press the up button really hard to go up on my contacts list. Luckly, no longer on a contract and from this site, looks like Cingular has the most towers in the area. Although I had Cingular before, Cingular never gave me as many negatives (over positives) as Verizon has.

Reception bars are a complete lie.. AT&T has major problem with GSM network. Most locations in valley have the problem that signal strength is 5 bars with intermittent (about every 1-2 minutes) the strength goes to 0. Drops call when this happens. It is ironic that they have the nerve to advertise the fewest dropped calls.. Ran into the same experience in 84032 zip (Northern Utah). However, Manhatten coverage seems to be good. For Vegas, do yourself a favor and go with T-Mobile or Verizon

We have tried Sprint, Verizon, Nextel, and now Cingular here at the base of Frenchman Mountain... they all suck. My theory is that the mountain disrupts the signals, since there are at least 5 line of sight towers in the area. Cingular / AT&T seems to be the least of the 4 evils... they are just better at keeping a death grip on the call, so you end up with lots of dead air for periods, instead of outright hangups. If you look at your reception, it will bounce from 5 bars to 1 to 2 back to 5 back to 2 all day long... I'm not sure if a repeater would even help.

Can not make or recieve 95% of calls either indoors or out. Signal will not hold. Goes from 4 to 0 bars in seconds. Changing the phone to roam (which roams to Verizon) is no better. Sprint engineer verifed that the area does not have a dominate tower signal and problem will only be solved by a new tower closer in the area. Sprint executive support and engineer say nothing is planned to address this problem any time soon. AT&T / Cingular is the only carrier in the area to have a tower per engineer.

When I initially got Sprint (3 years ago) it had great service that I ended up renewing my contract. Since last year the service has sucked SO bad! My phone shows full bars almost all the time, however once I make / receive a call it gets dropped within a matter of seconds. This is with EVERY call, I have yet to make / receive a call within the past year without having it drop. Sprint has extremely poor service in this area, and for the issues I am having I am most likely going to cancel and just pay the cancellation fee because it definitely isn't worth it.

Been with AT&T for 20 yrs. Moved to Edna and Jones... bars go up and down like a stereo. AT&T service said "get a new phone!". Last 6 months: my original 6680 + (2)Nokia 6682, (1)Pearl and (1)BlackJack. Same thing. Dr.to L.A. get "Emergency Service Only" for about 40% of the trip. I typically use about 1800 mins / mo. nationwide. Outside Las Vegas... not as bad.

I dont even own a home phone

Came from Texas with Sprint. They let me out of my contract (6 months in) because they could not make it work. Switched to Cingular. It worked a little better for about a month then went to hell and is pretty much useless. So far 8 of my friends have gotten AT&T to allow them to cancel without termination fees. Apparently at least Sprint and AT&T know their service in Las Vegas is very spotted. Note: I dealt with both companies tech support and went thru their process to get my area (residence) checkout. Once they confirm it is bad they will drop you termination fee and allow you to switch

I get very poor reception at home, 1 bar if I'm lucky. I called a Verizon tech to see what they could do about it. I was told Verizon knew about the poor reception area around Hollywood and Washington and had no plans to do anything about it. There should be a law stating when a cell phone company shows you a reception / coverage map that is must show known dead zones too.

I can not make or recieve calls in or near my home. As soon as enter my community I lose reception. Verizon has done nothing to help

as a realtor I am often on the phone with clients and my reception would get cut off so frequently that I feel like an idiot. I noticed a few months ago there is a cell tower just east of blue diamond on durango, and I was estactic but my reception has not improved any. does anyone know if and when (unless it is already) it will be activated? any info would be appreciated. for the second best selling master plan in AMERICA, it is quite sad. btw, the zip is actually 89178 but the system does not recognize it for me to post so I had to change it to another one.

The reception goes between 0-3 depending on where I'm at in my house. Once I get near Sunset / Mt. Vista my converage is pretty good.

Just got the new BB Curve and I get between 3 and 4 bars deep in Southern Highlands. I'm the one that wrote the review for Verizon in the same location...

SPrint sucks. no reception. drops every EVERY CALL>

it is horrible out here. my phone is always out of service and Sprint won't let us out of our contract because they say they have a tower out here. well, the tower must be broken because I don't get service at all in my own home. sooooo annoying. we're cancelling and going to verizon. I have better things to do with my time then redial phone numbers and repeat conversations because the other person can't understand me. I HATE SPRINt.

Rarely make it through a call without dropping at least once.

Dropped calls daily. Bars bounce around from 0 to 4 consistently. I can't use the phone for business because there are so many dropped calls. My cell dropped a 911 call I made last year. I can't wait for my contract to expire. Do not buy Sprint!

Can't make or recieve call at or around my house. My wife either. Service has never been good. I just can't wait till 6 / 14 / 07 till my contract is up and I can go to Verizon...
