The reception in this area is average. I get 3 to 2 bars and a few dropped calls from time to time. I use Blackberry server email and it works good in this area. When traveling to the major areas of the county ex: Newburgh,Middletown and Woodbury. The cell service is good. In the other areas of the county, the service can be spotty. I had cellular one and it worked great but limited service when I traveled. So I went to Tmobile. I then thought of switching back to Cellularone but AT&T bought them out. Now the rates are higher and in my opinion AT&T customer service is the worst. I guess I'll stay with T-Mobile until something better comes along.

The service in Country Club Heights is fairly good. I get 4 to 2 signal bars. North on Route 208 towards I-84 (Montgomery), the signal gets stronger. The T-Mobile tower is located near I-84. South on Route 208 towards center of Maybrook village the signal weakens a bit. Driving to Middletown or Newburgh the signal is strong. I had Verizon and switched to T-Mobile because I hated their customer service. In addition I get more minutes for the same amount of money. If I have one signal bar on Tmobile; it's still better than having 2 signal bars on verizon. In my opinion GSM service which Tmobile,Cingular,Cellularone use is better than CDMA service that verizon, Sprint utilizes.

I use Boost mobile which is powered by Nextel, and I think on some days it depends on which way the wind is blowing as to how good my reception is while here at home. Some days I go back and forth from practically no bars, to full bars. Most days I'm happy with the service however...
