Ground floor apt. facing rear-no reception. No subway platforms or elevators, either.

Verizon Wireless has foremost the best reception than any wireless carrier. I had T Mobile and Cingular and they really need to upgrade on their network. I never had a problem with thier network wherever I go. Especially out of the tri-state. They do work under some the #6 Train stations, Chambers and Essex St.on the J Train and in Atlantic Ave. and Borough Hall on the #4 train. I was shocked to recieve reception with them waiting on the 1st car of the Manhattan bound F and V train in 34 street / Herald Square ( 1, 2 bars though. )

On 10th floor of a building located at 46th st and Broadway, reception pretty inconsistent and Verizon may be selling too many phones and not upgrading their system, I cant get a connection to talk to my wife in the evening..

Great reception everywhere below 14th St. (even inside the 8th St. and Broadway subway station). Switched from Sprint which had a dead spot on 95th and Second Ave. and kinda crappy reception around the city.

Reception in the area of the Medical Center is generally okay, but very poor inside buildings, even on higher floors. It never cuts off on me when I'm outside, but inside buildings reception may vary from 0 bars to 4 bars in adjacent rooms.

On AT&T as I don't care to switch to Cingular. Coverage is inconsistent - sometimes 5 bars, suddenly dropping to 2, then back to 4, then dropped call, then... .

People dont seem to understand - most of the problems with reception are not due to carrier but the PHONE. Everyone I know who has used Sprint whines about how much their reception sucks but I use the sanyo-stick phones which are unpopular but they get AMAZING reception. I even get service INSIDE penn station!

Reception is spotty on the street and nonexistent in my apartment -- I have to keep the phone near the window to get any signal at all. If I leave it on my desk 15 feet away I'll miss calls.

Horrible reception between 5pm and 8pm. While the calls go through, the quality is extremely distorted and makes having a conversation near impossible.

No reception in basements around this area, Verizon works.
