so far never had a droped call, receotion has been great, even works in most 6 train stations.

Was a Verizon user for over 10 years..had a problem with a phone as soon as I upgraded and Verizon replaced it with a refurbished phone which was worse than my original... long story short Verizon says they are not responsible they do not manuacture the phones CLEARLY their clueless and yes agree with many Penn Station service SUCKS can't get a singal while foreigners are using cell phones from other countries. Switched to Cingular and for past has been AMAZING signals everywhere including Penn Station great officer prices, more important rollover minutes Verizon could care less about it's customers... p.s. customer service and technicians beyond rude and obnoxious all they know is "can you hear me now" dah not for long many friends of mine are having similar issues and are switching to other carriers once their contract expires.

several bars usually, but much breaking up

Constant breaking up of signal. TMobile far better.

I work in a building in Manhatten next to the Loews theatre on 19th st. I sometimes, MAYBE get 1 bar, so my phone can ring, but if I try to pick it up I get nothing, but it still wastes my minutes.

Only on very high floors are signals hard to keep, but they can be attained.

All around very pleased with the service. It has improved greatly over the years. I rarely get a dropped call and generally have very clear reception. Even works on Shelter Island! This phone has no bells or whistles. The graphics are terrible, no carmera, it is just a phone and it does the job.

Verizon is excellent all throughout parts of the city I travel. I have never had a problem with their service. Bar none the best quality in the city. Indoors, outdoors, on some subway platforms, epic coverage.

Everything I've read about T-Mobile on this site is absolutely correct. I experience all the same issues. I thought it may be just my phone or just me. I get full reception, standing in the same spot, that drops to zero and then drops the call. Does T Mobile have weaker signal strength? I left Verizon for this crap, probably heading back to Verizon. Cool phones are a plus... but only if they work! Verizon needs better phones and T-Mobile needs better service, at least in the US. I got better reception in the niddle of an African safari, no kidding!

Inside Baruch Campus, T-Mobile and Cingular seem to have the worst service. Nextel and Verizon has the best service so far. Out side the area around 24th st and lexington area, there are many dead zones and that just makes T-Mobile worst. I just use my phone to show off now days around campus because I can't use it to call or receive people.
