Have good reception on in my apartment facing wall street and also in the general area around the wall street area.

Just bought a Verizon phone because I bought the hipe. This junk phone is killing my business. I cant hear you now? Use to have T-Mobile they were bad but at least I paid less. Verizon has noooo coverage in grand central. yet these guys have posters saying reliable... . talk about false advertising...

I used to get ok service in my office on Broad St. Now I have 5 bars on the 40th floor of my building. Everyone that has Verizon or T-Mobile are sucking wind while I am getting email and making calls. My boss is convinced to swap everyone over to Cingular. Hated them before love them now.

Only by an occasional miracle can I complete a call from here to midtown. Abysmal service, they keep sending mailers telling me how they're improving service in NYC - wish they'd spend the marketing money on towers. Also - north of Bank St.along the riverwalk service is pathetic to non-existant to the midtown area.

Verizon service and reception never goes above 3 bars... then drops the call without warning. I'm on the 6th floor and calling right next to window.

Never had a problem with Sprint in my apartment or office. Apartment is on 15th floor and Office is on 37th floor. Will lose calls in elevator, but who doesn't.. it's rude to talk on the phone in elevators anyway.

Use to get 3-4 bars inside my apartment. Now I get no service at all on two different phones. Happen a few years ago but Cingular sent out an update to my phone and fixed the connection. This time its a no go. Been over 2 weeks now with no service at home. Will need to find a new carrier as the phone is used for work.

What the Hell are half of you people talking about. I get Coverage Everywhere with Verizon and I mean Everywhere. You people with Cingular are lying. With Cingular I had nothing around here. Verizon ROCKS. And for you that said "Verizon Spokes-Dork: "Can you hear me now?" Verizon Customer: "Huh?" Verizon Spokes-Dork: "Good." YOU SUCK ---------! Everywhere around here it is "Good"

Cingular works very well in the Cincinnati area, it is definatley the best carrier in the area, or any area for that matter. So if you are cell phone shopping around Cincinnati, Cingular is the way to go.

I cant believe Nextel is still in this business... When I get a call, it drops.. I cant recall getting a call that didnt drop.. and push to talk is getting worse and worse, I guess they are overloading circuits because I get busy all the time.. My friend that just got Cingular service is raving about it.. Freaking 2-year contract..

I cant believe Verizon says it has the best network in NYC. I cant get service in my office on the 35th floor while Cingular's service is very good.. I gotta switch to Cingular 'cause they are much better on the upper floors.. they must be doing something to target the higher floors that the other carriers arent.. If you work on a skyscraper, get a Cingular phone, your only chance it will work all the time..

Very poor, and constantly getting worse.I have tried everything, and all I get is promises that they will improve soon as they are "working on the towers".

I should have got a pager. Spotty variable reception. When most calls come in they are lost within ten to twenty seconds. Lousy reception due to overtaxed circuits in this area. The phone will show a good signal (5 bars) until you try to use it. Because the circuits are actually filled to capacity the network then switches you to an antenna further away almost as soon as you are receiving or making call, you get 1 bar or less and the call is lost. *************************************** Verizon Spokes-Dork: "Can you hear me now?" Verizon Customer: "Huh?" Verizon Spokes-Dork: "Good."

I used to be an AT&T Wireless customer for almost 8 years until Cingular took over the company. I have to say that during the blackout of 2003. I had no problems using my AT&T Wireless mobile (GSM tri band), while most other people using other carriers couldn't even use their phones. After I switched over to Cingular, the reception has been good to excellent throughout Manhattan and the rest of the city. I have yet to experience any dead spots

Great reception in apartment and almost everywhere I go.

Just got Cingular and I'm amazed at the how well it serves inside my office building. Had other carriers in the past and I would always drop on the higher floors.

Dont know what Cingular is doing but they have excellent service inside hotels in Midtown. I recently stayed that Marriot Marquis and Hilton on 6th Ave and didn't have a problem. My partner has T-Mobile and he kept dropping calls. Keep it up!

Nextel by far is the best cellular phone service in New York City. I use my phone all over the city. My co-workers who have T-Mobile and Cingular ask to use my phone inside of some location because they dont have a signal.

indoor reception (building constructed 1905) is very poor. Calls will connect but degrade rapidly. Usually call is dropped and must re-dial 3 to 5 times during a conversation.

In general, Verizon works just about everywhere. Only the very rare signal loss. Also excellent service up and down east coast of US.
