Switched to Cingular from Verizon due to rollover and family plan features. Had AT&T back in 2000 and sales rep assured me that coverage had been upgraded to "equivalent to Verizon". Trust me, Cingular service if definitely inferior. I can't tell you how many dropped calls all across the city. Besides obvious places, (elevators etc) this happened to me so rarely with Verizon. Now it happens daily with Cingular. And call clarity is far inferior to Verizon. Also, my apt has unobstructed west view but I can't make calls from my apt now due to spotty reception and numerous dropped calls. Never a problem with Verizon. Phone says 5 bars but then drops call, goes to 1 bar, then 10 secs later says 5 bars again.. all while standing in 1 spot! Another annoying fact is the annoying touch tone delay. When dialing in voicemail passwds, when you punch in #'s, there is a latency in the phone registering the touch tones (5-10 secs?). Never had that issue with Verizon which recognizes instantaneously like a land line. Only good thing is rollover and family plan. Coverage is so bad though that I rely on my work issued Verizon phone to make important calls so that I can hear call and not get dropped.

Great reception outdoors, no problems or dropouts at all. Indoor reception is almost non existent. If I stay in my room that has 2 windows facing the back and open area the reception is fine. As soon as I walk toward my living room and away from windows, the conversation starts to drop out and eventually cuts out.

I usually have poor voice quality with lots of dropouts, and the occasional lost call. This is fairly consistent for Verizon throughout NYC, with some midtown and Upper East Side locations having no service available at rush hour. They have told me it's the phone, but then replaced it, with identical results. Poor.

I have come to termes with the fact that cell phones are not land lines, but I do love that T mobile is working on there sevice. I know this because I have been a customer for 5 years now and I have seen and heard the differences. I know that with the addition of javascript on their sidekicks now it will be hard to compete with t mobile!

Nearly every call is lost within seconds. Phone shows maximum bars for signal strength, but there seem to be too few circuits to actually handle a call when it comes in or goes out and then the phone searches for and switches to a tower too far away. Result: the call is dropped. Same thing happens to others in this area. "Can you hear me now?"... (silence)...

Great reception in my pre-war building. Maybe in part because I'm on the top floor. Or perhaps I'm getting irradiated from a nearby tower. It's good to be the king!

I have terrible reception in my apartment and consistently have 2-3 dropped calls during a single conversation. Elsewhere in the city, reception is spotty. I started with AT&T and was switched to Cingular. Things haven't improved under the new carrier.
