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.
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.
