I get prety good service everywhere, and in stores. Inside my house, on the street floor, I usually have one bar, upstairs, all bars. But the phone never cuts out. Outside, we have lots of trees, and I get all bars. You guys who have LG phones... I know so many people who had them and they got horrible reception. It sometimes is the phone. Some wireless services just have better service with certain phones. I've owned Nokia phones with Cingular, and the reception was great, everywhere except in the Rome Walmart. With Verizon I get service wherever I go.

T-Mobile's coverage is hit-or-miss in Rome. There must be an antenna near the Chestnut / Black River Blvd. intersection, and another one near the James / Erie Blvd. intersection. In those two places you can get full coverage. But travel a 1 / 4 mile down the road, and that full coverage quickly goes to about 20%. T-Mobile needs to expand their service in Rome... for now, you are probably better off going with Cingular or Verizon.

Spotty reception, anywhere past "Stewarts" North on Rt 26 is a loss of reception, and don't expect to get it back until you reach Boonville. Verizon for North Rome is the provider that should be chosen especially with the new tower on Marsh Road.

decent reception

Forget about your cell phone service from Cingular working in your home or any building. Terrible.
