NO RECEPTION?! WHAT?! I CANT BELIEVE IM PAYING THIS MUCH FOR NO RECEPTION!

I have to say that I never was a fan of t mobile beacuse of the past 10 plus years ago but I have to give thenm credit, they have good srevice in this area, a lot of my coworkers have t mobile and they are all happy with it so I gave it a shot and I am verry pleased,

I just bought an iPhone 4s and switched to Sprint instead of AT&T. I get one bar or two maximum in my apartment. AT&T was just as bad.

Virgin mobile which uses Sprint service works the best out of all other carriers,,,

we have Verizon as well the worst ever for service and you cannot make or receive a call the worst for service I do not no which carrier to get anymore they all lie to you telling you yes we get the best or give you the best service yeah right I was told by Verizon them selfs yesterday that for 10312 zip code we have trouble giving service by there tech guy on the phone this has been a nightmare ever since we have Verizon they suck they are again the worst I need to know which is best so far for 10312 zip code all I know is I need to get out of this Verizon contract..

They talk about 4g I barely get 3g in my home here on SI, spend alot of time in edison nj, same service its ehh, and never in the buildings, barely get calls in the buildings. In manhattan great tbh but so is every thing else almost switch to Sprint same thing hopefulyl AT&T can do a better job or ill get verizon

I get extremely frustrated because I cannot receive or make calls half the time. Also, majority of the days, my reception varies from no bars to actually "SOS" in the top corner. People will call me and my phone will not ring and go to voicemail. This is ridiculous that I cannot use my own cell phone to make calls in my own house.

I have no idea why there is no reception in this area. The Verizon fios guys came to install service, but they cannot active the service by their equipment due to no service for his cell phone and laptop. Super Sucks

area has no reception for vzw. called to complain and was told it was a "marginal service area". heard that the NIMBY's shot down a new cell tower so now we all suffer.. same people who stuff their face with mcdonalds act like they give a chit.

for what I pay for, Verizon better get a perfect rating! :) have lived on si for a month now and haven't had a problem with my reception at all here. loose service on the ferry at one spot but thats all.

I had decent reception (3 / 4 bars) since Jan 2010. Suddenly, I have 0-1 bars. All calls goes to voicemail. Occasionally I will receive a text. Call Tmobile, they said they're not sure what I am talking about and will send an engineer. I am sure that is BS. They told me to call from a landline. TOO BAD I DO NOT HAVE ONE.

Occasionally a left message will come through but can't be accessed anyhow because dialing inevitably leads to a dropped call.

Its average only because of my Wifi.. without that I get poor reception in the house.

the phone bounces between 0-1 bars... Phone calls are almost impossible to make, on the odd occasion they work the other person can't hear you and you can't hear them. Its shown as "Best" on Sprint's coverage map... Yeah right. Even freakin MetroPCS has full bars here.

I have Verizon Wireless as my only phone... I am constantly dropping calls and suffer with spotty service in my house. I have called Verizon to complain and the last time I called, the rep was a little upset with me because I didn't have an alternate phone that I could call him on so that I could hear him! Verizon says they can't guarantee service in the home! But I can purchase a signal booster for $99 / ea phone (my kids each have their own) when I argued that I already pay nearly $200 a month - there was no consolation - I can't wait for my contract to be over!

Barely acceptable coverage outside, so many drops inside its not even funny... yet the recently updated coverage map from Sprint shows this is a "Best" coverage area (upgraded one level from "Good", the previous rank)

Outside the house service is only passable. Inside the house service is static and drops out frequently. Unusable as a landline replacement.

i live in a community in Robin Ct, I get hadly any service..my g / f who has Verizon aslo hardly get any service. if I had better service I woundn't need a house phone.

I'm.thinking of buying an iPhone 3G S and was wondering how the reception would be in my area

Reception is good and I very rarely have problems finding service or with dropped calls. The only place I routinely experience dropped calls is in the middle of the Hudson River while on the Staten Island ferry, but I imagine that's probably how it is with all of the other cell phone carriers as well.
