Can't even get reception with a repeater

I have Cingular prepaid, so Cingular customers with actual plans might have better service, but in this horrible area of the north shore of long island, it really is all the same. Nobody else but Cingular can actually get more than 1 bar around my neighborhood, and it seems whereever I usually go I get better service with Cingular than my friend who has a RAZR with Verizon. Funny thing is though, that I might be wrong since I can 4 bars but when I make a call it suddenly drops to 1 or 2 bars. My friend can make calls as well, I just think Cingular works just slightly better. I can say for sure that Cingular / Verizon works best in this particular area, DEFINITELY NOT SPRINT / NEXTEL any other carrier as I've tried them or seen friends not being able to make a call until they get to port jeff or the movies in lake grove. Overall good enough for this horrible area(rich dudes fault not wanting towers in the town, its really dumb since I dont go looking for towers in my neighborhood then complain about it like a baby)

Reception is getting better since last year.

Perfect 98% of the time indoors and out. Some days you get a couple lost calls but those occur few and far in between. Very satisfied with the service.

Stony Brook University student who are T-Mobile customers signed petitions for complaint of service... T-mobile sent 6 van of geek to map the area for reception... Now it doesn't matter what location... whether its dorm, lecture hall, elevator, basement or even the radiology room, we can boldly go where no cell phone has gove before
