Always have great signal. The occassional dropped call, but it usually coincides with someone in the middle of nowhere. Wish I had the 4G LTE I did back home, but the 4G quality is nothing to turn your nose up at.

Very poor service starting a few months ago... They told me the decomissioned some of their old Alltel towers which dropped the service level even further. They told me that they were installing new towers that would be up and running that friday... Its been a month and Id be lucky if I ever saw 2 bars, and forget about 3G. I both live and work in springfield, making Verizon a poor choice for the area. Every time I complain they assure me it will be fixed in a month, next week, 2 weeks, etc etc. Very shady. Instead of admitting the problem and fixing they are making excuses. I switched to AT&T and I have great service now. Beware!

I used to have average reception in my home, but now it is horrible for the last 4 months or so. I don't have a landline, and I use my phone for work, as well as personal use. My calls get dropped, people say they can't hear me, and to take them off speaker, and I'm not on speaker. I can't even order a pizza anymore, and going outside does not help. 3g goes to 1x to nothing, like the wind blows, making it irritating to try to use any apps on the phone at home, they'll start to work then stop, then start up again 15 min. later. I've went to Verizon several times, and they have done things to help, but nothing has worked. I have been with Verizon for 14 years, but this is getting ridiculous. If you live in this area I would not reccomend Verizon.

I always have a signal... 3G at that. I have friends with the new Motorola Droid and the iPhone and they always complain about not having a good 3G connection if ne connection at all. Plus its cheap for unlimited everything.

I get no reception at home at all, in the Valley by the Towpath. It's so frustrating. Verizon said that after completing the Alltel absorption, the signal would be better. It hasn't been. Help!

Verizon used to be a good carrier, now since the AllTel merger and rollout my signal is in and out all of the time. This makes the phones useless with dropped calls and no solid EVDO signal. Verizon used to be good here. The techs keep closing my calls saying we have good coverage, I have tested and at best get a -120DB signal which is still very noisy and poor. I wish they would admit the problem and fix the bad or misaimed panel. I am supposed to have 3 towers close by and should be getting a strong signal. Only one tower is close enough to cause the umbrella effect. The other two should be hitting us directly (from level 4) Everytime I see the commercials that show the competitions Blackberry in paperweight mode, I can't help but think they have the commercial backwards they meant to say the Verizon phone is in paperweight mode. I did receive a call from Gregory Biel or Deil in the presidents office of verison but after 10 attempts to return his call, he is yet to respond.

Inside the house, there's almost no reception unless the phone is set on Roaming. Outside the house, 2.

Verizon took over Alltel here and now get no reception with the versa.

I live outside Akron and get bad reception and dropped calls all over and no reception at house at all. They took over Alltel here and it sucks.

T-Mobile seems to have just about perfect reception evrywhere in town except near Akron Muni Airport

I have T-Mobile and get a great signal. I'm looking at those with T-Mobile complaining of poor reception: you guys should upgrade your phones. The t610 is a good phone, but was released 5 years ago. Same with the V300. Signal is a little rough in older buildings, but overall I'm very happy with my reception. We get alot of minutes for the price, so I'm pretty satisfied.

I get lousy to no coverage at home.

There is a dead zone centered around Canton Rd.from Ellet south through Springfield Township. In this 3-4 mile long zone, the coverage varies between zero and 2 bars. My house (near Canton / Killian) is usually 1; Springfield High School is usually 2; Giant Eagle supermarket is a dead flat zero inside, and maybe a 1 outside. I had the same problem with an older LG 4500 phone; upgrading did not help the reception. Hopefully the Alltel merger will improve the Springfield Dead Zone. Having said this, I am *very happy with the coverage everywhere else I go, from Wisconsin to Ohio to Delaware.

I live in Akron and ever since AT&T bought Cingular, I've had nothing but problems with reception! Darrow Rd / Rt 91 is TERRIBLE! So is where I work at the corner of 91 and Highland. I get dropped calls or no reception EVERY SINGLE DAY! I can't talk on my breaks cause it gets too frustrating to have 3 dropped calls in 15 min or less! Same happens to and from work. Especially in front of the fireworks factory on Darrow. There's about a mile or 2 that I can't get signals or get dropped calls, but it's like that all up and down Darrow road MANY MANY MANY places! Also at home, Goodyear Heights area, dropped calls ALL the time, just sitting on my couch. Bars on my phone, no matter where I am or traveling, always constantly change from Zero to 5. NEVER has been consistently any one bar and I can just be in one place not moving at all. Is it the phone or the service, that is my question at this point. I've read so many good and bad about EVERY single company including Verizon! Just as many good reviews as bad about them and ALOT of billing issues. SO, my contract with AT&T is almost up and I was going to switch, but it doesn't seem like I'd get any better reception necessarily and I certainly don't want billing errors! So, I'll probably stay and hope it gets better. No guarantees with any cell company. Still wonder if what phones we use make a difference. Maybe there's just a few phones out there that are really worth anything.

I get good coverage most everywhere whether indoors or outdoors. I work in Independence off Pleasant Valley Rd.and compared to my old provider (Sprint) I get much, much better coverage. I know of 3 dead spots on Pleasant Valley for Sprint but thankfully have not found any yet for Verizon. The only reason I did not give them a 5 is that every once in a while I will call someone and I get a real distorted sound that is almost impossible to describe. When this happens I just hang up and redial and then everything is just fine.

Its an industrial area with allot of interference coming from machinery of various companies in the area. Walking in between the companies increases the signal to full strenght but indoors it's either one bar or none. Although the Q struggles to connect a phone call it will, but it will cause a major drain on your battery.

Get many dropped calls in and around my home - even when I step outside of the home it's terrible. Called Verizon a year or so ago and they told me they were updating a tower in Copley. However, I have noticed no difference. Sometimes my phone doesn't even ring, but I get a notification that I've either missed a call or that I've got a v-mail. My husband has Cingular and I have to say that his is worse.

Constanly dropping calls... . In my residence, I have several dead spots where I drop calls constantly. Conveniently in my living room and kitchen. Alltel has told me to update my cell tower programming by dialing their update service (*) number. It has not helped. Verizon is the only carrier that I have found to be reliable in my residence.

This tower is on top of "The Hill" in montrose and I think I can see it from Medina, The service holds all the way down to miller road, thats where it is weakest, about 1-2 bars, but then the next tower picks and you go up to four(The max on this phone) very quickly. The problem is that my house sits RIGHT on the coverage boundy of this tower and the I-71 and Rt. 18 tower, so my service is usually only about 1 bar in my house. There are abot 3 cell towers within 1000 feet of my house, so verizon, put a tower in the middle of your "Coverage Square" that has little or no service in the middle!

Usually poor reception especially in the house which is at the top of a hill?
