Verizon and Cingular are the only two who work in this area of Columbus both outside and inside buildings. I can even use my phone in the basement of my residence. Sprint and Nextel struggle to get 2 bars and hold calls even if I go outside. Beware of them if you live in the OTE area in this bubble area that has 4 Sprint towers within a mile of it!

works everywhere, loved it at THE game only one who had a working phone.

Signal drops from 4 or 5 bars to 0 randomly, leading to most calls getting dropped at some point. Numerous dead spots throughout Columbus. Terrible customer service, with them trying to convince me to get a new phone (this is my fourth phone with them). I will be switching to Verizon when this god-awful contract is up in a few months.

Very good signal and rarely a dropped call

Bad reception and dropped calls from this area

dropped calls abound and can hardly hold a conversation in my home. I switched from Verizon because they constantly billed me correctly but they had a good signal.

In my apartment (the Commons on Kinnear) I have to stand perfectly still by the window to get any signal. The only reason I haven't switched to another carrier is because my parents are paying for my phone and I'm cheap. Reception in most other areas is passable.

verizon is great! switched from cingular, reception is about 3 bars at my house, never had any problems with droped calls or no service

Terrible reception at home. I tried new sims card,new phone, and the service still is bad. I think I might try Verizon

Cingular sucks on the Ohio State Campus and in Columbus. Their call quality is TERRIBLE! They don't get reception in several buildings on campus, which wasn't a problem in the past because they would roam on T-Mobile. That ended around March, 2006. So now, they leave you with little or no service. Do yourself a favor and do not use this awful carrier.
