Rarely have one bar... . even outside, rarely able to comple call without being dropped, usuallly can't link to call out-- Verizon's known about this for years, not fixed... avoid Verizon if you need service in this area!

I've just received my new phone and the reception is generally between 3 to 5 bars. Seldom drop below 3 bars.

Poor reception in the Gahanna / New Albany area. I've had no signal, and dropped calls. In my house I'm lucky to get 2 to 3 bars. The Easton store is terrible with customer service. They plod you in and out like cattle, and when you need more information they do not know. I went in for a new phone, and was upset at the lack of help. They have few phones on display, so you don't even know what you are buying. When I brought up prices and how it was cheaper over the internet the rep. just stood there and looked at me. Their plan prices are good along with internet access making it a deal, but poor reception and bad help may have turned me off to keeping their service.

Reception has been poor for years. Most calls lost in house.

Phone only goes to 4 bars, but it's pretty much flawless except for a minor dip around 2500 W. Broad St., and a black hole on Wiltshire Rd. between Whitehead and Mound.

I tried AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon. I have stuck with Verizon because it was the only of the four with which I could make a call from home, school, and anywhere but Sandy, Utah, and the Kroger on High and N. Broadway. Might give Cingular a shot since I want a free new phone.

No reception within the basement and the first floor of house. About 1 bar outside, and 5 bars about 300 yards down the road. Cingular would not upgrade phone, which I now suspect even more of being the problem after reading others' statements. Cell phone not much use as is today.

Had Cingular for years, never a problem. Get Sprint and can barely talk to anyone while I'm in my own home. Sprint needs to step it up. Dropped calls, bad reception, no bars where you'd expect full bars. In such a major city and the suburbs you'd expect more from such a company. If it worked every where like my Cingular did I'd love Sprint. Right now I only hope I can get all the calls and have reception and not lose my call.

Terrible reception in my house... Verizon and T-Mobile. We're in a black hole.

I've had Motorola, Nokia, and Audiovox phones; they've been essentially unusable at and around home; I've discussed the poor service problem with Cingular, and one time they offered to send new phones (different model). That switch made no difference at all. My experience with Cingular in Worthington, esp. east of High st., has been very dissatisfying, with coverage varying from poor to none. I guess Cingular must feel really secure behind their 2-year contracts and early termination penalties. (Shame on them!) It really irks me when they run ther adverts. re: "Raising the bar... "
