I have had T-Mobile for 3 years and had 4 different phones and have never had a single problem with reception or texting and I have 3 lines of service with execellent customer service and free upgrades every year my bill is never over 100.00 dollars

Switched from Sprint and AT&T. Verizon has a great network here. I would always get drop calls with Sprint and AT&T. The 3G service is very fast too.

Great service no problem in city area but ifie when travling !

AT&T is the only carrier I get solid reception with in this area of Columbus. I actually have yet to see my Iphone go below five bars or lose the 3g signal that many others have complained about. If you live in the OTE area of Columbus, AT&T is the most reliable service you can have there!

AT&T is the only network that holds a strong signal in my residence. I struggled with Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile, even when making calls outside. I can walk through my entire residence including the basement without any fading of my signal. When I used Sprint, I had to stand by a window and not move the phone to keep 2 bars. Verizon would not drop as often, but calls would fade in and out. T-Mobile would only work on my 3rd floor. I'm not sure why this is such a dead zone area, since there are towers everywhere within a mile radius of my residence. I was told the trees block the signals, but AT&T seems to penetrate them.

I get very good reception all throughout central ohio. I almost never get a dropped call and calls are very clear. Verizon is definitely king in Columbus.

Couldn't ask for a better phone or service. I tried AT&T, T-Mobile; they absolutely stink in this area! No signal at all in my house. My phone is extremely clear with no background noise at all... Most impressive!

Great reception everywhere I've been with Cingular all the way to Hilton Head, and west and east coast of Fl with small exception in mountains where I don't expect coverage. HOWEVER, I have HATED having Cingular for billing issues, fees, taxes, etc. They bill one month in advance on everything, and my razr phone died about six weeks after one yr warranty and have had no reasonably priced way to replace it All they ask is if I bought the insurance. (Which I didn't---think they're just trying to increase sales for insurance) And, I'm a nice, calm grandma who has never, in any way, abused the phone. Can't wait for two year contract to end in December so I can switch carriers. Loved T-Mobile I had previously, but did have more dropped calls. Would love to have the same good coverage, phone works everywhere, inside and out, everywhere, except the mountains, but with T-Mobile. Is that possible?

I am only one of 6 in my family who has Cingular - all others are Verizon. I am the only one who can use my cell phone in the house in Cols - all others go outside in backyard to talk. I also use my phone easily in DC, Phila, Balt, Chicago, Phx, Dallas, MIA, ATL, and SF- Verizon was better in NYC - Manhattan

I've had Verizon Wireless for over a year now and I haven't seen it go below 4 bars anywhere in Columbus. The only dropped calls I've experienced so far were phone related. Definitely amazing service that can't be beat.

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!

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.

I have never had any problems with my reception, ever. Even when driving across the nation for TEN days! I love Verizon!

Excellent reception all over campus, partly because Verizon has some panels on top of Apollo's Greek Kitchen on 13th and High that cover all of south / central campus. Five bars almost everywhere... haven't seen no service yet!

I have had good reception since switching from SprintPCS to Cingular out near my house.

Don't see too many comments on Verizon but I've used them for over a year with excellent results here in central Ohio and when I travel to Arizona and Florida. I haven't had any problems at all.

Always great reception, little to worry about in regard to dropped calls. I drive all over town, Whitehall, Bexley, Lincoln Village, Galloway, Downtown Columbus, and rarely experience any issues. As others have said, even in buildings including malls and basements, no problems getting calls in or out. Thank God for GSM!

I have had T-Mobile for 24 months now and have never had a dropped call in the Columbus Area. Unlike Sprint or Verizon. I can even walk thru unground garages. I wish the GSM world would have more rural coverage like the two mention above.

Good reception throughout the Villages, Victorian, Harrison West, Short North, and Italian.

Good reception all around campus.
