I've had Verizon for quite awhile now (3years+) and I have to admit that they seem to have the strongest signal around Columbus... the only place I've seen it drop to almost NOTHING is on 315 N... .North of 270 (~the Home Rd. / Hyatt Rd. area)

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.

Dublin-Granville and Morning Streets, Columbus, OH 43085 Thu Dec 29, 2005

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... "

I've used Cinular service for over 6 years and was very pleased with the service- until I switched to GSM about a year ago. Now I can't get more than 1 bar within a 1.5 mi. radius of my home. It's not that it drops calls- there is not enough signal to even initiate a call. When I signed up with Cingular, my plan was to go wireless and save money, but I can't use my cell phone when I am at home (which is most of the time). The bottom line is, I am paying $39.99 a month for cell service, $45.00 for a land-line, and an additional $25.00 in long distance calls. That means I am paying $109.99 per month for service that should only cost $39.99. I have addressed the weak signal issue with Cingular several times by phone and email. No luck. They want $150.00 to terminate my contract.

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.

The solution is in the phone, not the carrier. After the Motorola V220 and V180 failed to produce a signal in Worthington, Cingular agreed to send a Nokia 3120. Problem solved.

High St. / Dublin-Granville Rd. intersection, Columbus, OH 43085 Sat Dec 11, 2004

With the Motorola V220, reception is so bad that I cannot place or receive calls from anywhere inside my house or the nearby area. The phone will not ring in my house, so I am often not aware that I received a call or voicemail until I drive to work the next day (Downtown Columbus). Cingular responded by sending me two replacement handsets for the Motorola V220. When neither of the replacement phones offered any resolution, Cingular agreed to try a different model, the Motorola V180, which also failed to work in or near my home.
