I have just returned from Puerto Rico, where I had full coverage wherever I was in the country--mountains, seashore, wherever. It's hard to understand why there is such good coverage in a less developed country and the coverage here in the states is so spotty, even close to a major interstate. There are many "dead" spots in the Jamestown / Cedarville area, even though Verizon probably has more customers than any other carrier. Many of us are thinking of switching to Cingular with our next contract. Cingular doesn't seem to have a problem with covering our area.

In town reception is poor, but a mile south of town on Waynesville-Jamestown Rd. the reception is perfect.

I have great coverage in Jamestown Ohio. I get two bars less then full at Shawnee Lake, but overall I have good service when I'm at the lake. Cingular has great service along SR 42 between Cedarville and Xeina, other then Sprint PCS everybody else can't keep up a call on this road.

Is it Cingular or a bad phone???
