FAdes in and out of roam throughout the house, but the calls all come in with no drops even though I sometimes have to turn my head to get a clear reception. Tried T-Mobile, Verizon and Alltel with no better results. It's farm country, what can you expect.

Horrible even outdoors. I can't find reception anywhere in this town. I have to drive to Westlake to use my cell phone.

Traveling west on Bagley from Fitch for two miles the signal is intermittent. Calls fall consistently. Service is not good until you reach Jennings Rd. Usually one bar or none.

Cingular told me that North Ridgeville is a "low coverage area" DESPITE what their sales dogs tell you in the stores. According to Cingular C.S., there are no towers within 3 miles of this area, which means terrible reception. We're getting a ton of "call failed" and "network busy" messages. When we do connect, the call either drops or sounds like the other person is talking underwater with a megaphone. Their great "unlimited mobile-to-mobile" enticement provides the worst reception, of course. The CSR suggested we try Nokia phones as they're supposed to have better reception than our current phones do. Our other phone is a Motorola V180... same problems with that phone. It's been two weeks on the plan and we're dropping / failing to connect on about 40% of our calls. Cingular does offer a 30-day "walk away" clause which I'm seriously considering.
