I'm the same bus driver that wrote a review on this site for US Cellular on July 30, 2004. I mentioned in my last review all the troubles I was having but that I was going to change from US Cellular's TDMA system to their new CDMA system to try it out first before I changed providers. I renewed my contract for two years last October. These past four months of cellular service have been GREAT! GREAT coverage, 5 bars of signal most everywhere I go. No dropped calls! No warbled calls! No calls cutting out! I did have ONE, repeat, ONE dropped call, and that was in Sam's Club deep in the middle of the building. So needless to say, I love US Cellular's new CDMA system! I'm a bus driver and I've been all over Tulsa and over quite a bit of NE Oklahoma and have had great coverage! Plus the plan I'm on beats anyone else hands down. $55 bucks a month gets me 1500 anytime minutes, unlimited nights and weekends starting at 7pm, unlimited mobile to mobile, and unlimited incoming calls! I have looked at all the coverage maps of different cellular providers and US Cellular has the largest coverage area in Oklahoma! Wonderful customer service! Now my dislikes about US Cellular. They don't have very many phones to choose from. They don't have internet access. They charge too much for their "Easyedge" service. Overall I am very pleased with US Cellular and if they keep up the good service I will be a customer for a long time.
I recently had ATT with TDMA service using a Nokia 8260 and upgraded to a Cingular GSM plan using the Motorola V551. In my apt which is on the 1st floor, I dont get very good reception, 2-3 bars usually... although sometimes 1 or 4.
Very happy with cingular and this phone. However, my dad has the Samsung SGH-X427m on the same plan as me and his reception isnt nearly as good. I have not had any other phones besides Nokia 5165 and 6340i.
I don't get reception anywhere on 15th Street and I work in the MCI building at 69th and North Lakewood Ave and I have no reception all day at work which drives me crazy since I cannot text anyone or anything all day.
I live in a second floor apartment and can not use my cellular phone unless I go stand in the parking lot, away from any buildings. Even on Riverpark trail I get a lot of static. I went to the dealer to ask about options for improving my reception, and they blew me off. I can't wait to change carriers.
I generally get good reception all around Tulsa. I'm a bus driver so I get around town often. I do have a problem with my phone cutting out, drops calls often, and occasionally warbles a call. Out of town calls in Vinita and Miami were staticy. I am not sure if it's my phone or their service. I've had my phone flashed and the technicians have done something to it that fixed the problem for a while. I use a Nokia 5165 on US Cellular's TDMA system. Next I am going to try their CDMA system before I switch cellular companies. The ONLY reason I am going to give this company a second chance after this two year contract is because they have really good offers that aren't too expensive! Before US Cellular I used Cingular for 6 years before they went GSM. But that was two years ago. The only reason I changed were because they were too expensive. Other than that Cingular was Excellent! Excellent reception, coverage, and phones! If I leave US Cellular I will definitely go back to Cingular!
