VERY POOR if any reception. Have to go outside and walk across the street to talk on the phone. A tin can and string might work better.

the reception is really poor... when I do get reception I have to run to the parts of the house that can hold a call, but usually the calls drop after a minute or so. Unfortunately I just re-upped right before I moved here... I'm screwed

Reception alright with my wife's phone (same model) and poor with mine (already replaced phone). Signal too weak to use either phone at home. Other dead zones in LO. Overall reception seems to become worse. Poor coverage in LO acknowledged by Verizon Wireless.

Coverage in and around the school is excellent. Very few dropped calls, and excellent data coverage. The only weak spot is in the lower science wing which has 12in Concrete walls.

Frequent dropped-calls, dead-zones, and spotty over-all coverage. Even with the antenna extended, the phone has either 1 bar with the "Extended network" or no coverage at all.

A consistent dead Spot. Sprint has always had poor coverage. The phone itself seems to work fine, but the call quality of the Sprint network is scratchy, not to mention the sporadic dead spots.

Reception is great indoors and outdoors. Calls are rarely dropped except in basement levels of buildings.

I've had ATT TDMA for 9 years! It has worked well here in LO, on the mountain, in thne gorge, and at the coast. Last year, I tried their GSM plan and had NO reception at my home-that lasted one day and I returned all four phones. They refuse to upgrade me without a contract renewal even though I've been with them for almost 10 years. I'd really like free evenings and weekends (tho I effectively have free weekends with my weekend minutes). I am currently without contract so have a free move but have struggled with the alternatives. I get an 8% discount because of my employer. Verizon seems ok but charges $20 per extra line (and I have a total of 3 phones). All the other providers charge $10. Sprint is inexpensive but their native network is limited. T-Mobile has terrible coverage outside the Portland metro area.

No reception in Mountain Park, Lake Oswego... across from PCC Sylvania. AT&T sucks. Many days and nights of frustration. If I'm lucky I will get to speak to somebody for about 2 minutes without be disconnected (at thats on a GOOD day). People try to call me and my phone says "This Phone Number Is No Longer In Service" to them, when they were just talking to me! Phone cuts off every minute. I spend far more time trying to reconnect and call back than I do speaking to my friends. Even at work in Tualatin I barely manage to a get a bar or two.

As long as we stay put, our GSM signal and call quality are OK. If my wife wants to go out for a "walk and talk" using her phone in the Stephenson School neighborhood, the call quality suffers severely and the calls drop. My take on GSM is that if you get a good signal, don't move! That doesn't make it the best choice for folks on the go. I understand AT&T is attempting to beef up their network but for now, CDMA with analog (multimode phone) is the best choice. Looks like I may need to give Verizon a call.
