It changes from 0 to 2 bars back an forth

Have had Nextel for 5 years. Had i60 c and now i830. never had a problem with coverage, especially in older bldg's throughout mainline. Work from center city, to center county at penn state (heavy mountains) to Pittsburgh and on the roads in between. Great coverage, strong signal both with DC and phone. Odd, but no signal in grocery stores. Also have tmobobil using hotspots at home. Have Nokia with UMA. Great coverage across mainline and ardmore to king of prussia, no signal break from wireless to GSM, and free minutes when on wireless.

Usually get great reception. A few cases of dropped call but they are rare. Overall, great service and good reception

don't get T-Mobile if you live in ardmore. I have no reception in my house on wistar ln ever nor my girlfriend nor my friends that have tmobile. Going into manayunk no service, it's horrible.

if you live in ardmore, pa 19003 lower merion, don't get t-mobile. Every friend that I know that has T-Mobile including myself can not get reception in areas such as behind the high school or parts of montgomery ave. Sprint good though.

VZW is slightly weak in this area, but even though I'm only showing 2 bars the quality is great and never lose reception outside. When inside some buildings the signal becomes iffy. (0-1 bar). Inside a residence though, I see a slight improvement (bar wise) to 2 bars. But again the sound quality is equal to when my phone has full bars. So, overall no complaints except for high prices!

Overall Verizon IS the best. However, this particualr area is a weak spot on VZW's coverage area. Good reception outside and iffy signal inside, but even so rarely drop a call and call quality better than 5 bars with AT&T.

Horrible reception both indoors and outside.
