I drive all over the Pittsburgh area and have dropped calls occasionally, but really can't complain because I think every carrier does.

Just moved to Mt. Lebanon and Verizon wireless signal is terrible! Cannot make or receive a call in my own house (we even got a cell phone booster, which does little). Went to Verizon Wireless store on Mt. Lebanon Blvd.and was told that reception is a problem esp in Mt. Lebanon area but generally throughout Pittsburgh because of the hills and valleys. Was told that Mt. Lebanon township will not put in a Verizon tower, which the store manager said would alleviate the problem, because of aesthetics. Ridiculous! I wouldn't mind seeing it if it means I can actually use the cell phone service I'm paying for! Wonder if others have written / called the township. Also, my HTC Incredible distorts my voice so it sounds like a computerized man - never had these issues in state where we moved from.

VERY frustrating

Reception hasn't been great recently. There is no 3g service here, but I don't miss most calls or texts. It drops a call every once in a while, especially in Highland Park, and near Allegheny Cemetery. What I find funny is when we were in Hawaii service was perfect! If Verizon wanted better reception, (such as they have in Europe,) they could. Verizon simply doesn't feel it necessary, especially now they have the iPhone.

Reception has been very weak for years and continues to cut in and out. Surely, they will eventually invest in better reception for this high volume location!

i drop calls all the time in my apt, have to go out back if its important. people claim to call me but my phone wont ring. texts take forever. 3g is a joke in my apt. then on the beginning of augusta between the first and 3rd stop sign its a dead zone. always drop calls. also the case on edith st and sweetbriar.

I originally had Cingular. AT&T had bought them out and I thought I would stay with them. Service has been fine until lately. I keep getting network error or network busy when trying to make a call. Plus, the signal seems to be getting weaker. It is very frustrating when all of a sudden, a company you have with for a few years starts providing crapy service.

Signal is awful most of the time. Can't even send bbm messages a lot of the time.

I had to sit outside in order to have 1 single bar. We drove to Belfast and I actually got 3 bars in spotty locations.

Just switched from Sprint to T-Mobile. After 1 day I already had a dropped call. The most bars I ever get in my house are 3, I usually have 1 or 0. I really hate Sprint customer service and their available plans but at least I had good reception almost all the time.

coverage is the worst, especially compared to verizon,

While at work I get no reception at all it goes into roaming, I cant receive texts, calls, or go on the web. Or it searches for signal and drains my battery.

Lose all calls; I do not believe this is the phone. I called to report several times and they tell me they have bad towers and switch me to another one and this still happens. I cannot wait till my contract is up; I am definitely changing carriers.

Mt. Washington reception is deplorable with AT&T. Dropped calls, no calls, no signal, no data happen repeatedly. My Phone has turned into a paperweight since I downloaded 4.0!

I moved to Pittsburgh three weeks ago and haven't made a clear call with Verizon since. I can't even think of making a call in my house on N Highland Ave. I have to walk into the front yard, and even there my calls are dropped about half the time. Where I came from in South Carolina, Verizon was be far the best carrier. I have held off on getting an iPhone for years because my service with Verizon was the envy of all my AT&T friends. I guess I have no reason not to jump ship now.

Been with AT&T since they were Cingular. I have close to perfect coverage / data speed indoors and out all over the city and outlying burbs. So many people around here use Verizon and are unhappy. Used to have Verizon myself and had no signal in our basement and garage. Love At&t, cheaper and good service.

The reception is horrible. The calls are dropped at least 50% of the time. In our house we cannot get a good signal, so we have to go out to the backyard. My relatives have Verizon and they can even go to the basement to have a conversation! I cannot wait for my contract to expire!

Mt Wasington is crazy for Verizon Wireless. Sporadic sinals from ZERO to FIVE bars and back to ZERO for no obvious reason. aGPS devices like VZ Navigator get way off base, mine told me I was 130 miles away in Titusville PA. You'll have FIVE bars untill you press SEND then you'lll have NO BARS. all for NO APPARENT REASON... I suspect the reason is because the phone is higher than the base station cel towers below and this causes issues... but dam..it's 2010... can we fix this already???

Whitehall PA, Grove Rd poor signal starting at SpringHill Dr.and continuing to Caste Village. Inside a home in this neighboorhood causes signal to vary sporadicall between ZERO bars and ONE or TWO bars.

Usually good, although for some reason is spotty in late afternoon
