I get great reception with my new service and new phone. The phone has 3 frequencies, which I am told helps with the reception. I was an AT&T customer, which was taken over by Cingular. Prior to changing to the new service, I had absolutely no service at my home. I am quite pleased that I can now use my free cell phone minutes inside my home, instead of using my land line phone.

AT&T sucks here at SRU. The towers are too short and when I walk down a hill I loose my reception.

Cell 1 sux. No reception here at all as well as several other spots along I79.

The coverage on CellularOne's GSM network in Slippery Rock is great. A new tower went online and all of Slippery Rock is 100%. The new location is on the Slippery Rock water tower. Additionly to the north east the coverage is good due to a new GSM tower location on Rt. 8 in Harrisville. Most of Rt. 8 from Butler north is covered using GSM which is an area that oftern receives no coverage with other provides!

SprintPCS used to have terrible reception in this area as recent as a year and a half ago. Currently, I get up to 2 bars in the basement of Bailey library where the University - provided CellularOne phone gets no reception. In fact, CellularOne is almost useless in most of the SRU campus if you're in a building. I've also driven the entire length of I-80 from Harrisville to New Jersey and usually have full reception the entire route. Last summer, I drove from SRU to Buffalo, NY and had full reception at max and 1 bar minimum the entire way. I think that SprintPCS has great coverage all over western PA except they have the smallest selection of "cool" phones. I've had their service for about 4 years now.

Almost all of Route 8 North from Unionville to Slippery Rock is deat on T-Mobile.

Pretty good reception! 4/5 bars sometimes 5/5 bars. Was thrilled. Had no problem accessing the Virgin XL/Virgin Extras and taking and sending pictures while in this area.
