I don't use the phone all that much. But I am quite happy with it. $50 for 550 anywhere minutes lasts me more than a year. Never paid much attention to the bars. The only missing coverage occurs in the middle of a supermarket.

Coverage in West Chester is generally good, but there are bad places to the north. Coverage on Sunset Hollow Rd.is almost non-existent. It's impossible to drive on Rte 100 between Rte 30 and Rte 202 without a disconnect. I would often avoid that part of Rte 100 if I'm on the line.

Wonderful service for many years, great reception even in my basement. Only once had a problem and Verizon determined it was a defective phone, not the network.

TMobile will be fine on some days, then drop calls constantly on rainy or overcast days. It's very strange that the weather affects it this much. I've had to stand on my porch in the rain so I don't drop a call with my manager. Verizon worked fine at my home for 7 years and I changed networks only when my company went to Blackberry on TMobile. TMobile also drops calls in west NJ between Somerset, NJ and Bucks county. TMobile coverage stops completely on the west portion of the PA turnpike between Breezwood and Irwin exits, leaving about 90 minutes of drivetime without phone service.

I dropped ATT because of no bars in my home. I went with Sprint and nothing changed. My son-in-law comes over wth his ATT phone and gets full bars. I don't get it.

phone reception is very poor. no bars

Usually have a bar or two, but can't make a call inside without dropping

I recently moved to West Chester, and I get barely any bars, I've called Verizon they say it's due to lack of towers and that they been trying to put a tower in, however, the administrator of west Chester wont allow it because the way it looks! I'm going to try and email them and see if I can get a tower put in

Have to stand near a window to get reception. Calls drop frequently when moving around the area. T-Mobile - please fix !

1 bar (if that). Really bad in this area. Hopefully new tower will come soon?

the amount of droped calls between 11 phones per day is on average of 4 per phone also there is little if no signal in alot of chester and delware counties. With about 20 or so towers the service by Nextel is getting worse by the day. They suck

Verizon coverage in my community is weak. I always lose a call on my way home from work as soon as I enter the community. Once in my house, I have to standing near a window to maybe get one bar of service.

Just a quarter of a mile south of Boot Rd. and Route 100 my signal drops to nothing for Sprint.

I have T-Mobile, and am disgusted by the fact that it absolutely has no reception where I live. I am lucky if I have one bar. I have called T-Mobile and was basically told that they can create a service request, but no guarantees that it will be fixed, or even looked at within this month ! Since this is a business phone, I am missing important calls at home and am forced to change my cellphone voicemail to redirect calls to my home number ! Cingular works fine in this area... T-Mobile is the problem :(

Complete reception drop once inside my development. It's as if there were a jammer at the stop sign. No signal inside house unless in the loft where 1 bar shows up periodically. I called T-Mobile about it two years ago and they said they were putting in new towers, which is why I came to this site - to see if this were true. Nothing has changed. I hope the carriers read this and see the deadzone of coverage and an opportunity for their competitors!

There is zero reception inside the house. The only way I get service is standing outside at the bottom of my driveway.

I get nothing when I get within 2 miles from home. On RARE occasion, with a full battery, i'll get one bar, but it is like snow in july. I am looking to switch. The only problem is, I really like the phone and the deals. :(

Cannot receive in my house at all. Cingular really needss to add a tower in the area bounded by Grove, Boot and RT 322. This is a large residential area, and the limited tower availability cannot satisfy the need.

In the last 2 months my reception has dropped off terribly. Sometimes when I make a call to other Cingular phones its says" the call cannot be completed, a long distance access code is required" wtf? as well as "all circuits are busy, please try again later" It's not my phone cos' its brand new and its been the same with 2 other phones of mine. Cingular sux right now, period!

I can't get reception in my house, on my street or in our neighborhood. I need to drive to Wickerton and 352 to use my cell phone. I am looking to buy a new cell phone. My family plan is great though. 3 phones $60.00 a month
