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.
sprint is the best I've found. There are 3 bad spots I have found, usually low in the valley, on Rt 52 in Longwood, always drops call, 842 towards West Chester under trees always sparse, and Rt 100 near Boot rd, near the newer Wawa as someone mentioned. Other than that I love Sprint
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
