Have not had a dropped call in this area. They must have new towers around here because all the bars are up on my phone. Customer service I must say was pretty bad when they were Cingular but since they switched over to AT&T their customer service has somewhat improved.

Perfect reception haven't had a problem yet in the surrounding Providence Area. However on route 146 North there is a dead spot near the 146A / 146North Worcester split.

I travel between Providence and Washington DC a lot. I always have reception and most of the time I'm at four or Five Bars. Inside buildings, even in basements, I'm good to go. I really think the phone itself has a major say in the reception. I've traveled into rural parts of Virginia and MASS on Verizon with my Samsung and been just fine. I've used T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T and none of them compare to the reception I get with Verizon. Just don't buy a LG phone if you go with Verizon. My experience with LG products has been horrible... but that's just me.

I have never had any reception problems anywhere in Providence or where I live in Warren,RI. The only issues I've encountered are with other people calling me with differant service.

Reception good most of the time, most of the places. Calls are dropped rarely. At home (1 mile north up hope) reception is spotty, but seems to be improving in last month.

Cingular has towers in RI, plus allows users to roam for free on ATT towers, assuming of course you are using a GSM phone. Strong signal availability in most of the state.

Closest ATT Cell is in an adjoining town on the other side of a ridge which makes up the Mount Pleasant area of Providence. Often had to go outside to complete a call. Reception improves as I go up the hill... .. Sprint (otoh) has two local cell sites in the area, 300 yards and the other 1 / 4 mile. ATT drops calls, Sprint gives me 5 bars all the time; 3 in my basement!
