Have had Verizon Wireless for 10+ years with no problems. Calls are clear and internet apps work well whether at home or traveling around the US. Only glitch is that sometimes texts and messages are delayed when I travel.

1 to 3 bars. Even with 3 bars the conversation breaks up. Have had this problem for over two years, Verizon was able to improve situation from poor to average, but is now back to poor. Verizon admits the Summit is in a problem area.

3 bars max. Generally 1-2. Callers often cannot hear me and I cannot hear them or they sound "choppy" (I hear about every forth or fifth syllable). Coverage is no better outside my house or in other areas in the community. Verizon says The Summit and Lake Carolina are in a "weak area". But, the coverage used to be better. Verizon store programmed "different towers" into the phone, but the operation did not improve. Looking now for a different carrier.

I get anywhere from 0-1 the majority of time at home... can't reach anyone and have to walk outside and say, "can you hear me now?" And I don't even look like that idiot! Verizon has had terrible coverage in this area. Furthermore, with my new Blackberry it is even worse... I drop about 4 out of every 10 calls... Texting sometimes delays up to a 1 / 2 hour or more at times... same with messages. I spoke with Verizon two years ago (before going to Iraq) and again upon returning... same terrible coverage which is extremely hard to believe since they are supposed to have the best coverage. :-(

Verizon Wireless, We are on a mission to transfer our residents to AT&T. "Can you hear me now"?

We have used Verizon for over 6 years. about a month ago, reception at my house changed. 3 bars to 1 or none. Cannot use phone because you can hear but people cant hear you. They say that its a low coverage area and no date to improve. "Low coverage?????" Its right next to the summit and sandhills. I believe they are reducing power out put of the towers to save energy costs. I keep hearing of more and more people who had coverage but now can't use their phone in their home. There is no way you can have good service with the same provider then all of sudden bad coverage. They've changed something and they don't want customers to know. They will lose business and people will start using land or cable phone at home. Very dissapointing, I'm looking at changing. Contract was up last year.

Very poor reception. This is the 3rd phone we have had with verizon. We get one bar at best inside our home. There are no large buildings or hills to block signals. There is also a cell tower within a mile of our development. Verizon says they are aware of the problem, but offer no solution. I think they should provide customers with cell phone repeaters to boost signal.

Verizon is the best! My family has Alltel and Nextel and they keep asking to use my phone because they do not get reception in most places! Feels good to be a part of the most reliable network!

I don't understand it, but I get one or two bars at the most. Perhaps it's because we live in mini-valley, but the reception is horrid. I hadn't planned on getting a landline, but I was forced to. And you don't know how much I hate Bellsouth.
