I just spent three days in Myrtle Beach(12 / 26-12 / 28)I received a call on 12 / 26 as I was existing off I95 and the reception was perfect. However, I did not receive a call or text, or able to place a call or text until 1 / 2 mile from I95 - 3 days later on 12 / 28! Went to Verizon while in Horry County and they said my phone was dead. Asked then why I am still receiving e-mails? Solution was to buy a new Blackberry for $250.00 because "sometimes this is how phones die." Has anyone else ever had this problem?

The reception is great here but the 4g data coverage starting at 62nd ave and north changes to 'edge'.

on vacation in Myrtle beach the service is horrible. I heard the city has contracts with at&t

We have an extender with our Verizon service and still have no signal or dropped calls constantly. Have called and called Technical support. Reps are always very kind / helpful but nothing ever changes.

sprint as carrier. dropped calls. texts arrive while in house and calls. calls are broken and hard to hear person. Sprint said my phone 2 years old and not getting good reception. bought Samsung seek and same. not sure if I should change carriers.

In my room at sandy beach resort in the palmetto bldg I get "no network coverage" even out on the balcony-nothing! I have to go out into main hallway to make or receive calls In the Magnolia side I get 1 and 2 bar coverage.

I love T Mobile's customer service but the reception in an area where I am most of the time is really bad... .frustrating because prices are good and it is a good company. I thought maybe the towers were being blocked by a big building that was recently built, and I called T Mobile maybe 10 times and no change in the towers at all... . so... .I am thinking of switching companies... .maybe a straight talk phone?

I live in Seaside Grove and have a $300 phone, my service should be impeccable. Instead I get constantly dropped calls, calls that fade in and out, and calls that never go through. People say they call me all the time, but my phone never actually rings. I thought maybe people were pulling my chain and not actually calling, so I called my cell from another phone, sure enough, it never rang. I pay $180 / month for Verizon service.. I sure as hell deserve better service than this!

I have a Verizon coverage and T-Mobile coverage and both work perfect.

Moved here 2005 with Cingular. Had full bars. Now 2010 with ATT and frequently have no reception and mostly only 1 bar.

correction on my comments posted today 8 / 3 / 2010 my zip code is 29579 not 29578 that is for reception on welcome drive plantation lakes

Waited four years for better signal. The new avalon tower was built right next to HTC / AT&T sub station. Which is owned by Verizon. HTC really dropped the ball on this one. There atennas are the lowest on the tower as Verizon is on the top. Lucky to average 1 to 2 bars and 3g usually 0 bars. Calls are being constantly dropped as before. The tower did nothing for our area. The time has come to see Verizon and check there signal and phone plans being there sitting on top of the tower. Shame on HTC you blew the chance to take care of your customers as you had promised. Kudos to Verizon

Reception is subpar and nonexistent in certain areas of the apt complex and inside my apt... .its insane! I just don't even make calls when I'm home... I'm in a very populous community and reception should a million times better...

Reception is very poor. You have to move around outside to get any bars at all. Will now work inside the house, and if it does your calls are dropped. Very spotty around the area.

HTC has been promising that a new tower will be coming for this area because they are aware of this problem for this area of carolia forest. The problem is we have been waiting now for 2 years. Think that it's been long enough.

Absolutely THE worst VZW reception ever here in Myrtle Beach! Being from NYC metro area I'm used of VZW being the best. I barely got a signal in my room and going outside was marginally better. I experienced 3-4 dropped calls per day, mostly in my room. I've traveled moderately across the US and this is by far the worst reception I ever experienced. The island is so small and flat, 1 well placed VZW tower could probably solve the problem. It should also be noted the reception was equally as poor on my Blackberry as my wifes LG!

My bars come and go as well as the NO SERVICE message. I can sometimes hear the phone ring but can never answer it at my house. I have to drive ~2 miles away before I can make and receive calls. Text messages sometimes take 20+ minutes to send because of the bad reception inside and outside of my house and in my area. T-Mobile is supposed to be great but it doesn't seem to work at all for me and it's really annoying!

Verizon sucks in Myrtle beach. Signal bouncing all over the place, loosing it at some points (all phones we have). Luckily I pulled up the service menu and changed it to "cell only" which forced it to roam on alltel. With the Alltel service, I've had 4 bars 1x and EV the entire time. They really need to finish the merger because Alltel is much stronger than Verizon here. It is pitiful how terrible Verizon is.

I live in the Seaside Grove apartment complex and am lucky to get 1-2 bars of reception in my apartment.
