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?

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.

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!

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...

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!

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.

Reception with Verizon used to be pretty bad here, but there's a new tower nearby now and reception is strong even in the summer. I haven't had a dropped / staticy call in about ten months.

Tons of Dropped calls. Verizon says the tower is weak in this area and there are no plans to fix it anytime soon.

Overall, Verizon and Myrtle Beach get along. I have never dropped a call in Myrtle and rarely go somewhere were there is less then average reception.

Overall, I get decent reception in Myrtle Beach. Reception in Carolina Forest is mediocre. I am told that most providers don't have good reception in this area. My husband had an older Verizon cell phone and switched to Cingular specifically because his reception in this area was so bad. My newer Verizon Blackberry has better reception - but not as good as I would like.
