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

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

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.

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.

Have tried Suncom and hated it because of all the dropped calls or no service. Since switching to Sprint 3 years ago. Not an area in Myrtle Beach or the Grand Strand that has had no signal. The only one I have found is about a 4 mile area on 17 between Georgetown and Charleston.

good service in myrtle beach area. and west to. longs,sc only trouble spot I know of. I think cinuglar has what they say: more bars,in more places. !

SunCom's customer service bites, and the call centers are uncooporative. Too bad they have the best plan (Unplan) so they know people won't leave them.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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

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.
