Bad reception near home but good reception every place else but Dandridge.

Standing outside the house, at the left front corner of the carport, from approx. 8:15 to 9:30 PM, I get enough signal to make a call. Otherwise, no signal at the house and intermittant throughout the local area.

US Cellular has the strongest and most consistent CDMA coverage for Dandridge especially downtown, where Verizon has only, at best, 1 bar when US Cellular has 5. Voice quality on US Cell is also better than Verizon. Further, Verizon has recently ran into capacity issues causing calls not complete or be dropped. US Cell = best choice.

AT&T STRONGLY recomended that I switch to GSM sortly before Cingular took over AT&T. Since the takeover, I have found service in the Jefferson County area of East Tennessee and several areas of Knox County has dwindled to nonexistant or poor. Dropped calls, no rings, direct to voicemail, and one sided conversations is now the norm. Cingular reps act like they've not heard any complaints. I know I've left several with specific locations... .no fixes !
