I drop calls going through here every time when southbound and almost every time going northbound. With it being high on the bench, I would think that reception would be good, but I ALWAYS loose the call.

Complete dead zone inside buildings, right in the center of Salt Lake metro area. Poor to no coverage outside. Situated between Interstate 15, Interstate 215, and Hwy. 201.

Awful reception and frequently dropped calls.

Just reading over these reviews, it seems that Cingular has been the blunt of a lot of criticism. I have had Cingular for over a year now and absolutely love it. I had Verizon before. I honesty haven't experienced any of these things that other people are saying about dropped calls etc... Cell reception is only 50% the provider. The other half is the phone itself. If you have a good phone, you should have no problems. I recommend Siemens / Benq for reception quality, although you'll have to get these phones from Ebay or someplace cause Cingular doesn't carry them I'm a big fan of Cingular. Don't be swayed by biased opinion.

When in the basement of the house the calls will drop. The signal is very weak even upstairs. T-Mobile needs another tower in this area.

Cingular sucks... plain and simple. They also keep lying to me on the phone as I have been billed several times for a contract I don't have. Bad service, bad reception, bad provider.

So many dropped calls. I rarely can complete a call from my home. GRRRR!

Cingular GSM is a total waste of money of junk in Utah. Single cylces and down constantly and often drops off all together. Switched to T-Mobile and service is great now. Have yet to find a dead spot with T-mobie. I would never recommend Cingular to even my worst enemy!

Sprint coverage is really bad on 3300 South on the east side and in general it getting worse around the SLC valley. It always drops as I approach highland drive. Cell service at my house in the area is only 1 bar. I believe Sprint coverage is inversely proportional to their customer service wait time, the worse the coverage gets, the longer I wait on hold to speak to their customer dis-service rep in India.

T-Mobile's service in the last year-year and a half has improved quite a bit in the Salt Lake Valley. I am happy with my service. thanks,

My phone works OK in the University of Utah Health Sciences Campus and also in Research Park, but keeps switching back and forth between Analog and Digital modes right around Sunnyside. Often, it shows 2 bars in digital mode, but the outgoing calls seem to fail initially in digital mode, only to have the phone automatically switche to analogand dialing out. Analog works perfectly, and I wouldn't complain, except that it drains the battery very fast every time this happens. Updating the roaming lists by dialing *228 as per instructions from Verizon, and trying out the various network options on the phone ('Automatic A,' 'Automatic B' and 'Home only') haven't solved this problem in almost 2 years.

This is a major reception hole for most carriers--have canceled two services--all my friends and neighbors cannot get service here Verizon is the only carrier that consistently works--if you need service in this area go with Verizon--and if you need to get out of a contract have you carrier send someone out to test the service and you'll get out--insist on it!

always dropping calls. very poor reception.

Lucky to get any reception. Drop call repeatedly!

Phone calls drop 3-5 times in 10-15 minutes. Garbled.

Reception is poor in this area. Phone alternates between no signal, no bars, and 1 bar when inside. Usually 2 bars outside.

I get good reception even down in my basement.

Utah has crappy cell phone reception.

Can't use phone in my home.

Very poor reception (if at all), even though there is a tower fairly close. Customer service usually recommends upgrading the service to a more expensive plan. I'm not sure how that would help.
