I have had T-Mobile for 3 years, and am going to sign in again for another 2 year contract. In this area, and while driving around Utah and Idaho (As I work ALL OVER) T-Mobile rarley lets me down. There are a few spots and times when I can't get good reception (Like in Sandy Costco, 1300 W 10000 S, 6200 S 700 E)), but 99% of the time, I'm good. My friend had Sprint and it was always dropping calls in the area, but not that bad, but my cell phone always won :)

What about AT&T Reception around Riverside Dr. in Sandy near that River Oaks Golf Course. I was thinking about getting an Iphone. I'm on Verizon right now and it's fine there.

Terrible service in this area. Most calls drop or are garbled to the point of not being able to understand one another. Previous residents said they had no problem with Verizon here.

In our experience, Cingular GSM has the worst reception / transmission of any carrier in the Salt Lake market, and their customer service is equally dismal... don't waste your time with these guys; it's not worth it for all the dropped calls, garbled conversations and 30 minute wait times with customer service...... their attitude is best summarized "we're too big to care" We'd highly recommend TMobile, Verizon and Qwest, in that order, for transmission / reception and voice quality superior to Cingular...

No reception in store and school which are all in this area. Outside reception is below average.

Calls were dropped very frequently (more than half the calls). I had SprintPCS in the same area and had very few dropped calls and have now switched to AT&T and so far, so good.

Despite getting 1-2 bars of reception call are never dropped and the call clarity is still near perfect. When the phone is on 3G is it extremely slow. When 4G is switched on I get 1 or 2 bars and the internet is very fast.

Droid X doesn't allow outgoing calls because of only having one or two bars--making it totally useless in my house. My old Verizon Krazor gets decent reception at my house, although it drops on occasion. I've had two others phones through Verizon here and only one of them was dependable. Unless Verizon Wireless puts another cell phone tower in the East Sandy area, I'm probably going to end up leaving them. Sorry, Verizon... I've loved your service, but I really need to be able to make calls from my house.

Signal strength varies during the day. Few if any dropped calls and good voice quality. Data speeds are slow however with avg of 550kbps down and 75kbps up in what should be a 1400 kbps network.

Very good signal: did not experience any dropped calls issue even through the iPhone hardware I love AT&T in this area!

Very poor reception at my house. Drops calls frequently. Better when driving around my home area, few dropped calls, but quality is only fair.

Dead zone. Constant dropped calls also in Granite area where we live. One or no bars. Unreliable. Going to try T-Mobile.

I have lived at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon my entire life and started using Verizon first. Verizon never had service anywhere from little cottonwood to big cottonwood on wasatch blvd. I switched to Sprint about three years ago and usually have at least three bars no matter where I go.

Quality with Verizon is unreliable in and around my neighborhood.

Poor reception. Signal drops from full bars to zero bars during a call. Sometimes fluctuates from Verizon to extended area. On average dropping each call 2-3 times in this area. The rest of the valley is nearly perfect. This one area is beyond horrible.

Verizon is the best, and it couldnt be any better. Get service everywhere, and in places where no one else gets service. Rarely drops calls, best out there.

AT&T TDMA / AMPS provides very good coverage in this area including up the Cottenwood canyons and the ski resorts. The canyon reach may be due to AT&T phones ability to use the AMPS analog network which has greater range than the digital nets. However, AT&T TDMA / AMPS is being discontinued by 2006 and may degrade between now and then as Cingular converts the AT&T TDMA and AMPS 800 MHz to GSM 800. So TDMA customers accustomed to excellent coverage have to switch to something with inferor coverage. From what I read and hear, Verizon offers the next best coverage and theoretically does provide AMPS for rural area coverage.

This area by Little Cottonwood Canyon has poor to no cell service. AT&T / Sprint PCS / Qwest cell phones have worse service in this area.

I have lived in Sandy, UT (5-10 miles south of Salt Lake City) and have worked in Salt Lake City near the Utah University area for the past 3 years and have used Verizon service the entire time. I think the service has been very good to excellent. I do hit one blackout spot that lasts for about 1 / 2 mile on my drive home but I think this is due to a microwave shot (interference) that crosses the valley and is not due to Verizon. From my experience in Utah and from my national travel I would highly recommend Verizon National Coverage.

Cingular works really well when I am traveling on business to Southern California but doesn't work well in my home or on highland drive. Every time I drive by the Pinnacle appartments on 7600 S. Highland Dr.I drop the call. Every time without fail!
