I had terrible reception on my old Treo 650, but when I bought a iPhone 3G a few months back and now have usually have full strength inside the house and outside. I'm not sure if AT&T added additional towers or it is the change in phones, but I'm much happier with my service than before. I almost always have all bars full.

DO NOT. I repeat, DO NOT get Verizon Wireless if you live in, or around, Burke Centre. You will drop almost all of your calls - if you are able to make them in the first place. I can't even send a text message from my phone on most days from my house. I hope it is not Burke Centre Conservancy that is preventing towers from the area.

My phone never gets any reception and it doesn't look like Verizon is going to do anything about it. I thought it was only Verizon that had reception problems however, it seems like everyone is affected from it. It's just pathetic, absolutely pathetic.

Horrible reception in my townhouse. I have to go to a specific corner of my third floor to even get reception. Calls drop about 90% of the time. Hard to believe there is such horrible reception in such a highly populated area! Frustrating!

Mostly get 3 bars, okay reception, even inside the house (lucky me!). Get zero reception if I go outside the immediate neighborhood complex like across the street at McDonalds or Safeway area.

Reception is always 2 bars or less. Calls are dropped constantly. Sometimes reception is better outside, but not always. This is ridiculous.

Only 1 bar. Call drops.

Only worked part time in house. Poor area for any company apparently--any time of day or night you can find folks in front of their houses TRYING to get a call completed.

Reception fades in and out. Sometimes I can get 3 bars but most offen 1 to none. When setting the phone setting to roaming only (Verizon signals) I can get 2 to 3 bars on average. EV-DO seems to connect at pretty decent speeds but that also depends on how many bars of course but I do connect at EV-DO vers. x1.

Just moved to Burke Centre -- shocked to find that Verizon has shoddy coverage at best. Verizon has always had superior coverage wherever I've lived (Columbus, Boston, Arlington, Alexandria, and rural Ohio), but we've been getting static and dropped calls so far in Burke. A friend got perfect coverage with Sprint, but I'm not sure I'm ready to switch without testing out various carriers...
