Phone always indicates 2 bars of service. If you get a call, don't move! If you do move you are guaranteed to loose the call. If I stand on the rock in the front yard and look the right way, without moving. I can talk.

Extremely poor if any recption when inside. Have to go out side with one hand in the air and holding the phone at a 45 degree angle to be able to make a call. As soon as my service plan is up I am switching to another service. Wife has Verizon and it works great.

Verizon reception calling my family in Smyrna Tenn, is characterized by 3 to 4 dropped calls per use to this area. This unnatural occurrence happens either indoors or outdoors. I have complained to the FCC on two occasions only to be referred to some Verizon contacted clearing house for resolution. In other words no change, not sure what the FCC role in these types of complaints are. I cannot wait until this contract ends so that I can “hear me now” when I call my family.

Finally decided to step into the 21st century and get a cell phone. I probably did too much research, but I compared all the providers here and talked to everybody I knew. Seemed like most co-workers were pleased with their service, but I had a friend with nTelos that advised me against it for lack of signal in many places. It seemed like Alltel and Verizon got the best reviews and seemed to do the best at work and in several places I asked about. I compared all the plans and Alltel also seemed to do very well compared to others, especially when compared to Verizon since those were the main 2 that were recommended for best coverage. I did like the My Circle bonus. But since I got the phone about a month ago, I've also noticed great coverage. I can make a call whenever and wherever, even in buildings others warn me about. For this area, Alltel coverage has been great in my usage but I will update if I find any weak spots to warn others about.

We have good reception with our Virgin Mobile phones (4 different models) except INSIDE our house or some stores. Not many dropped calls. BUT, most of the Eastern Shore has no reception which is a problem for those who travel up North a lot.

Sprint Connectivity in our home (Mar 2005-Jul 2006) away from a window no bars, next to window 1-bar. Calls answered or made from home usually lose connection. Had same reception problems with Verizon and Sun prior to Sprint. Next door neighbor has Alltel. His phone displays 4 bars in my house and excellent reception.

This is ridiculous. If we're able to place or receive a call we cannot keep a call for more than 4 minutes without loosing service. If someone is reading this, let's get some more service out here and let's rise up.

I have been with Verizon for nearly 3 years. Had many dropped calls on my last cell phone (Kyocera) but, having much better reception with my Motorola. I do have trouble with reception when there are thunderstorms coming in. I have noticed that if I keep up with my monthly updates by dialing in *228, my service is at it's best. I have used my cell in many northern states with pretty decent results. All in all, I'm satisfied with my service.

i've had Alltel for more than a year and get great reception most places except in my home. it's come and go on the ground floor, but always good on the 2nd floor. great customer service in my experience. was told by a friend who works for a rival service that Alltel has the most towers in the area-maybe true, maybe not, but I rarely have a dropped call in the entire hampton roads area and beyond.
