Love T-mobile's coverage in lynchburg. It has gotten significantly better in the year I've lived here. T-Mobile usually drags its feet on rolling out 3G coverage, but the lone wolf in this case is AT&T. Upgrading next week and I'm sticking with T-Mobile because of their 3G coverage maps. Looks good!

I have had Alltel for more than two years and have had no problems with reception. It's the best wireless company I have had. We only have cellphones with no landline phone at all so it is very important to get good reception. I would really like to switch to TMobile to get better rates but am a little leary to do so.

I have had AT&T for several years now and it works great in Lynchburg. EPIC SIGNAL! They keep adding towers in my area, my signal keeps getting better, and having the 3G is awesome! Not to mention their 3G is way faster than the competition, plus that speed is being upgraded as well, and then 4G is coming. Assuming all things stay the same, I will never switch!

I would suggest getting Verizon. I get 3-5 bars in my boyfriend's apt. I havent had any problems with Verizon in this area. Ive been to Charlottesville, va and my phone has roamed but I got reception no matter what. Just couldnt open up Pix messages or videos but could text.

All around Lynchburg I have perfect service. Even at LU when I am inside I have pretty decent service accept for in the heart of North Campus which is where I will be lucky if I get 1 bar. For LU students, SPRINT is definitely the best service there is!

I am exceedingly happy with Sprint's coverage in and around Lynchburg. There are a couple of dead zones between Forest and Bedford on 221 (my daily commute) but I can plan around it. Around Lynchburg and in my Wyndhurst basement, I have been very happy with Sprint. My only complaint with Sprint is the phones: the offers are not great. There aren't many fun options (No I-PHONE for you!)... But functionally, Sprint is your #1 choice in Lynchburg!

I have great coverage in the entire Lynchburg area... is just listed this particular section because live in the area and do not have home phones... we depend on our cell phones for communication inside our homes and it works fantastic. made the mistake of going to Alltel for 2 weeks to try to save on cost and the coverage was horrific (same phone)

In the far western portion of the Fort Hill area, there is either one bar or no reception with AT&T. If you're inside of a home, forget it. I know AT&T's 1900MHz signal has a notoriously poor reputation around the area, but when you're in the middle of the city, you'd expect at least 3 or 4 bars. In fact, I'd expect that anywhere within city limits. Lynchburg isn't that large of a town.

I have read a lot of comments and agree WE NEED MORE TOWERS! Reception through parts of Timberlake Rd, ( suck) For the past 6 mths or so I've had one problem or another and each time I call they blame the phone, this, that or the other and it has become such a hassle... ..I'm lucky here lately if I get one bar, and usually have to wear the blue tooth inside to talk at all. I hope ATT wakes and up and realizes we do more towers and espeically through certain parts of Timberlake Rd, they might be losing some good customers within the near future.

Coverage is good in most areas, but has gotten worse in the last two years. There is no coverage in most of Rivermont, near either hospital, and it drops calls everytime on Lakeside and Enterprise near Wyndhurst. I will have 5 bars in some areas and still not be able to make or keep a call. ANd then, three seconds later, I can. Very frustrating.

Alltel is pretty cool. Ive never had a problem with "no service" around Lynchburg. I have received the "all circuits busy" message a few times, but other than that it works fine. I would like to see Verizon wireless come to Lynchburg~ they are probaly the only service thats better.

Recent crossover from Alltel to Cingular because I go to college in Orlando. Service in Lynchburg is not nearly to the par of alltel. If I have two bars it is a miracle. Service at AREVA NP at Old Forest Rd is decent, but once again Alltel is the best for VA. If you are sometimes in VA Cingular will suit you fine also.

I get 2 bars at most at my house and about 80% of my calls I make while at home get dropped. As far as around the city, I still get a lot of dropped calls. So much for the most bars anywhere and the least dropped calls. They definitely need to work on coverage around here, as well as customer service.
