Always have full 3G all around CNU and surrounding Newport News. My friends have Sprint and AT&T and they don't even get service in the dorms, have to go outside for a phone call.

I get zero to one bars at all times, inside and out. Frequently get dropped calls.

I never have a problem getting reception. Others with different service have trouble getting a signal in places where I don't. Rarely dropped calls. Can talk through bridge tunnels. Even get a signal inside of most buildings. I even get a signal at the Jamestown 4H near Surry. Verizon has horrible phone selection and none with wi-fi so that you can use your phone as a modem. They also lack smartphones with quad capabilities for use in international markets when traveling abroad. Aside from that, I have no complaints out of 7 years of service.

I have to go outside to use the cell phone. Often there is a delay in even receiving voice mail... it comes in an hour or two after it was sent to me! Reception is very poor and it is frustrating to pay for service you don't get... .

Verizon is the best by far in this area. If you want reliable service in Hampton Roads, Verizon is the only way to go.

Generally good reception from Verizon and much improved over Sprint (switched a year ago). I think Verizon wins big in this area.
