Good (at elast usable) at home and most places around Newport News. That's why I chose the T -- nothing worse than a bucket of minutes you can't use due to no service! I note though that signal seems to be nil around McManus and Denbigh Blvd.+ / - a block or two. As with all the GHz stuff though, penetration into buildings at ground level (other than wood structures) tends to be poor. I have yet to find ANY carrier with the kind of coverage one gets in a major city like Detroit or NYC however. Too many trees and not enough towers in Newport News!

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

Travel all over with my job, only real complant with Sprint is a lack of decent phones. Been in Texas and got 3 - 4 bars in a car with a person on Verizon with no signal. Noticed most Sprint complaints are on Samsung phones, mgiht be the older phones or you may need to swtich to newer phones.

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

This area has long been a issue fo Alltel to provide good digital service. Numerous calls to Alltel to improve have made little progress. And dont even hope for good in building coverage as it won't happen. Many users many phones all the same issues. Funny thing Alltels orginial office for the area was located in this business park for lots of major business such as Canon USA.

All Cell phones in this area are a waste of money. We live right down the street from Menchville HS, and we barely get a connection. JUNK industry for poor service.

I don't know if it's because my phone is so old, or the service just isn't very good in the area... Outside it usually works decent, drop calls occasionally, inside my appartment it's terrible. In a two floor townhouse on the top floor (no special sheilding or anything) I get dropped calls all the time, downstairs, i'm lucky if I have signal. If I am on the phone downstairs it's usually: "hello? can you hear me?" downstairs Alltel and Verizon have some problems usually too though.

works ok if your outside. Once you enter a building or go inside your house or work, I get dropped calls and lots of "hello, r u there?" When your outside though, Cingular is good...

Terrible! If you are lucky enough to get a call through at all, it will drop at least half the time.
