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.

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...

The phone constantly drops calls. I am lucky to ever see three bars and when I do, they don't last. I have been a long time customer, living elsewhere, but here I am just waiting for my contract to expire.

sometime I get 2 bars outside but when I enter my house I have to walk around looking for a signal. I,m lucky if I can get 1 bar and shall I say 3G what is that. Wish I had stayed in the CNU area where I was. Come on AT&T u can do better.

Rarely get bars in the house. They come and go. Going out to the street sometimes works. It's not just T-Mobile, neighbors with other carriers have the same problem - it's the location near the James River.
