Verizon dead zone 3581 Charles City Rd Richmond Va 23231 One to none bars calls are dropped on a regularly Verizon has never checked signal strength I have a 3G smart phone.
I get signal when I'm out on the street but as soon as I step inside my office, there is no coverage. I'm thinking of switching but want to retain my lovely curve :)
I can rarely complete a phone call at this location. However, it is better in other locations throughout the city of Richmond. To be fair I am using an old LG. (Other Verizon models appear to pick up better.) Still, not impressed with the coverage.
Been with T-Mobile for years. I love the service, I only have 3 bars while at work but other thatn that I love the service. Can't wait for the 3G to come to Richmond. Oh boi
AT&T has so many deadspots that the coverage is like the Burmuda Triangle. One moment I've got "more bars" and the next minute, welcome to the dead zone!
Had been with AT&T since they were Suncom. We had to switch from AT&T to Verizon, because AT&T's service had 1 or 0 bars in the house. We were tired of having to go outside to make a phonecall. Switched to Verizon and now we are b / w 3 and 4 bars inside! The service has been great, no complaints. It is bitter-sweet though. We switched to Mac computers in the house and love them. So naturally we want iPhones now. I am anxious to get my buddy over here with his iPhone 2nd gen to do a site survey of Signal stregnth I am hoping 3G network has improved the coverage.
Right on VCU campus, and I constantly have problems with Alltel's coverage. I remember the plan ages ago about a dollar or something every time a call was dropped?? Figure maybe they dropped that since they probably would be bankrupt only from the amount I drop... : / But no, inside my apartment coverage is dodgy at best, voices cut out often, and on the street, where I do feel safe, (but would be much more comfortable with good coverage) Its kind of shaky getting service, and calls are dropped often. Its really frustrating; looking to switch to Verizon or T-Mobile after consulting these reviews and doing some more research.
Breaking News: Parents foul up iPhone! I guess it wasn't meant to be. My near 80 yo parents are on my family plan. Couldn't wait to switch from Verizon to AT&T after the contract expired, but, alas, not a lick of reception inside parent's house. No where. Checked every room, upstairs and down. Had to go out into street to get a weak 1-2 bars. Still stuck with Verizon and my "not-quite-an-iPhone" LG Dare:-( Great network, great reception almost anywhere, but greedy, nickel-and-dime-you-to-death policies - like crippled bluetooth, blocked ringtones, etc. Bottom line: Don't leave parents out in the cold - even for an iPhone.
