Major Industrial Park for the Suffolk Area... When I visit this area my fully-charged cell battery runs out searching for a signal.

I had T-Mobile which wasn't bad in Hampton, but it was very very weak around Suffolk. I switched my number over to Alltel and so far the coverage has been much better. I get a signal all over and it's always very good. I get full signal where I need it at home and at work. I've spent time just driving around and watching the signal meter since I'm still in my trial period, and it's really hard to believe how much better Alltel is around here. Coverage is good and plans are nice too. I find that on my two lines I rarely use any anytime minutes since most of my calls are to the 10 unlimited numbers in my circle.

We are out in the middle of the country near Whaleyville and get excellant reception with Verizon Wireless!

Worst phone, worst reception, and worst customer service ever. My 2 year contract ends next week. I've had 3 of the V180s, and my son had 2 - because they died. Reception in the house is terrible. Sitting there with 4 bars, then drops the call. Then a bar or 2. Random work. If at home and need to make an important call, I use my land line. My husbands Verizon phone works just fine.

I work off of Burnetts Way at the hospital but live on basically the other side of Suffolk just off of E Washington St. It seems like I travel all over the city though but Alltel reception has always been great. I've tried it out for a while, 4 months now after getting a Razr from their store on N Main. But I get full signal at home and at work on 5 bars. Reception is great all over the city and it seems like even the backroads are covered great. No problems driving toward Emporia or Norfolk either. I'm very happy with this service. Call quality is also great and no dropped calls like I previously had with another provider I won't mention. I'm seriously thinking about getting rid of my landline too now because of how reliable it has been.

Driver, VA Perfect Reception. I have never expeirenced any type of disruption and ALWAYS have full bars.

Very poor reception in neighborhood. Reception increases greatly when exiting neighborhood. I get great reception from Sprint everywhere except in that neighborhood.

I get 5 bars in the house 1st and 2nd floor nice reception.

Since I first wrote on 6 / 28 / 05, Verizon said they need another tower to cover my area, as I am 1.2 miles too far away from their downtown tower. At least at the end of this month I can switch carriers without a penalty as they don't care whether the "Can you hear me now?" man can hear in my driveway. They have called me 4 times to renew and take a survey, but do nothing about the poor service in my home area. I am tired having to use the speaker phone to somewhat hold a call.

I seldom get more than two bars and frequently drop calls inside my house - Verizon freely admits I am in a weak reception area and that they "have plans to improve the system out there." I have to move around my house to find the best room where I willnot drop a call.
