290yap you could go to there myspace

Many dropped calls. Phone enters SOS modes multiple times a day no matter if outside or inside. Terribly disappointed in service in the Kent East Hill area. Other areas- Have NOT had a problem. Great svc.

There is a dead spot at this location. move a quarter of a mile either way and you get great reception. It is the only dead spot I have found. Otherwise, the signal strength elsewhere is strong.

Only tested Edge coverage since I put my T-Mobile sim in my unlocked iPhone 3G. Test calls to voicemail worked great. Once I get a T-Mobile phone with 3G I'll post here again.

Inside my house, more frequently then not, I get no signal at all. Sporadically will pick up a bar or 2 of edge and 3G, only to find when I place a call it fails. Found that T-Mobile has the closest tower(antennas are actually up on the power companys tower) to my location, just about a mile or 2 due north on corner of 216th Ave SE and SE 288th St. Got a prepaid SIM card from them and put it into my iPhone 3G, and never got below 2 bars of edge. Couldn't test T-Mobiles 3G coverage since the iPhone doesn't support their 3G frequencies. Once my contact is up with AT&T I'm switching to T-Mobile!

many dropped calls. Phone switches to edge from 3g. Very disappointing as a long time user.

No reception in a quarter mile radius.

As of 5 / 29 / 09 signal if 1 or no bars. On ocassion it will climb briefly to 2-3 bars and then drop back down. Calls drop in most cases. A year back it was fine so it is not known what has happened. In a years worth of calls to Verizon, they finally had a measurement made here. The tech reported that coverage was marginal. This is contrary to what their coverage map shows. They have no plans to make improvements. They do have an in-home extender. They will not provide that and insist it is my obligation to cough up the $250+ for the device. Interesting, that one year ago ATT was very poor but now they are full strength in the area.

T-Mobile reception on the street in front of our house in a minimally useable 2 bars, but inside our house it drops to between 1 bar and completely unuseable. Otherwise, there are a few familiar deadspots (such as driving on Thomas Rd.or at the bottom of the Crest Airpark) but generally the service is satisfactory other than in-house use. I am looking to switch to a service which works at 3 bars or better inside our house for business use.

I only have dropped calls with Verizon when on wierd hilly parts of highways outside the seattle metro area

Recently reception improved in my house - 2 or 3 months ago. Now is acceptable (good, useful). Reception along Covington-Sawyer Rd.is acceptable except a short stretch near 196 Ave. (unsure of exact location) I chose T-Mobile phone service initially because of the tower location. No other provider gave good service at my home. If I were to switch, I might choose Cingular, due to tower locations. However, I would try before buy.

i have never had a dropd call! T-Mobile is great here.

Bad reception, break-up, and static, plus dropped calls. Cell phone to cell phone can be a big challenge hearing the other person.

t-mobile is best this is beacuse unlike Verizon you can call from your house and unlike Cingular T-Mobile has the best service. Also T-Mobile has best pricing and some of the best phones out of all other cellular phone companys.

I have been with Verizon for over 10 years. I use my phone out of my house and after three phone upgrades still I am dropping calls.

The GPRS signal has significantly improved for this area. Though probably still working a bit on 1900, no dropped calls, travel widely between Kent, Federal Way, Auburn, Fife, Milton, Covington, etc.

Verizion is horrible in this area and kent in general. I can't use my cell phone in my own house, and the few days it does work the call gets dropped every 2 minutes. When stay with my friend in the same area the only way I can get my phone to work is by puttin it up agianst a window sill and using a headset. VERIZON SUCKS! not only is there service crappy, they also almost always mess up my phone bill. I have been with verizion for two years now and have decided to switch to T-mobile.

Great T-Mobile coverage all over the east hill.

Dropped calls all the time. My only phone so its very frustrating. Billing has never been a problem. Customer Service is excellent. Just really need to add a Cell Tower in the area. Outside of this area coverage has been excellent.

This phone and the service are horrible. Neat phone if you want a toy. Horrible phone if you want to make phone calls. Can't say much for the Nextel service or customer support either. If you have a choice, don't choose this phone!
