We have no reception at our house but if you travel 3 blocks in either direction it works fine. Need a Verizon tower closer!

Just upgraded my 3G Verizon phone to this 4G model. Very intermittent 4G service here. Unsatisfactory! Taking my new Verizon 4G phone back. 4G doesn't work in my house.

Reception seems to have worsened at home over the past four years. We still have home phone service via IP provider because the cell coverage is almost nonexistent. Reception is at least okay in most of the Olympia area.

Reception is horrible. Iused to get at least 1 bar with blackberry none with HTC incredible. Bought Verizon network extender no that isn't working

Mostly good reception all over Puget Sound region. In my trade I travel often all over the area. Reception drops in predictable areas but overall is very usable.

Very poor receiption throughout campus area, including major road leading to campus

I get decent reception outside. Although sometimes it can come and go. My wife is able to talk in the house with her Palm Treo.

Frequent dropped calls. Broken conversations at best.

Can't get in your house or outside. In a Verizon "Dead Zone"

Rarely able to make a call from anywhere in our area, never seen more than 1 bar. Texts come sometimes, occasionally a ring or two. Never been able to complete a conversation.

I can't use my cell phone in my house (south of Black Lake) because the calls drop almost instantly. Or, sometimes if I'm really lucky I have a 2ft radius that I can move around and talk. I don't know if it's just Verizon or other carriers in that area as well. Outside of my house, anywhere else, I have no problems. Just the Black Lake area I suppose.

This new development will have over 1000 homes... nearest tower is at I5

Almost no reception in house, poor reception if you walk out into the driveway. Very poor to no reception inside of St. Peter Hosp.

Lived here 8 years and have been told by Verzion numerous times that they are getting a cell site soon to serve this area. I get cell service from Vashon Island barley when the weather is right.

Most of the time no reception. Dead area seems to be from just outside Priest Point Park, down 36th Ave NE and back through Libby Rd.towards St. Peters Hospital.

Problems with dropped calls at home... but other carriers no signal at all on any of my friend's cell phones. SW end of Black Lake seems to be a black hole for cell phones.

I get decent service out at my home near Capital Forest beyond the Mima Mounds (still actually Olympia) with Verizon, also decent service ranging from the ocean to Seattle, a few dropped calls. On the way to Portland I-5 about 8 miles of no service, or is roaming on US Cellular. My old Kyocera 2035 seemed to drop fewer calls but was too big in size. The only other service that seemed to work for me out here was AT&T. I haven't tried T-Mobile.

It is such a hole in this area, want an extension antenia. so many served in this area I can not understand why they are not building one? I would offer up my yard to put it in!

Whoops. I did this comment earlier, but made a mistake. This is what I ment to say. I was looking at the comments for Verizon around this area and was getting tired of all the bad comments. I get Great Reception in this area. There is only 2 places where I (DON"T)get coverage and they take 2 min. to drive through. I had Att, now cingular. They said they had coverage here. Don't think so!

Only a few dropped calls around this area. Coverage is great. Much better then my old Sprint, and Att(Cingular).

Great coverage on my LG flip-phone in downtown Olympia.

Excuse me, but Sprint's bills are a mess. I fought with them for months over improper billing and no, it wasnt because I dont know how to read a bill. I gave up Sprint for Verizon and I'm very very happy with it. Only a couple of areas on I-5 do I ever have trouble, and no problems ever with my bill.

I have to walk down the road to get a signal even though Verizon says a tower is 2 miles from my home. I live on a hilltop and can't get a signal at my home. Verizons attitiude is "too bad". I'm going back to AT&T.

MAybe it's my cheapy phone but I can hardly get service inside the bars, and my calls are donstantly dropped. Verizon sucks.
