When I lived in AZ, Verizon was EXCELLENT. But upon moving to Redmond, Verizon is terrible. Luckily I get reception in my apartment, but that's about the only place. The phone usually says "searching", has no reception, and the battery dies very quickly while in this searching mode. Redmond is the technology center of the universe, and I can't even get my phone to work.

The signal strength hits 2 on a good day otherwise I lose reception frequently. It causes the battery drains out quickly.

- all bars - no dropped calls - 3g reception

Horrid reception on Education Hill. Barely usable outside and often unusable indoors. Seems to have gotten worse following the fierce December 2006 windstorm. I am tempted at add a repeater and a high gain YAGI.

Pretty much always have five bars, can go lower during peak times though. Have had some spotty reception infrequently but no dropped calls from my end.

AT&T has no coverage in Microsoft Campus, buildings 16-17-18 despite official coverage map says it has "Best coverage". It's annoying as hell.

This Siemens is for dolts and when there is one, the Cingular signal here (Sixty-01 Condos) is ALWAYS spotty. Called service 2 wks ago, was told they can see why the signal is poor but had no recommendations. No matter what I asked (would aother model be better, where is the nearest cell site) all responses were "that's proprietary information". Will be a long time before I consider an iPhone in this neighborhood.

I have great reception here with T-Mobile. My reception never fails.

0 Bars. Sometimes rings, but never able to talk. Runs battery down very quickly. My phone is completely unusable at work and I will switch to a better network as soon as contract is up.

No reception. Just drains my phone battery.
