Almost always 0 or 1 bar near MSFT Main Campus as well as Millenium.

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.

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.

One bar, generally I can get a call through, but I don't get voicemail or text messages reliably. Sometimes it takes hours. Sometimes the phone doesn't ring, and I just get the voicemail. I'm very unhappy with Verizon service in Redmond.

Bad coverage, but most of the times I can walk around and get a signal. Eventually.

My phone rings but I'm not able to answer it. I have to drive all the way out to 40th before I get 1 bar.

I usually get O.K. reception, sometimes it drops out randomly on me though.

Anyone know when Verizon Wireless is going to turn on their towers near Redmond Ridge? I know the just recently completed construction of their new switching facility behind the park on Redmond Ridge Drive, they have a temporary tower there. I'm hoping it's just a matter of time.

Every time I use my cell phone from home, it drops calls. I'm told that Verizon service in this area is the very worst. I can never complete a call without having it dropped.

Phone goes in and out of reception. Drops calls constantly. Verizon customer service assures me new tower south of me (Union Hill Rd) should be up and running soon. Congular gets good reception here.

Drops in the backroom of the store. I read a review saying this phone was good in the Crossroads mall, but it has dropped for me, and has absolutely no service in the areas inside Top Foods a block north of that mall. Also drops often in my house, across the street from the mall. With only 1-2 bars of service.

Poor conditions 80%. 20% All bars. Either the network is flaky or my phone...

Consistently terrible connection both at home on Education Hill and my office on Union near Target. Verizon was great when I was closer to Seattle but is terrible in Redmond.

Just this minute, I'm in top (3rd) floor of one of the brick Microsoft buildings on 148th. But generally I find that Verizon reception is very good anywhere in the general area near the Microsoft campus.

The reception isn't bad west or south of here on Union Hill, but it stinks at my intersection. North of here (in Redmond Ridge) is below average, and east of here along Union Hill Road it gets worse and worse. Experience with AT&T was the same.

I get great reception almost everywhere I go: Puget Sound, Redmond, Seattle, etc.
