I want to dislike Qwest's service. Their phone selection is very limited and they seem like a wannabe service. But I've got to say, I never have a problem getting an adequate signal anywhere in Seattle. I can't remember the last time I had a dropped call. Now, ask me about Qwest service between Olympia and anywhere on the Washington Coast, and I'll tell you it's lousy, really horrible. ATT seems to be the best out there.

Very erradict. Sometimes acceptable. Ok mid-day (low signal competition), challenging in the evenings. 0 signal in north facing day light basement. Friends with Verizon have no issues.

Verizon sucks. No rececption. Missed calls. Dropped calls. We couldn't stand it and got out.. they charged us for terminating the contract early. No wonder why they had the commercials "Can you hear me now?" - we constantly said that everytime we talked on the phone. Verizon sucks! Switched to T-mobile... .the reception is better but still poor.

No cellphone reception indoors. Outdoors will be 1-2 bars. Terrible reception on campus, the University of Washington. Seems like ATT and Verizon get the best reception here. I get many dropped calls and undelivered text messages.

The reception is actually 5 bars in my area 90% of the time, but it is not "perfect." Never have had a dropped call with this provider / model combo in this neighborhood. If only sprint's billing services weren't so bad...

Very poor reception with any Verizon phone in Madrona. Lots of my neighbors are moving to T-Mobile. I get nothing in my house but my neighbor down the street with T-Mobile comes over and has 5 bars

Dropped calls and overall shoddy reception across campus.

I live two blocks from the lake. I have perfect reception always in our area. Calls never drop - I wouldn't use any other service. I use my cell exclusively at my home - reception is perfect even sitting in my bedroom. My boyfriend has Qwest and his calls drop all the time - it drives him crazy!

Good reception. Even in a basement in this area. T-Mobile has trouble in alot of other locations (huge dead spots in / near downtown), but the best carrier for this location.

I've been with Sprint for seven years and never had any major problems... .until I moved. I have no reception in my basement apt. none in the backyard or side yard. I can make calls in my front yard... ..( in my car)... ..but, even then I risk many droped calls. switching very soon. tried a friends phone who has cingular / at&t and all bars were up everywhere. I am off to try t-mobile.
