I'm on the north slope of the hill that runs up toward Happy Valley. Cell service is rarely bad here - I think there's been one tower outage nearby in about 5 years.

Almost NO reception for phoning and poor for txts. We were promised a new cell tower in the vicinity by 3 / 12. Then we were told it would 't be till 10 / 11. So now we are waiting to hear before we jump ship for Verizon.

The network extenders I have in my home improve their service by about 25%. Gone from over 100 dropped calls a month to about 25 -28. Even the new 3 -g extender has to be forced to connect with the phone... #22804 hang-up then call #48, to force connection with the Network extender. Verizon is much more concerned with densely populated area than any rural area... .. It's called the bottom line. They toss the bones out only so they can say hey have service in the area... .. Service means being able to make or receive an occasional phone call and having a intermittent digital connection. All I can say is I am glad I did not pay for the network extenders they have sent me... ... I would be even more dissatisfied. Don't pay for them.

Most often I get three bars inside my home, however reception is improved if I step outside while talking. My phone seldom drops a call but it does seem that I am getting a "network busy" message far than in the past. Overall, very happy with ATT.

We live in the Gardiner area, appr a mile east of Wild Birds Unlimited between Port Townsend and Sequim. We used to have great service with Verizon but they did something with their tower, redirected the signal or something and our service is absolutely AWFUL! Almost every call drops and we have a hard time completing any calls. We have contacted Verizon numerous times regaridng this problem and quite frankly they don't seem to give a"hoot". In fact they can't even seem to locate us correctly and when they do a trouble ticket they always get the wrong address. When I call them about it they never call me back. Very Poor customer service, just don't seem too care. There are a lot of people living in the Gardiner-Diamond Point area, why don't they try to improve their service out here? I've been told it will be 2013 before the 4G service will be available to all areas like Gardiner. We think Verizon is just letting their service deteriorate something terrible. We would NEVER recommend Verizon.

Decent coverage but I do get dropped calls at the Clallam Co. / Jefferson County line right at Diamond Pt. and Hwy. 101. I also drop calls going around Morse Creek. Other than that I've had good luck with Verizon. I'm looking at the iPhone and of course would have to switch to AT&T / Cingular... snyone have any other info re the Sequim area???

Just a bad area. Coverage is better in town, on 101, and other select areas.

While up for my fathers funeral relatives all over the country. My husband's blackberry and Nextel were the only ones that got reception at my parents house near Gardiner Beach road. Checked bill, no canadian roaming fees which we worried about.

We were with Sprint and then changed to Cingular thinking we would be able to find a carrier that would provide us with service. We were mistaken as we still do not have any reception. NO Bars do we have at our home. Perhaps it is because we are behind the hill which has an airstrip higher than our home which could be blocking our signal. If we walk up the hill we can obtain a signal but that is not convenient. Would an antenna on top of the house help ?

Reception is sporatic, but usually two bars at best. Most calls last 90 seconds before 'signal lost' shows up and you are disconnected.
