27th and Grandview, Tacoma, WA 98466 Fri Nov 03, 2006

At UP Primary school there is no reception in the buildings and poor reception on the upper soccer field. Likewise there is extremely poor reception anywhere on the Curtis Junior High or High School campuses along 40th west of Bridgeport. Both problems are related to a hill shadow in western University Place and is very frustrating for parents such as myself. Elsewhere, my Verizon reception is excellent anywhere in the greater Tacoma area.

O.K. reception up on Bridgeport, but down the slope to Grandview in the "cell shadow" there is no reception indoors, maybe 1 bar outside the apt.

It's the darndest thing-after one year of perfect service with very few dropped calls, for the past 3 weeks I am unable to have a decent conversation for more than 30 seconds from my apt and from an area of 2 mile radius where I live without the call being lost. The tech guys couldn't find a thing wrong with the service. Getting a new phone didn't help either. I am miserable!

Qwest was perfect in Tacoma to and from Tukwila along I-5, then we moved to Fife and have horrible service..dropped calls continually. Seems like after reading all the comments, Fife is bad for every carrier. We had Cingular prior and cancelled our contract (yes, we paid early termination fees) because they were absolutely the worst in the Tukwila to Tacoma commute. Dropped calls constantly. Frusterating. Seems like there should be some sort of law against keeping us in contract even when the service they provide is sub-par.

I work at the South Hill Mall, and live off Canyon Road. My cell phone reception does pretty well in the Lakewood area (where I go to College) and does just okay in the Mall where I work. But at home, forget it. I get about one bar throughout most of Tacoma / Parkland / Puyallup. I work in Bellevue alot, and I get five bars up there all the time, no matter what. If you don't like losing your call, don't get T-Mobile in Tacoma.

Great Sprint service, my work phone. Verizon drops calls all the time switiches from one bar to none then to extended network, if I could force it to use Sprint towers then it would be great, or just put an antenna on the police tower.

Great reception! Great Customer Service! I get calls in buildings that others have to exit in order to get reception.
