Along 65th / 356th, Tacoma, WA 98422 Tue Nov 16, 2010

Use to have AT and T had to hang out of my bedroom window. Have had Virgin for several years, always perfect inside and out. Never a reception problem as a matter of fact forgot about reception issues until came across this site. I does drop if driving I-5 past Boeing Airport, but other than that I'd give it 5 stars.

I travel the entire Pierce County area on a dailey basis calling on clients and have never had a call drop or reached a dead area. !00% reliability. I don't know why there are different results with some of the other comments I have read. Could it be the type of phone being used? Totally satisfied.

Cingular must have put more towers up because I consistantly get 4-6 bars in my house now. I used to have to lean over my desk to talk and even that was iffy. Once in awhile, I'll be in a dead spot and get static, but it's much better now than in the past. Service is good when I am out and about too. I just upgraded to an LG CG225 and hope the coverage is as good.

Works good outside or inside if my head is next to a window. Lots of cutting out and dropped calls inside. Going with some one else. I had Verizon but their Bluetooth implementation is immasculated. It did work in my house though.

I was so used to not being able to talk on my phone in the upstairs of my home with Verizon that I am still delighted to be able to do so with Cingular. Coverage all over the Northeast Tacoma area is far superior to Verizon. The only weak spot I've found is on Browns Point Blvd.near 33rd where I have lost a call twice, though not every time I go through there.
