Had decent reception with my 3G HTC Incredible 2, but it got damaged, ASSURION didn't have one in stock so "upgraded" me to 4G HTC Thunderbolt -- Ever since, I have lousy reception, 0 to 2 bars intermittent,. don't even try it in the basement, 4G goes on and off.. drops calls constantly, everyone hears static, etc. etc.. So I call Verizon, spent 20 minutes on phone and ended with a "ticket" opened and "have a nice day." Been with Verizon forever, but the lousy reception with 4G may be the last straw..

I have never had any problems with calls dropping / not getting signal on my Verizon phone.

AT&T service is terrible. The signal simply won't penetrate through walls into a building. I had cellcom but wanted a better phone than they offer. Now I have an awesome phone but can't make calls on it because I am constantly dropping them or losing signal. Going to try Alltel next, they are becoming Verizon in a few months and I've heard good things about their network.

I was going to upgrade my LG200 to a Samsung A737 but when I got home with the Samsung I had one bar or no service all over my house. I took it back and am sticking with the LG it gets 2 to 3 bars in my place and full bars on corner of 4th and Main.

On a good day (and there aren't many) we can get 2 bars but almost always just 1. Not uncommon to have calls dropped in mid conversation.

Well glad to have found this ratings board. We don't have Alltel but I had to select something. Don't know why they don't list einstien on here. We've had (einstien) for over 3 years now, 3 phones and are in the process of changing carriers. Yes we get dropped calls, yes the coverage area lacks, big time, but its affordable comparied to the other ones we've been looking at. OUr main phone has 1000 min. with unlimited text and web added, we also have 2 phones with 200 min. no additions. Monthly bill is $70.00 for the 3 phones. No nights or weekends. Happy with them for the most part but have found numerous areas where we lose connection around Depere and GB and across the state. Not sure where to go from here.

No ryme or reason here! Depends on the moods of the Gods. In my house you have to raise your left leg and stick your tounge on the window to get two bars if your lucky! I moved here from Orlando and kept Nextel. I would not recomend Nextel for NorthEast wisconsin. Stay with your local carriers. Good thing I am getting out of this god foresaken state and going back home! Good luck!

Phone less than 2-weeks old. Signal strength depletes to 0 bars. Will not connect. Conveniently happens after "free nights" start. Get full-strength from work-phone (US Cellular). Sending phone back, going to a different carrier. Stay away. Waited 5 days for phone and was told coverage was not going to be an issue. Raising the Bar slogan should be changed to hopefully Raising another tower.

I am constantly getting calls dropped..no calls..poor reception..try talking to a Verizon customer service person and be on hold for ever..customer service is horrible... will NOT continue contract..

Cingular claims that this is a medium coverage area. I get NO reception in or near this area. Can receive 1 out of every 10 calls and can make even fewer. Cingular states that they do not know when the coverage will get better. Also dropping calls on Ashland, near 172 and any place from Nicolet RD and 54 / 57 all the way up A. This is if you can receive the call at all!
