I had switched providers because Cingular had the latest phone that I wanted. BIG MISTAKE. I not only had no reception outside of the city but in my own apartment. I needed to call the police once and my phone didnt have any cignal. Thats when I decided to switch back to my previous provider. Completely uncalled for!

i never have issues with us cellular. wherever I travel throughout southern wisconsin. some dead spots here and there, but never in places I spend that much time. highly recommend them for service if you live and commute in madison and around southern wisconsin. I can even get reception all the way up to ladysmith and door county. I spend a lot of time in and around cross plains, and the reception is great.

My g / f lives in the apartments here and gets little to no reception in her room. She's had two different Samsungs as well as a Motorola. Whenever she calls, she either has to sit next to the window or go out into the hallway[close to the building entrance.]

i have alltel,and wish they would get a tower in madison.i go off a Sprint tower.cant go on internet on phone.

I get 4 EVDO Bars and 2 1X. Only issue I have is when I get too drunk and my battery dies at Taco Johns and I try to make a call without realizing my phone is off.

Anywhere near the hospitals in downtown Madison, and some spots on the south side of the campus will result in a weak signal at best. Not only is it a weak signal, but sound quality resembles analog! Most other places the sound is clear as a bell, but downtown sound like talking into a tin can.

Typically hovers between 0 to 1 bar for Cingular coverage; I was told from Cingular repeatedly over the last 2 years of service that they would be adding a tower in Fitchburg, but it still hasn't panned out. Granted the particular phone I'm using really stinks, but most of my neighbors using Verizon also complain, so it may just be our location and not anything service-specific. (Cingular's customer support stinks big time).

My phone does not work in my house and has not for two years. Verizon's service, tech support and reception are all awful and I will not using their service again.

Cingular SUCKS, I regret switching over from US Cellular.

Nothing but problems with Cingular, especially west of Madison on 14. Very spotty coverage in Cross Plains and none beyond that. Quite a few dropped calls also. Exact same coverage map on their website that has been there since 2000, no changes made at all to improve coverage.
