Some times five. Calls dropped late evening. My phone tells me to wait while it finds customer? Called AT&T. Could not tell me why my phone not listed as a 3G or even Edge. Whish Apple would choose another carrier.

I've never once dropped a call, in my own home, in basements, in bars, or anywhere else my friends phones / providers have dropped calls. Even when I take camping trips in the middle of nowhere I get calls (good thing for US Cellular, bad thing for my peaceful camping trip!). The only drawback to the service is the fact that its a little more pricey than most plans. Emphasis on the word little, however.

No reception. Could not use my phone on 10 / 4 / 2009 and could not use my wireless 3G air card. No reception at all. Had to physically get in my car and drive 5 miles away from downtown central before either would work.

I've been happy with my Sprint reception and prices. Their customer service is absolutely terrible though, but I just push through that in order to have a plan that is about 2 / 3 the price of any other carrier. I don't know about the outskirts of Milwaukee or the surrounding areas much, but downtown I almost never lose reception

I use my phone all over the milwaukee / waukesha area and the only times I've had reception problems are in 2 of my friends houses where nobody gets reception. But even there I usually get 2 bars.

Outside, great reception. Inside, nothing. Customer service is always great, and for two phones on a family plan, including internet, I always pay under $100 a month.

Inside my house right in Riverwest is kinda spotty, inside the building at work up on the Northwest side is non-existant, but other than that I almost never find myself without enough reception to talk, text, and surf the net.

Been with Verizon forever, only carrier I've ever been with. Customer service is outstanding if I ever need it. I drive all over, never a dropped call or signal issue. Had 3 different phones and same results. Verizon ROCKS! My daughter had Sprint, waited on the line until she got one of the VP's offices to tell them what she thought, they were't very happy. Now she's a Verizon convert

When I try and make a call it takes a while for it to go through or drops it completely. I can hardly hear what people are saying and they can't hear what I'm saying. I should say that this usually happens when I'm in the apartment.

I used to get reception on my razr---but only a bar or two. My fiance gets decent reception on his smartphone, and I can't get a single bar on my new one. Going back to the store tomorrow.

Coverage has been quite good; very few dead spots unless I'm in a below-ground business or something similar.

Horrible reception at home in the middle of Milwaukee! Number of bars constantly change. the only place I am guaranteed reception is on the second floor.

I can't make any calls inside my building. When I do get through, I can barely here a thing and it drops my call after a few seconds.

Its common to get only 1 bar or no bars in my home. Can only use my phone on 1st or 2nd floor. The basement is impossible. Often the phone rings and when I go to pick it up the call is gone. The ironic part is that in every other city in which I travel my reception is good to excellent. I will have to be hard on Verizon though. In my view, they need to change their slogan. It's definitely not America's Most Reliable Network if you live in Milwaukee.

Tired of trying to make call with AT&T and getting "circuits busy, try again later" this happens all the time to me and I'm in a big city. I've called numerous times to complain - after all my cell was purchased for emergency calls - no good if I can't even get the call out! AT&T was never like this in the past, I too started out with AT&T which inturn was Cingular and now back to AT&T. I can't get satisfaction with this group - looking elsewhere for a dependable service.
