Very poor reception at my house 0-1 bar consistently.

Service throught the whole city is very good since I switched to my new phone. My old phone, moterola v188, got poor coverege. My dad said that some phones from the same network work better or worse due to how many frequinces they carry. Other thinghs people need to take into consideration with cell phones are the weather, call volume, dameged towers, battery strength, if you're hand is on the antenna, or if there is radio interferince. In essence, don't trust ur cell phone for everything, always have a backup plan for comunications.

Never had a problem.

Good coverage, about the same as Cingular, but could be better. But the pre-paid plan is really good and I would recomend over Virgin Mobile, which I use to have but really is bad.

Overall horrible, everywhere you go placing a call really is hard and doesn't always go through. Also in major areas bad service, and in rual areas same thing bad, then I tried Cingular and I get full bars in my house and everywhere, where Sprint couldn't.

Searching system is a common thing to see becuase of the horrible service. Sprint is only ok with a Sprint phone but with Virgin Mobile phones it is even worse. Not having any signal is so common that you won't even want to take your phone with you. So it may look like a good pre-paid option but get Cingular pre-paid much much better.

Virgin Mobile runs off of Sprint's network which is actually pretty good. But the phones that Virgin Mobile offers are terrible my friend with a Sprint phone got 3 out of 4 bars and I got 0 to 1 bars. So there isn't really a way to help it, just wait until Virgin Mobile sells a good phones, or just get a plan with Sprint and get a good phone.

I own a cabin in Eagle River Wisconsin and I was happy that I would be covered. But an hour away from Milwaukee you go under Cingular Extended all the time and never Cingular. So even though there is good coverage, covered by a different carrier, I can't give any credit to Cingular.

I am from New Berlin but recently I have taken a trip to the Dells. It is a very busy place, but horrible reception. I kept going from Cingular Extend with ok sreception to Cingular with just 1 to 2 bars. And a half of mile out from the Dells absoutly no reception anywhere. I am pretty shure that it is under coverage though, so Cingular did a horrible job in that area.

Everywhere I go I get a signal where Sprint and U.S. Cellular couldn't. Also outstanding call clarity.
