From the Troy city limits driving south on 87 and on to 331 south to 85 s going to crestview there is almost no reception at all. Some service with roaming in opp area

I have tried multiple phones, and carriers. Cingular, Nextel / Sprint, Southern link, Verizon. Poor to no service in this area and all the companies give you the run around. Bottom line, cell companies want your money! They all give you the run around, when they switched from the old analog with few frequencies, to digital with more they got greedy, quality and service took a back seat and seperating you from your money took priority! If they're lips are moving, its a lie! They make used car salesmen look like saints!

People all around are using Cingular but my Verizon never works at my work. My husband works in Huntsville and his Verizon phone drops calls all the time. Verizon customer service is no help at all, just keep reminding us that there is a $175 disconnect fee if we choose to terminate service, never mind that we can't even use our phones at work.

Most of highway 165 from 431 through Fort Mitchell is completely dead. There is no reception except on a few hilltops. My wife has a Verizon phone and gets moderate coverage in these same areas.

No reception at all in Silver Lakes Subdivision.

lim rock community on hwy 35 has virtually no reception

No signal in downrown Talladega. No signal from Talladega to Vincent via Logan Martin Dam. Spotty signal in downtown Vincent. Spotty signal along County 83.

Occasionally we get reception, but only until we move 1 millimeter. High Point Mtn apparently blocks Verizon signal, which tower I assume is on Monte Sano. Had no luck with T Mobile or Sprint here, and Cingular got bad before we switched 2 yrs ago to Verizon. Totally dissatisfied with all of them. May go naked for awhile (i.e. no cell phone).

T-Mobile has run out of local numbers in the Prattville / Montgomery area! NO IDEA how they could be so stupid (it really should not come as a surprise that you can only fit 9999 phone numbers into a given prefix) but they've done it. You literally have to wait for someone to move or die in order to get a local number.

Nextel=Absolutely Horrible
