Yeah... about this... Bring a friend with T-Mobile or Cingular with you since you get NO SERVICE WHATSOEVER here. The moment you pull in, "Searching for Service... " Not too good if your alone or driving back there in the night. You may get lucky and pick up service if your standing out by the beach, but its often roaming with Cape May, so it'll take a while to connect. And when you leave, reset your phone. I've gotten all the way up to the Ferry Terminal and still get no service unless I do a manual reset. Might be going with another company soon.

The reception rating is different. You may have 3-4 bars appear on your phone, but the moment you touch the phone and start to talk, forget it. Reception is very bad here, takes forever to find a signal, and I have the newest razr! Such a pity. Once my contract is up, I'm going to AT&T.

Clayton Delaney Rd.- 200 Yds East of MD-DE Line / Waecker Rd. intersection, Clayton, DE 19938 Thu Sep 21, 2006

No bars at our house. Walk 100 feet east and we can sometimes get 1 bar, and maybe have the ability to make a call

Rt. 896 / Main St. intersection, Newark, DE 19711 Mon Nov 08, 2004

There are no cell towers in Newark! I was told this by Nextel and Verizon, and Verizon said they were working on the problem. That was 11 months ago and nothing has changed! Once you get into Newark, it's like you've gone into a radio-free tunnel -- no cell, no push-to-talk, nothing. If one of the cellular providers came to Newark and put up a tower and advertised it, they would be flooded with nearly every person in newark who owns a cell phone. I wouldn't mind paying to break my contract if this happened because right now I can only use my phone if I am NOT in Newark!

Naamans Rd. / Concord Pike (US 202) intersection, Wilmington, DE 19810 Sun Apr 30, 2006

This on Naamans Rd roughly from Kirkwood Fitness to Brandywine Town Centre. A caller was trying to reach me and couldn't get through. (No call indication came through at all on my end.) Caller managed to get through to someone who was with me who used Cingular. The call faded in and out, but never lost the signal. I was driving, so I don't no know how many bars of reception there were on my phone, but I'm assuming none since my phone never rang when I was being called.
