This is very frustrating. I've been visiting here yearly for 12 years. Every year - no coverage along Bay Ave. No coverage at Cape Henlopen. I'm surprised VZW has failed to cover this area with a tower. AT&T is crystal-clear and solid.

I lived here for several months and would get a signal, but when I would try to make a call I would just get a fast busy signal and my phone would read call failed. Never had luck with incomming calls either. Everyone that visited with Verizon had the same problem.

Heres a suggestion. Turn the phone off here and don't bother with dialing anybody. Won't work till you find civilization again. Only thing that works out in these parts is at&t.

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.

When driving from Wilmington to Hockessin on Rt. 48, starting at the bottom of the hill at Hercules Rd., the reception fades to nothing by the time you get to the top of the hill at Wilmington Road. I've reached the point where I warn the person I'm talking to in advance that the call will most likely be lost and I will have to call them back.

Zero reception for the last 5 days. Noticed that reception starting decreasing a week or two before, spotty, with bars fluctuating from 1-3, then 0 bars. Have discussed with AT&T customer service (using my land line!) and have been to an AT&T store twice. Each time they re-set the phone, I have service in the store and by the time I drive home my phone loses all reception. Phones have been checked out by AT&T, sim cards changed twice, powered off and on several times. My husband has the identical problem with his phone. No signal in Trolley Square, no signal in Maryland. Once our bars go down to zero we can't seem to get service back without going to an AT&T store for a temporary fix. We never had a problem when we were with Cingular. Since AT&T has taken over our service has declined. And worse, no one at AT&T can solve the problem or give us a reason for continued poor and / or totally missing service.

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

never been able to use the phone at my house.

For years there has been varing levels of service, mostly no service. However after a number of phone calls to tech support service is restored (three bars), however after a lighting storm then there is a total failure of the system, 0 bars) for months.
