Verizon is dead all around my houseand town. Have to drive at least 6-7 miles to get service. Can't waite to end contract, but have another year. Tried different phones from Verizon and none work, and other neighbores have different companies and none work.

Just moved here and nearly was driven out of the City by Verizon. I was their loyal customer in Colorado for many years, and tried to maintain my loyalty here by working through numerous problems with them. Three weeks into my service and atleast 80% of my calls drop all over the City. Have absoloutely no reception in my neighborhood. Most frustrating has been their horrible customer service. Each time I went instore to try to get some answers, I was handed a card and rudely told to call tech service. Each time I called tech service, they informed me I'd need to go to the store. I sat in the store and called tech service three different times. Each time I called I got a new person, who doesn't know the history of what I've been through, and who has a new "idea" of what may fix my problem. This has become a part-time job for me... calling them, re-explaining my problems, going to the store, testing they're solutions, getting no help. It is BEYOND ridiculous. OH, and when tech support says they'll call you back for a follow-up call... trust me, they won't. Or maybe they will and chances are you don't have a signal.

The call always drops in this area...

No reception at all once you get of I-88

Cingular has no reception along SR 116 more than about 5 miles west of Peoria.

U.S. Cellular is terrible I cant call in side my hose cause I will lose reception and when I am with my friends I compare what theres is and its so much better than mine. Except I get full bars inside the Chicago Heights movie theater.

I have had Cingular for years and never had a problem until I just changed jobs and am working off of Route 177 between Okawville and New Minden. My phone has 5 bars while in my purse, but the minute I take it out there is nothing. I called Cingular to no avail, they said there is no service in that area. There is nothing they can do.

T-Mobile does not work inside State Farm Corporate South premises (esp the building at the South)

I am a former AT&T, now Cingular user. I have been with thjem for 6 years, you can't say I have not tried! While at work, my phone gets into "Emergency Only" mode, and often times the only way to get out of it when I leave, is to shut it off and restart. Around town and everywhere else, my strngth signal will be at 1 bar then osilate to 6 bars, all within a few seconds. The amount of dropped calls and warbled calls are astronomical... . I'm switching to US Cellular. Based on most of the reviews on this website, the number 1 SUCK company is Cingular / AT&T. Also, it seems, from the reviews, GSM is still not anywhere close to speed with coverage. Yes, you may get the fancy phones and good phone prices with Cingular and T-Mobile, if you're willing to sacrifice the service. Today I am switching to US Cellular and I will post another reivew tolet you all know if it is better. One can only hope...

No reception at all...
