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...

Signal drops dead almost the second you cross lee going west on Howard. Spotty coverage all the way to Mt. Prospect rd. Verizon opened a ticket and claims it is my phone, claims this phone is imcompatible with the network now, and unfortuantely is out of warranty, so I will have to pay $50 to replace it with a new one that may or may not work in the same area. I asked why this is the first time I have heard about it when I have been complaining since last summer. I fianlly "escalated" it to a supervisor who agreed to a replacement.

I get no reception in downtown Glen Ellyn with T-Mobile

I had T-Mobile and the phone worked great-switched to Cingular for a better plan (big joke) and the service sucks. Calls are dropped,no reception, no bars, call failed error messages, etc. Can't wait to get rid of cingular!

Cingular should close its business in Chicago. Too many complaints from every user I know.
