Court St. Near Noble Hospital and Library / Rt. 20, Westfield Shops Area intersection, Westfield, MA 01085 Thu Aug 09, 2007

Since starting work in Westfield, I cannot receive or make calls in this area. Calls are being dropped all of a sudden for the past month. Very frustrating. I don't know if it was because I changed my phone from a Nokia to a RIM blackberry or commuting to that part of Westfield every day. I lived in Westfield for a time with my Nokia phone and had no trouble. Now I drive there from Agawam and have connection problems. Not happy about this and want to change providers and possibly go back to a Nokia phone.

Gardiner State Park / Rt. 112 and US20 intersection, Westfield, MA 01085 Sun Apr 23, 2006

Area of Huntingdon near Knightville Dam and Gardiner State Park eastward to Route 20 near Russell State Police barracks. No cell phone service (using T-Mobil ToGo).. but screensaver 'ghost' remains - so some minimal reception but insufficient for transmission and full reception. Cell-phone transmission& reception is full and normal on approach west of Russell State Police barracks on US 20 just east of Huntingdon-Russell line.

Rt 143 / Rt 112 intersection, Worthington, MA 01098 Thu Dec 29, 2005

Little or no reception in Worthington. The area is hilly so even where some other providers have a little coverage, it is very spotty. When going east, not get good reception until the center of Williamsburg.

Inverness Lane, Longmeadow, MA 01106 Mon Jun 06, 2011

I've always had instances of spotty reception and service in parts of Longmeadow, but ever since the Tornados, absolutely no reception in / around my house. Ironically, my son lives in Longmeadow and is much closer to the Springfield border than I am and he is not having any issues with his iPhone or his wife's. Traveling 10 miles away yesterday in Feeding Hills, reception ranged from 1 bar to 4 bars to Searching and then No Service. Service is on and off and on the apple web site they said it might be a bad "sim" card inside the phone.

Wilbraham / Tinkham, Springfield, MA 01129 Fri Dec 19, 2008

No reception. Even visitors, using all cell phone services say the same thing..no service or very poor. The tower at 16 Acres Center is useless. We must be UNDER the radio waves!

Phone Model:
PN-300 VZ/Pantech
East Housatonic St. / Rt. 8 intersection, Dalton, MA 01226 Tue Jun 29, 2010

The map shows coverage, although it does show a giant white spot to the west. We are solidly in the "red zone" and yet the phone is constantly searching for signal. If you don't shut it down, you'll find a dead battery in the morning. We're using two different phones, although they are both the VZ / Pantech PN 300, a three year old design. Looking at the coverage maps for the "big four" it appears that AT&T is far and away the best for coverage. I'd hate to get one and find out it still won't work. Our main residence is on LI, NY where coverage is never an issue with any carriers, at least wherever we need it to be. We have been on VZ since 94 and for the most part haven't had any issues with reception, except in the Berkshires, including as far south as Lakeville CT, just below the border of MA. However that problem is another specific location, not an entire area. The VZ coverage in the Dalton / Pittsfield region is spotty for quite a large sized piece of real estate, much of which is a shopping center region. Quite annoying to say the least.
