I'm a truck driver by trade, and drive from Birmingham, AL to Brandon, MS everyday, Monday through Friday. I get great reception right up to the west side of Tuscaloosa, AL, and a little beyond, but then my reception degrades to 1 bar... and I cannot receive or initiate a call. When I get into the Brandon, MS area, I have 4 bars of reception... but still can't use the phone! I have a national plan, and hadn't experienced that type of difficulty anywhere else with this plan and with this phone. It's my understanding that Verizon is expanding to Jackson, MS, and should have cells operational there soon, but what about on the interstate as I travel over? I only have a few months left on my contract, and will be switching to a provider that has a good phone and good coverage from Birmingham all the way to Jackson... as well as offering a phone with good quality reception. All that optional crap is nice, but in the end, I just want a phone that works.

SPRINT PCS claims to be the vig player in Mississippi, but their service is less than 6 / 10 of a watt per foot over line of sight! Finally, I had to drop this company, although it will cost me $150.00 to do so, it is called: "CUTTING MY LOSSES"

Nextel coverage dissapears approximately 15 miles south of memphis, TN and is non existent throughout most of Mississippi

We get no reception at all at our home, 5 to 10 miles out of West Point. It is useless to even have it on outside of West Point, all it does is waste battery power. We had the same problem with Cellular South, which is the only reason we switched to Cingular.

it is a hit a miss situation, there is a rv park at 1505 cesar rd and trailers can not get recepition on several carriers. complained to verison to no avail

My husbands cheaper phone receives one to two bars. I have 0.

We need more coverage on the outskirts of Hwy. 49. Reception is fine on 49 and I-10.

I aboslutely hate my coverage and it's not only at my home, I can only pick up coverage on the interestate and occasionally at work (New Orleans).

No one I know of has reception between Oxford and New Albany although there are several towers.

No reception in Water Valley, Mississippi. It is prety much gone from Oxford to WV.
