MidTown Tunnel / 36th St. intersection, New York, NY 10016
Fri Jul 11, 2008
Both with Sprint and Verizon, I cannot hold a call going thur the Queens-Midtown Tunnel (esp into Manhattan). No Signal mid-way thru. Conversely, I can talk with Sprint all the way thru both Holland and Lincoln Tunnels.
When I started working at W 86th and West end ave 3 weeks ago I had like 2 bars and could send and receive calls. Now there is no service within a block of the apartment, sometimes more. I called T mobile and they filed the complaint, but I don't get cell service, so I am not a happy customer. Have to use the client's phone to coordinate the work and my workers get 3 bars to full power (sprint and cingular). sucks.
Absolutely zero indoor reception (including main floor, upper floors, next to windows), not even enough to receive a text message. I frequently have to walk half a block from my building to get even a single bar of service. Standing outside doesn't help either.

No reception always trying to roam very frustrating. Drops calls switching from Sprint to roam. Sprint is horrible to deal with lies about coverage and bait and switch sales tactict to get you to upgrade.
Lockport Rd. / Main St. intersection, Youngstown, NY 14174

I can't get any reception at home and the service doesn't even pick up Rogers in Canada, unless I am on main street and than I have to pay roaming fees. A tower needs to be put in the center of town, or at least close by. I know people who have Verizon service and never have a problem.
Brandywine Dr. / Settlers Lane intersection, East Setauket, NY 11733

I used to have excellent reception in this area, but 4 weeks ago it evaporated. T-mobile's tech support was bad and they could not fix the problem or even update on the status. So, I am switching to another provider.

Today, 06 / 21 / 08, I talked to an AT&T person at the local AT&T store this morning and he said that he has received several complaints of Cell Phones not working. Also said a Cell Tower was down, but should be up and working within a couple days. How long should it take to get service back up and running? No service since 06 / 02 / 08.
State Hwy. 37 / Between Ogdensburg and Morristown, 13664 intersection, Morristown, NY 13664
Sun Jun 15, 2008
Right now I get NO reception between Ogdensburg, NY 13669 and Morristown, NY 13664, in the area of Ivy Ridge. Cannot make or receive calls. My own personal phone worked before, got a new phone for my mother and now No signal for either of them in that area. The new tower mentioned on Feb. 11, 2008 must be out of service. Sent an email to Verizon, but NO replies as yet. Doupt I'll get one.
The reception here is aweful.... .there is none. We have been promised for the last 5 years that we willl get a cell phone tower... . As for the phone... ..it is a really bad model... I highly dont suggest it... I have to replace it and it is only 6 months old.

No bars nor reception around Rushford Lake. However on a good day, you can go out to the middle of the lake on the boat and get reception. Nothing on shore.
