No reception in northern parts of Loudonville NY. I'm so glad the do-gooders stopped them from building us a cell tower behind a church. They get reception just fine over there. It's good when ownership of property entitles them to pressure the neighbors out of doing as they please with their own property. And to those people, who thought property values would be effected, you live in dumpy houses anyways, what's it matter if you lose a little nothing. -Tom

NO RECEPTION?! WHAT?! I CANT BELIEVE IM PAYING THIS MUCH FOR NO RECEPTION!

I just got a virgin moble phone last night it was great. It has all the options I wanted. Then this morning came I went to two different stores the phone does not work inside either of them then went to my friends house to show them the internet no bars inside there house. If you live in Rome, ny 13440 do not buy this or any phone from Virgin they say they have coverage in 13440 but they do not I drove all around the city today and at 1st it was working but only 1 or 2 bars most of the time then as I went inside of places nothing no bars at all. then I drove in west Rome near walmart and lowes and the signal was off and on. I went in to walmart and lowes no reception at all. Its to bad this was a great phone and a great price but until Virgin mobile changes to Verizon towers instead of The horriable "sprint network" dont buy this plan it doesn't work.

wrong zip code on last post, not sure about East Aurora. Virgin Mobile is USELESS in and around Marilla and Elma NY

Phone Useless in and around Marilla and Elma NY.

Absolutely horrible reception! I've had the same problem for 7 years with verizon. The most I can do is text and half of the time they don't go through. Incoming and outgoing calls are impossible with 0-1 bars, most of the time no bars at all. What's really frustrating is not even a missed call will show up, the only time I find out if I missed a call is if the person calling decides to leave a voicemail. Verizon customer service is useless, saying it's not their fault because it must be the "build" of my house. They should have made it verbally clear that there is a 100% chance I may not get any reception in my own house. The least they can do is give the complaining customers a discount on that ridiculously priced extender satellite. Why should I pay 250 dollars so they can do false advertising and claim they have the leading carrier networking service? I'm canceling my service asap. 7 years, i've had enough.

I understand a tower has been erected but when will it be operational?

A tower was erected a few years ago, but we still do not have service in Sparrow Bush or Cahoonzie in the area where the Peenpack Trail intersects with Route 42. This is a safety issue, especially in the winter time when roads are treacherous. There are no companies with cell phone service in this area. The first company that provides service will be swamped with subscribers. Everyone in this area would jump at a chance to have cell phone service at home! Note to cell phone companies: please consider expanding in this area!

Can anybody tell me if the 4s is any better in mid-town. I noticed that it claims to use two anttenas for better receptions -is that true? I HATE at&t

I have AT&T, live next to the museum of natural history and yet... ... .yet, I cannot get a single bar of AT&T service in my very own apartment. We all know AT&T stinks for cell coverage in NYC, but one would think being located virtually next to one of the largest NYC tourist attractions, I might have a little bit of coverage. Nope. On a good day, you can find my husband and I waving our hands / phones in the air in 1 of 2 very precise spots within our apartment that once in a while, will actually transmit a text message. I don't understand how AT&T is getting away with this! I'm certainly far from a legal expert but isn't a contract a binding agreement that BOTH parties hold their end of the bargain? How is it that I am unable to terminate my contract when the other end is not fulfilling their end of the agreement??? To make matters worse, I pay a substantial amount of money to have this "phone service" each month yet I have to take private and / or professional calls in public on city streets and parks because I can't make a call in my own home? I once had to take a job interview via phone in a starbucks and was mortified when the baby next to me began screaming... ..I ducked into the restroom. The day my contract expires I am chucking my iPhone into the center of the street to watch MAC trucks smash over it all day long. I'm told it will cost over $200 to end my contract with AT&T, despite the fact I can't make or receive a single phone call outside of a public place. Unreal.
