the intersection of atlantic avenue and henry is a dead zone. reception is spotty on the rest of atlantic ave up to court street. it's too bad because I get good reception elsewhere in cobble hill / brooklyn heights.

Terrible reception -- comes in and out with the weather. Supposedly "fixed" but not

cingular pay as you go has no service but everyone with Cingular montly get service I wonder why that is

Very poor. Cingular gives 4 Bars on the same phone in the same apartment.

Parts of East Quogue are a dead spot for Nextel. No reception going East until close to Hampton Bays

I've had excellent reception with Verizon Wireless everywhere I have been along the Eastern Coast. Unfortunately it seems that if you happen to live on water facing the Long Island Sound, especially in the Belle Terre / Port Jefferson area, there is a dead spot. Everyone with Verizon service has had the same results when visiting: their cell phone indicates all bars for service and no roaming. However, no one can connect for service, their cell phone battery dies within 2 hours and heats up. Most likely from the phone trying to connect to a signal. With no bars I would expect that, but everyone gets full bars. By the way, my friends with Sprint have the same trouble as well while over. Very aggravating since every guest with Cingular and T-Mobile can connect without a problem (even in the middle of Pirate's Cove out in Belle Terre). After going 100 yards south, Verizon service is good again.

Just purchased a family plan and four phones from Cingular based on their claim of the best coverage in the area. My neighborhood is in a dead zone. When I called the dealer who sold me the phone he checked his detailed map and confirmed indeed I live in a dead zone. Wish he checked that before I signed up. They said I could cancel without penalty. Now I'm searching for a plan where my kids can actually reach me at home in an emergency. Sprint / Nextel seems worth checking based on comments I've read here.

Zero reception from T-Mobile on Columbia Heights (next to the Promenade). Some customer support reps claim tower issues and that "it's being worked on" but I wouldn't trust that...

Horrible area coverage, I know cingular, verizon, T-Mobile get no cell phone reception in my apartment complex. None of my friends get reception. I have to stand on my balcony on the second floor to even recieve 1 bar. Somone please build a cell-tower in the Guilderland slingelands border area! :)

Inside buildings I get spotty to no reception. Outside my office I only get two bars and the cell tower is no more than 200 yards from the parking lot! I am not amused!
