Cingular / Suncom / T-Mobile (AkA GSM) reception is terrible / non existent between Kinston and Maysville along Hwy. 58. This a major beach route so I know there are a lot of folks cursing Cingular's network as the come through here.

The reception is typically pretty good. However, whenever I travel south of Ardrey Kell I lose the call. I also lose reception on the eastern side of the I-485 loop.

No reception at Kings Creek Elementary school and 1 to 1.5 miles both ways. Other than that, good reception between Lenoir and Wilkesboro.

If you're inside Walmart, forget about receiving your calls. In the front part of the store, you may pick up one bar, maybe.

Cell service is horrible, I can't get voicemail, make or receive calls.

Had a great plan two years ago, but didn't do me much good cause I have to leave my house and walk up the road before I get any reception. No one can call me at home cause I get no service. My Bell South Service often goes out and I have to leave my home to call them, but they can't call me and this causes many problems. Next time I seek a service I'll do my research.

Sprint SUCKS in Raeford, who's heard of Analog roam in this day and age... .. Trying to find another provider with at least better coverage, or even some.

I work on N. Elm St. and get no reception where I work, it's a dead zone. On my way home, I eventually get 1-2 bars near the intersection with Pisgah Church but then no reception on Pisgah Church Rd. until I get near Cingular's call center at Lawndale. Then the service is 100%--wonder why? LOL. So basically you have to work for Cingular to get any reception around here. We're stuck in a 2 year contract, switched to Cingular when we moved back to NC. I wish they had T-Mobile around here, we had them when we lived in AL and never had a single problem or dropped call the entire 3 years we were with them. We only had problems when we were traveling to visit family in NC and our phones roamed on Cingular's network. Then, nothing worked right! And Cingular says they have the least dropped calls of any wireless network? HA.

no reception or signal if stranded in that area I'm in big trouble

Throughout "The Bays" in Columbus County, there is little to NO reception -- even though Alltel claims excellent signal strength in this area. Stop the LIES Alltel!
