I had a TDMA phone and got good reception, With A GSM phone - nothing. Keep your older phone for this area until upgrades are complete!

No reception from Shingle Gap Rd through Jefferson, or West Jefferson.

Cingular reception is nonexistent in Leland. I teach at North Brunswick High School and cannot make a call or receive a call. The phone will not even ring. I live in Wilmington in 28412 and have to go outside the house to use the cell phone, really pathetic. Happily only a one year contract so in 9 / 05 adios to Cingular.

No reception at all on my Blackberry in the Andrews / Murphy area. No voice, No email. Have Suncom service now, which is really Cingular, which was AT&T. No telling who will own it tomorrow. Service is non-existant with all these providers.

Great reception from SprintPCS throughout Candler, except when I hit Reeve's Cove Rd. 1 bar or less indoors or outdoors.

Phone is useless all the way to Winston Salem

If I go anywhere within 100 yards away from the building, service is OK. It's just in the building and on the grounds that the reception is dead.

The Charlotte St.end of Murdock is totally dead. Well, okay, maybe not quite totally. If you're parked on the street you can hold an in-progress call until another car passes by. Inside the old brick apartment buildings (first floor), forget it. One tenant had to install a land line to supplement his Verizon service. Otherwise, I get great coverage here in Asheville--except that notorious dead zone on Beaverdam.

Reception is non-existant where I work at TIAA-CREF, and random everywhere else around the University area. Some areas in my apartment work great, others suck. Don't even know why I have a cell phone with reception this bad.

No reception in my apartment or the surrounding parking lots, but when I go 500 feet up the street I get full bars. Never could figure it out, had to leave and go with Cingular which is so much better in all ways.
