Barrocliff seems to be a pocket where AT&T and at least Sprint fail miserably. A couple friends with Verizon seem to be able to pick up a signal in my house, while we have no service at all. On AT&T I can pick up 2 bars in the attic, but that's hit or miss also.

Only a few places in the house we can get reception. Everyone in the neighborhood keep complaining to ATT. Verizon is fine in the area. (Although spotty around the lake at the very bottom of the valley).

You will drop a call EVERY TIME once you get into the neighborhood. My parents also have Cingular and live in this neighborhood and have this exact same problem.

Nextel service in the "Bermuda Triangle" area formed by the US-421 / I-40 / I-77 is terrible at best.As soon as my contract is up I will be switching to something make that anything else.

I will discontinue Cingular service once contract filled. NOTHING is being done about lack of service near my residence!

Dead zone in this area. Calls usually dropped. Also, numerous occasions of not receiving voice messages until days after message was left. Will find out when another message comes in. When you check voicemail, you find the old message.

Little reception in remote areas. And, frequent phone drops in Charlotte, NC, where I travel for business. Stay away from Nextel if you are looking for service. Not willing to help with anything - even during an emergency!

Can not get any recpetion at my home. Is it the phone or is it a lack of a tower.

I have not been able to pickup a Cingular tower for at least a month. Cingular started charging me for Roaming as well as Inbound Peak. I am on free inbound and have been for more than 5 years. It's not cheap but I have not switched because inbound was 24 / 7 free. Now I can't use my phone at all. Cingular has NO service and NO customer service here as far as I can tell.

Lived in Aspen Park for many years, generally get good service when driving around town and very strong signals in Raleigh. Commute to Greensboro daily and there are a few deadspots on 40E to Greensboro. Anyway, cannot keep a signal in second story condo to save my life, stepping outside doesn't necessarily help. Girlfriend is going to kill me after all the missed and dropped calls. Tempted to try SunCom, sounds like W-S may be one of their last strong cities. No carrier rules in W-S. I've had several roommates with different service and the only one that had me beat was a SunCom customer, but that was 4 years ago when they had a better reputation.
