I show 4 bars on my phone, but when I dial, I get no tone, then after about 35 seconds, American roaming network asks for a credit card # to make a call. Verizon says I need to dial *228 to program the phone in this area, but there are no towers that will allow me to make the *228 call go through, catch 22, and no cell phone. Thanks a lot Verizon...

I am lucky if I get a signal in my home and almost like clockwork I will drop the call if I am lucky enough to talk while at home. Sprint is the worst cell phone company every!

do you think good reception will ever reach more than 3 miles from major roads

sprint phone works here if Nextel and Sprint are partners why does the Nextel phone not work

I cannot get any reception. If someone calls in, they get a recording saying it is not a working area. It will not even allow my voice mail to pick up.

I also was told I needed a new phone to get better coverage. It has been worse not better. Where I could get occasional coverage in remote areas I now get none. My brother has US cellular out of Tulsa and gets good coverage in Red Oak. I have on coverage at all with Cingular.

Cross Telephone just added a tower North of Quinton (about 1 / 4 mile), Cingular opted not to allow their customers access this tower. I found all of this information out by talking to Cross Technical people.

No reception at all... even outside the house.

I've had my Cingular phone for about 2 yrs, and I hate it, I don't get any service where I live. I have to go 18 miles to Stigler to even get some bars, or all the way down hwy 31 to McAlester. It's crazy. They are putting up a tower in my town, I hope it is one that will work for me... hope so only got two months left on my contract, if I don't get any bars by then, then bye bye cingular... ...

Cingular service has drop greatly in the past 60 days in southern payne county. The reason is that the tower located on 33 highway and brushcreek road has been sold to Alltell COmm out of LIttle Rock Ark. If you are sitting in any building along Hwy. 33 east or West Bound their is 95 percent chance of no coverage on voice calls. THeir (so call Customer Service states their is little tower coverage in perkins area and no plans to improve coverage( their words spotty) in this area. Whatever wireless provider that you have be certain that that they provide coverage in your area of mobile service. All wireless companies should have a tower every 5 miles to handle calls with ease. All wireless companies in the United States are uncaring and unprofessional. If they are state in their sales Lit, they provide service and they do not, then they are a Fruad and deserve to go Broke!
