Inside my apartment I get zilch for reception. If I go outside, I may get 1 bar, or I may not. If I go to CG Walmart I get 4 bars, and even inside Ray's Market I get 5 bars, but here at home or close by or anywhere west there's absolutely nothing. My daughter has a Cricket too and hers is the same here when she's here, even though it's a different model. I do NOT recomment Cricket if you live around Cottage Grove.

I hope that Cingular will be able to get reception out here soon. I feel unsafe with the fact of no reception. What if you have an emergency and your stuck without reception.

Problem seems to have little concern with those at Cingular that I have spoken with. They continue to state that it may be the phone and not their service area. I ask why the tower of US Celular that is less than one mile from me is not recognized by Cingular or its Motorola phone even under the Roam feature and all they can say is they do not know why???? I sometimes wonder if customer service is in fact a polite way for Verizon and Cingular to say bend over Mr. Customer...

No reception in or near Paulina. I'm unimpressed with Nextel's rural coverage in Oregon. I previously had AT&T and it was much better.

We got stuck in our car on top of the Plains Hill on HWY 26 going toward Portland, on Warm Springs Indian Reservation.. Lost signal as soon as we left Madras, Oregon and began or desent on Hwy. 26 to Warm Spring Indian Reservation. We try everything to get a signal, nothing suck for 4 hours out there in the dark in our car. Virgin Mobile is not good for that area.

There is no reception along Tyee road.

Every time I drive through this area the call drops - but I have full service.

Once you are South of Reed Market Rd, there is no service at all.

Brought my son down to the College campus during summer orientation and the phone worked fine on the campus and even in the dorms, so we got the 'family plan' so he could have one at school. When we took him to start the school year, I don't know what had changed, but the phones were totally inoperable near the campus. Complained to T-Mobile, and they would 'check on it' - but a year later there is no difference... so we're stuck with a phone that is totally useless 99% of the time. Also, whenever I call to talk to customer service from my home in Prineville, the call-center mishandles my call and drops it. The last time was three different people, including a supervisor. In the middle of a conversation, they would say something like "Hold on, let me check on something... " and the 'click', followed by dead air, and after a few seconds, nothing. If they can't even keep their call-center phones on line, you know it's bad!

Drops in many places throughout Mountain Park. So very annoying, I'm switching, any suggestions from Mountain Park Residents please? Please post your suggestion, thanks.
