Longtime Verizon customer. Moved to Bend in Sep 06. No local Verizon coverage at that time, but I had spectacular reception, I believe through the US Cellular towers. No data service, but voice was excellent. Unfortunately, on April 15th, 2007, Verizon started offering local service through their own equipment. Since then, I can't reliable use my phone within a mile of the house. I get very good coverage in downtown and near the Old Mill. Spotty coverage on the road to Mt Bachelor. I have tried to work with Verizon tech support to come up with a solution, but was finally told yesterday that they won't be able to provide adequate coverage in those areas. I sometimes see 1 bar at home and on Mt Washington heading south, usually 0 bars. I can't get reliable service near Summit HS, but things start improving near broken top golf course. I'm looking for a better solution. Ironically, since their coverage started on April 15th, I now get EV data coverage at the house, often 2 bars. So I can't make calls, but I could browse the internet. Disappointing!

No reception in Troutdale, Oregon for T-Mobile.

Drops everytime going over the top of Barnes road to Burnside. How do poeple live up there with no cell phone?

My friends have an on-going joke that I never have my phone on. It's true - why bother leaving it on when I can't send or receive calls anyway? Needless to say I will not be renewing my contract.

No service at all in Manzanita. No signal south of Cannon Beach. T-Mobile's web site coverage map shows what should be decent signal strength; their tech support could not explain it.

Unicel has horrible coverage here, and customer serrvice is aweful.

From here to 25th or Baseline no to very low reception

The actual spot I'm talking about is at 22nd and Wilson (close to Murray and Allen). I moved to a new home, and realized that I get horrible reception in my house (zero bars in kitchen and back yard, one bar elsewhere) with T-Mobile - meanwhile, a friend of mine (Cingular) had 4-5 bars in the same spots. Gotta give up my beautiful relationship with Tmobile, and switch to Cingular.

Phone drops calls coming out of the curves on Advance, just prior to the SW Mountain Rd stop sign.

We've had T-Mobile for over a year. Horrible, horrible, horrible reception. Dropped calls. Phones won't ring but go straight to voice mail. Go in a building - no reception. Can't call from inside the house, and when you go outside of the house it may dial but gets dropped. I would honestly say that only 5% of the time that we try to call mobile to mobile while in Bend do our calls ever get through. And for some reason, most of the time my phone says 'emergency only' instead of t-mobile, and I think that has something to do with reception. T-Mobile is a waste of time and money, and very frustrating.
