Sometimes I get a call, but the conversation is spotty and garbled and often drops. I'm at the top of the sylvan hill, right next door to the Sunset Highway, on West Slope Drive. DEAD SPOT!

There is no reception using Cingular or US Cellular on Hwy. 97 milepost 11 - Hwy. 97 milepost 40. If you do get cell service it sucks. No towers in Sherman County. Hwy. 97 is highly used and on company has even looked at it yet. Moro and Grass Vally have no reception. Maybe someday.

This phone can lose a signal if sitting in the same location. In my home office (split level) when I'm in my basement corner office I only get reception about 50% of the time. When I do get reception it's low quality. There is a dead spot on Wilson Ave. No reception inside concrete buildings, Lloyd Center lower level and mid level.

Verizon is great in Pdx but have you tried driving or Amtrak to Seattle? It goes roaming or dead from Longview to Centralia (about 2 hours). When I am onthe train, I see other people using T-Mobile and other services making calls without problems. Verizon should fix this since this is a major "commute" in the region.

Worst I have tried out here

Almost no cell phone reception for any company here! This isn't the middle of the woods. The phone will usually ring and then as soon as I answer, the call fails.

Worked OK for last 11 months since I got the phone. Sometime between Dec 1st and 15th, dropped to 2 bars on the phone until you hit SEND, where you get none and phone tells you the call failed. After hitting END, phone display changes from "Cingular" to "No Service" or "Emergency Only". When I called, they sent me a replacement phone, which behaved exactly the same way -- it clearly isn't the phone, but the service. Maybe Verizon is right: its the network.

I have had AT&T now Cingular service for 4 years. Service was good before but has deteriated to almost no service. I have a family plan with three phones. I renewed my contract about a year ago and service has gotten worse and worse. I call the service department and they only want to sell me a new longer contract. I keep my side of the contract up by paying my bill in full and on time. Is there anyway to make a cell phone company hold up there side of the contract by providing the service they agreeded to in the contract. I lose service all over the city. Even at 30th and Sandy. My wife and I joke when we get dropped three of four times on my way home from work that Cingular has decided that 'family time must be up". I seldom turn on my phone at home this way I do not have to charge it as often and do not have to pay for wasted electricity for a service that does not work. I have asked to get out of my contract or for Cingular to provide the service I pay for and they say they do not have to provide the service (event the level I had when I signed the contract and could have gotten out of it by day 14, but it worked then and now it doesn't?) but I do have to pay and there is no way to get out of it. I have not moved and it is not the phone. I have 3 and they work in some places but not others so I know it is the coverage. I am willing to pay for service but I do not think it is accually unreasonable to have it work, at least most of the time. I have been told that the cancellation fee is to pay for the phones. If they are so valuable I will gladly give them back? I understand they need to have customers stay on their service to make a profit but black mail is not the way to do it. Good customer service would work much better. I work for a cable company that does not have contracts and you can cancel anytime you want and we seldom have customers leave because of crappy sevice. I wish Cingular could do the same. I have spent countless hours with their customer service and made many many trips to their stores and service continues to deteriate. Do cell phone companies have any accountability at all? With such poor service a cancellation fee of $525 is completly unreasonable.

There is NO RECEPTION in South Morrow County. US CELL needs to put a tower on Black Mountain south of Heppner. It would provide a lot better coverage for all of Morrow Co and a lot of the western part of Umatilla Co.

No Reception in IONE at all.
