I wish I could think of some choice comments for how bad my cell phone reception is. My contract with Verizon will expire 9 / 4 / 06. Hallaluyah! I can't even get reception in the middle of Walmart, Lowes, restaurants, etc. (all within a stone's throw of I-85) My phone reads "no service". Verizon customer service is a joke. I live about 5 miles out in the country. I can get static there, especially if I put the phone in the kitchen window. I am going to try Alltell, there's no way they can be worse. My advice, don't use Verizon! I let you know later about Alltell.

I get absolutely no reception at my home. I have to walk outside to the road to get even one bar and then it's in and out service. Service is fine while in Columbia. I absolutely loathe Verizon Wireless, they are crooks from the executives down to the csr's. The customer service is rude and uneducated. Swithced to SunCom and LOVE it.

I used to have wonderful reception out here, but yesterday all the bars have disappeared and I can't make or get a phone call.

I can use it in downtown Lugoff in front of Piggly Wiggly... very poor. I can use it in downtown Camden... very spotty

Don't go to the lake with nextel. No coverage at all. Cingular is good, Alltel is fair and Nextel dosen't exist.

Occasionally, I can go to the highest point in the yard and get poor, crackly reception. But usually, I can't use the cell phone there.

I have had Verizon for years and there signal strength has been getting worst. I have dropped calls on Hwy. 26 driving into town, I work at Nucor and my signal is aweful with this phone. My old Nokia phonehad a better antennae.

Phone goes in and out from no bars Verizon to switch to extended network. Sprint has a tower on the island, but the Verizon signal is strong enogh to keep the roaming to switch to usable extended network, but not strong enough to make or receive a call. If the phone could be set to receive the extended network signal while on the island the phone would work great. But as is the phone is almost useless on Fripp and St. Helena islands. Verizon technical support said outdoor use only in zip code 29920, but it doesn't work any better outside.

I switch from Alltel to verizon,still no reception.i will try Cingular next.

T-Mobile stinks. The reception is HORRIBLE! I have to go outside to send or receive, and then I only have one bar. I constantly drop calls or they person on the other end just slowly drifts off into oblivion. The service reps are rude and unresponsive. I have called to complain about the reception or ask for assistance, of course the call was dropped and I was not called back, so if I called them back I was forced to re-state my problem. My contract is up the first of next month and I am returning to Alltel and a Nokia.
