my home is located in a rural area of south bamberg, sc. my reception is terrible. there is a tower within 2 miles of my home but it apparently is not verizon. I've had Verizon for more than 5 years. I would change carriers but I find Verizon to be good while traveling and at my out of town work place (I live away from bamberg for work). I also have a pc card but cannot use the internet while at the bamberg location. I really need better. I would do away with my landline if my wireless service was better.

I recently went up to buy property. I went from Bamberg to Blackville to Barnwell to Aiken. With the exception of a brief moment in Aiken, I had ZERO reception the entire time I was there! Nextel blows. I am switching to Alltel when I finally move up there. They seem to have the only reliable service coast to coast!

I get no reception halfway between Bishopville and Bethune.Verizon's coverage map shows coverage and upon calling them,they say its my phone.This is the fourth phone to do this,which rules that out.Cingular coverage is great.This area just needs a tower!

Heard new tower is being located near Hwy. 6 and Rocks Pond Rd.in Eutawville. Is this so?

This is just a dead spot for some reason. Contacted Alltel; they gave a few options to try to reset the phones, but it still doesn't work.

No reception, even with high gain external antenna mounted on rooftop -- which makes me wonder if the tower at 1117 Back Swamp Rd. is actually operational.

I just started not getting my calls, and it is only during part of the day. Verizon saids its may be because they are working on the towers during the day but they really have no idea because they get the tower from Alltel and my parents have that and theres works just fine.

No reception

Was told Verizon shut down their analog tower(s) in this area - suspect in anticipation of the Feb 2009 date where all broadcast signals have to be digital.

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