Poor reception in the morning, afternoo and evening phone keeps changing from 1 bar to 0 bars, thus dropping an call you may be lucky to get enough to get connected. Entire city of Madison very spotty for reception

Travel from Chicago to Green Lake quite often. Had a startac that received calls anywhere. Have a razr now and get no receipion. The companies have been saying for years that they are going to put up more towers but that is just BS. Get no signal til about a mile west of Ripon. I'm thinking about getting a pay as you go phone from a Wisc. Company for the time being. Can't trust the major companies, they lie or they just don't know.

No reception with Cingular in Arkdale or in Adams Friendship. Didn't get any reception till Wisconsin Dells.

Just switched calling plan yesterday to get GSM and newer phone for the features. I though GSM would get better reception. WRONG! My old TDMA phone at least somewhat worked in this marginal reception area. This GSM phone does not work at all until I drive 5 miles to the ferry, or drive to the Baraboo side of Devil's Lake, or south to Prairie du Sac. Getting rid of this GSM phone, and will probably look for a new service as well. ATT Wireless has been ok, even through the Cingular buyout, but they want to push the GSM, which does not work as well in fringe areas where I live and visit.

From roughtly Verona to Platteville on US-151 there is absolutely no Sprint reception, not even roaming. This is very inconvenient, as it is a major divided highway.

cellular one worthless in this area

No reception with Virgin Mobile in Big Flats or Friendship area. Have to go to the Dells or Wisconsin rapids.

No reception South of Bayfield.

We have had CellularOne for a couple of years. We live in Hayward, Wisconsin. Once you leave the city limits there is no reception for 20 miles. One of the nice things about the cell phone is it is portable. I have been told that we should invest in a booster antenna for the car to get better reception away from home. How mobile is that in the woods, on the lake, in the cabin or just outside? There is a must need for a tower in the Springbrook area. All of the Verizon, T-Mobile, Cingular and Nextel customers coming from major cities all have reception in this area, but nobody offers these services in this area. It makes no sense.

I can't get any hookup until I get into Hayward, further south down hiway 63. Even then it is only 2 bars. Very inconvenient. A buddy with Verizon gets spotty reception and tons of dropped calls. I am going to install an antenna amplifier just for this area. We will see if it helps.
