I live in Chicago, but was told this phone/service would work in all of Wisconsin 2 years ago when I purchased. I lose service on Hwy 45 north of Oshkosh. I still have two hours in my drive and when I get here no service. Still waiting for service.

S. Fish Hatchery Rd. / E. Cheryl Pkwy. intersection, Madison, WI 53711 Sun Aug 15, 2004

Terrible coverage here, and even poorer building penetration.... enough to drain a battery in a matter of hours. I can't imagine that any employee of Berbee finds Verizon usable while at work.

Thompson Dr. / Swanton Dr., U.S. 30, Commercial Dr., Sycamore Dr. intersection, Madison, WI 53704 Sun Aug 15, 2004

I lose my call whenever I drive on Thompson Dr. through this stretch. Guaranteed, every time. I have to drive all the way to East Towne before I pick up a signal again.

Buckeye Rd. / Twilight Tr. intersection, Madison, WI 53716 Sun Aug 15, 2004

Step one foot away from Buckeye Rd. and all reception is virtually lost. This has not been fixed in over 18 months.

35th / Wells intersection, Milwaukee, WI 53208 Thu Aug 12, 2004

This is my second Verizon phone and though I love the service, I can't get any reception in my office building. Neither can one of my employees who has a Sprint phone. The only person that can get a signal is the one with Cingular service.

Oakland, Kenwood, UWM Area, Milwaukee, WI 53211 Wed Aug 11, 2004

Horrible reception. Phone does not work. This is my second sprint phone. They don't let me out of my contract and constantly put my issues off without getting back to me. They say they will "install new software" into my phone. This has never helped. Sprint is by far the worst provider I have ever had.

Johnson St. & Gorham / Midvale Blvd. & University Ave. intersection, Madison, WI 53701 Fri Jul 09, 2004

Major USCC Dead spots! The entire city works had gread reception with USCC except Johnson St., and Gorham, in that neighborhood. Always drops calls while passing through there. Also, when near the Midvale Blvd. south of University Ave., 0 signal strength. I know this because my doctor's office is there. Sometimes the phone will go to analog, and drain your battery. I'm assuming this is because of the NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) hypocrites. Those are the people who complain about cell reception, but don't want cell sites in there neighborhoods.

Don't expect to take your Cingular GSM phone north of Madison, and have it work. Cingular has no native coverage north of Madison, but whatever carrier it is, sucks, I get moderate reception, until about the Dells, then after that, NO service whatsover, until I get to about Eagle Rive / Rhinelander, then Dobson picks up, and get great service with them.

I own a cabin in Eagle River Wisconsin and I was happy that I would be covered. But an hour away from Milwaukee you go under Cingular Extended all the time and never Cingular. So even though there is good coverage, covered by a different carrier, I can't give any credit to Cingular.
