Layton / Howard intersection, Milwaukee, WI 53235 Fri Jul 15, 2005

Worst. Phone service. Ever. I purchased a phone and they told me, because I moved from Chicago to Milwaukee, that I could still keep my old ZIP in Chicago. However, the phone did not work in my home. It worked everywhere else pretty much, but not at home. They then told me, after I asked to get out of the contract because I was unable to use the phone, that in many cases the phone does not work if you keep a number from antoehr city. I had also purchased a phone for my mom still in Chicago. I was paying for two phones monthly but not using mine at all. Their rep told me the phones don't have to work and service is not guaranteed. I was astonished. After tiring of their "lines" I cancelled the service at a whopping cost of $300. I felt I'd be better off without the aggravation and, for a year of bills without usage I may have lost a little more by cancelling but not much. I will never use US Cellular again. Their customer service is not service at all--they appear to be desperate for contracts and their people seem to read scripts regardless of the circumstances presented to them. I was a customer for 10 years. I will never be a customer of theirs agains.

3G Android phone. VMobile uses Sprint Network - keeps dropping calls inside my home. Mostly 1 or 0 bars. Also problems with VMail delays. Is getting WORSE.

Travel up hwy 43 and from Sheboygan to GreenBay and if you have a 1 hour call you'll drop that call at least 3-4 times. It's horrible. Called them and nada! Switching to Sprint and iPhone 4s. Half the cost and at least same service level.

Sprint works in a lot of beloit, but around the college and downtown, don't expect to see any service. Sprint CSR says this is a 'known service hole' and has no plans to fix it.

We get either no signal at all or an occasional one bar, but it usually doesn't last during a call. The nearest tower is all the way in Cross Plains. We even added a larger outdoor antenna, but it really doesn't make much difference. So basically our cell phones are useless at home.

Blanchardville, Blanchardville, WI 53516 Sun Apr 10, 2005

I purchased this particular plan from Cingular because my wife is pregnant and I wanted to make sure she could reach me if something happens when I am at work. We recently purchased land in Blanchardville to move a house on, when we were plotting the house out, we had no signal, but five miles down the road we started receiveing signal, so I had to cancel the plan and continue to look for a plan that would work for us

Hwy. K, Blue Mounds, Mazo, Blue Mounds, WI 53517 Sun Oct 09, 2005

Switched to Cingular from US Cellular when I lived near Madison and had great reception. Moved out here to Blue Mounds and have had absolutely no reception. Why isn't US Cellular GSM?!?! I love my phone but it's completely worthless here.

Hwy. 12 Between Fort Atkinson and Whitewater, Cambridge, WI 53523 Sat Apr 07, 2007

Going to Whitewater on Hwy. 12 starting just past the armory until getting to Business 12 has NO service. UNTIL, you turn around and go the other way... ..then there's service the whole way. Apparently one side of the road has a tower and not the other?

Hwy. 12 Between Cambridge and Fort Atkinson, Cambridge, WI 53523 Sat Apr 07, 2007

No reception starting just past the Town of Oakland through to just before Hwy. 26 in Fort Atkinson. Unacceptable. This is a heavily traveled road!
