Looks likr the new tower on Rt. 101 is working finally. Signal strength is 5 bars, same as it was when the temporary tower was there.

I have always had great reception in this area of Exeter.

I don't know what issues the other person has but Virgin Mobile works everywhere in my area.

I have T-Mobile and I get perfect reception in Newmarket. It's actually funny to see all of these comments. I had no reception at my girlfriend's house in East Kingston... NONE. She has Verizon so she got reception out there, but when we moved her signal slowly faded away and the signal on my phone got stronger. There's no 3G for T-Mobile in NH but the EDGE network is quick enough for me in the house. If you want / have to stay with your current cell phone provider, add the wi-fi option to your phone plan. Your cell phone will get full service and you can use it as your house phone without using your minutes! Good luck everyone!

Sprint has invested some serious money since the last posting 6 months ago... ..Go with Sprint, the signal is great all over. You just have to make sure you have a dual band phone and you can get signal almost anywhere.

People, every provider has dead spots... when I am at home, my awesome Blackberry Curve 8900 uses my WIFI to give me good reception if service is weaker..same as at a buddy's house in Amesbury(where I get no reception--shame on those people who have no security on their WIFI--they should be happy I am not a thief with a laptop stealing all their info) Driving around this area, I get good coverage with only a dropped call once in awhile,usually in an area with lots of trees hanging over the road---guess what..if you block a signal with trees, the phone won't work..lol I have no problem with T-Mobile whatsoever, and their customer service is the BEST..10 yr customer here--and you people can have your silly Iphones and the like--I'll take my Blackberry any day

Good reception. Able to use my ready link service even in the apartment buildings.

finally a cell provider -Sprint-whose phone works in my home. cingular does not-so now I carry two cell phones-cingular for the road and Sprint for inside bulidings.

We don't have a land line and rely exclusively on our three Sprint / Nextel phones. We have 5 bars in our yard, 4-5 bars in the house and 1-3 bars in our basement. I am happy with that.

I have excel;lent service at home in Haverhill and I travel throughouyt NE MA and NH extensively. Except with one or two really remote locations, I have fine reception everywhere with my 9630 Tour on Sprint.

Generally, I get 2 - 3 bars indoors on Pine St. but can get 5 bars if I am by a window or outdoors. I have had excellent luck with reception. I really haven't noticed many dead spots or had any issues with dropped calls. I travel in the Portsmouth, Stratham, Rye, Durham, Dover, Kittery and South Berwick area.

Never dropped a call in one year of using my Sprint Treo all over newmarket.

Great service all over the Newmarket area (and many other parts of NH)... .no complaints.

The new (Cingular?) cell tower has been approved located just off Rt. 101 near Hampton Beach. My Verizon phone works well (4) on the third floor of my townhouse and sometimes I can get out on the 1st and 2nd floor. No service at all at ground level for at least half mile in either direction on Ocean Blvd. Reception gets better going south but N. Hampton has little or no reception near the beach. Hopefully the new Rt. 101 tower will get everyone to sign on and help the beach.

My reception is horrible. My bars go from 1 to 3 and then it starts roaming then the signal fades and the call is dropped.

Dropped Sprint in 2008, which never worked at home, and switched to AT&T, which at least allows us to complete most calls. We are a mile from the ocean, in Hampton at the border of North Hampton.

Pointing my phone toward the beach area will give me better reception, otherwise I get 1 to 2 bars in my house and around my yard. I miss calls frequently, and text messages and voicemails usually come in 30 mins later.

consistently dropped calls over a period of years on I-495 in Haverhill and Amesbury; dropped calls on High St. near Bresnahan School in Newburyport and on Low St. in Newburyport.

It's iff, but enough to talk with

Just moved here and reception is terrible. Doesn't seem that anyone has good coverage in Newbury.
