Have or had all 3 major providers. Sprint gets no signal anywhere near what one would call "close" to here. Have Verizon in car with booster, have to drive about 2 miles to get a signal at the shopping center at 25A and Wading River Manorville Road. Have AT&T on the Treo and get 4 bars in driveway, 0-1 bars inside the house. This is no doubt caused by the aluminum foil facing on the house insulation. Theres a AT&T Tower near the Winebago joint west of Wading River Manorville Rd.on Route 25A which is about 6,200 feet from me. I think the closest Verizon is at Shoreham Power plant site which is about twice as far away. I can pretty much maintain a signal from my house to Port Jeff ferry all along North Country Road. Lose voice contact in one of the dips in the road but usually call doesn't drop and can hear caller again about a half mile later. Get good signal on both east end forks though in Greenport if I cam close enough to water, I will pick up a tower in Connecticut sometimes rather than a Long Island one. No worries, at laast not with free long distance. Can maintain call easily all the way from home to NYC and Albany via Port Jeff ferry (lose it for about 10 minutes on Route 8 on Connecticut / Massachussets border tho). Also lose signal sometimes in desolate locations on Route 17 to Buffalo. Kept Verizon account active in car to take advantage for built in hands free for a year but never did find a spot where I had Verizon signal and no AT&T signal so saw no need for 2 carriers and dropped Verizon service and use BT headset with AT&T while driving.

Service has improved in last 6-12 months,prior to that Verizon was terrible in this part of Hampton Bays. I have a two+year old LG VX3100 not the best but not the worst phone. I work mostly in the city and other parts of long island and service is good.I think the part of H-Bays I live in is just spotty,two years ago I couldn't complete a call,my previous Motorola was the same and I had to use the land line to call and complain to ver.wireless because the cell call would be dropped in 2-3 minutes but on the bright side there's been a vast improvement in reception in the last year 7.5 out of 10 calls now are not interupted. P.S I never changed carriers because I was afraid of going from bad to worse.

verizon wireless and AT&T have the best reception. I never had a problem with Verizon service and I think it is great. only wish it was a GSM network so if I want to use a different phone I just change the sim card.

I expect a major loss of Nextel reception in the summer, because there will be many ads, and more people joining NEXTEL and there is a massive amount of people coming from the City.

Service is not great in this area. Signal will fade about 3 out of 4 times. Have 2 different phones with same service (1 new, 1 two years old). Service from Sprint is horribly inadequate. Many hidden rates. They add services you don't want (and have to pay for) and have to wait to get removed from your plan. Cell coverage was better a year ago. Has deteriorated extraordinarily in the last year.

With newer phone, service is better than my 2-year old phone, but still not great. With newer, signal fades 1 out of 2 or 3 times. With older one, might get service 1 out of 5 or 6 times (full charged battery). Service from Sprint is horribly inadequate. Many hidden rates. They add services you don't want (and have to pay for) and have to wait to get removed from your plan. Cell coverage was better a year ago. Has deteriorated extraordinarily in the last year.

Not that good service. The order in my area from 1 being best is: 1. Verizon, 2. AT&T / Cingular, 3. Nextel, 4. Sprint, 5. T-Mobile.

nextel has the most horrible service I have ever used. I had Verizon for five years with a former job and it was excellent. I am waiting for my contract to be up so my husband and I can get new phones.
