T-Mobile
Love T-mobile's coverage in lynchburg. It has gotten significantly better in the year I've lived here. T-Mobile usually drags its feet on rolling out 3G coverage, but the lone wolf in this case is AT&T. Upgrading next week and I'm sticking with T-Mobile because of their 3G coverage maps. Looks good!

Wow. AT&T coverage is terrible in this area. I was so excited to use my new phone when I was in Richmond and the service was great, then I moved to Monroe VA for school and now my dreams are shattered! THANKS A LOT AT&T!

I would suggest getting Verizon. I get 3-5 bars in my boyfriend's apt. I havent had any problems with Verizon in this area. Ive been to Charlottesville, va and my phone has roamed but I got reception no matter what. Just couldnt open up Pix messages or videos but could text.

This entire afluent community gets barely one bar of service. There are a few hundred students and teachers alone who'd switch to AT&T if the service would improve. I've been looking into repeaters for at least one dorm... The signal is inexcusible and is a saftey hazard.

Zero or One Bar. The phone hardly rings but if it does and you pick up the call, you will get cut off from the other party who is calling you. I noticed the reception for AT and T has gone from bad to worse in several spots of Lynchburg, Campbell County, Forest and Bedford.

All around Lynchburg I have perfect service. Even at LU when I am inside I have pretty decent service accept for in the heart of North Campus which is where I will be lucky if I get 1 bar. For LU students, SPRINT is definitely the best service there is!

I am concerned about my signal once Verizon takes over Alltel next week. I heard there is no tower in Lynchburg and the reception is horrible. Will they use Alltel's towers to give customers the same reception? My contract is up and I am considering changing carriers.

I have nTelos (Sprint Tower) and the map shows perfect covereage at my address, however I get 1 bar or 0 bars and drop 9 out of 10 calls. Useless.

Outside the reception is not bad. It is when you go indoors mostly. I get absolutely no connection at work (Liberty University). It's odd to think that a University of 10,000+ students doesn't have an AT&T tower nearby. There is also two other colleges in the area. When I'm at home I have a signal 90% of the time. When it gets cloudy I sometimes have problems. I wish AT&T would realize that they are loosing a steady stream of customers and would install a tower to remedy it. Every year, about 3-5,000 freshman come in. Kids with iPhones trade them in because they do not get any reception in the dorms or the main academic building. Most freshman with AT&T turn to Verizon and that includes whole familys if they're on a family plan.

I am exceedingly happy with Sprint's coverage in and around Lynchburg. There are a couple of dead zones between Forest and Bedford on 221 (my daily commute) but I can plan around it. Around Lynchburg and in my Wyndhurst basement, I have been very happy with Sprint. My only complaint with Sprint is the phones: the offers are not great. There aren't many fun options (No I-PHONE for you!)... But functionally, Sprint is your #1 choice in Lynchburg!
