AT&T
No reception at the house (1 / 4 mile from road), sometimes reception is ok at the road, calls do drop though. Dead zones throughout Ridgeway and on the way to Eden on 87.

I won't have anything but a Nokia, and you won't either if you want signal. I'm in the Snow Creek area of Franklin Co., and we aren't supposed to have service out here, it's not offered. But I have signal! It's got its moments but it works for us on our farm.

Have been with Sprint and US Cellular--several dropped calls in this area. Alltel has been close to perfect in the areas I travel.

Have constant dropped calls inside and outside of our house. We are in a dead zone. US Cellular finally admitted that our problem cannot be fixed and are letting us out of our contract. Now trying to decide if cell phone service is even available here by any carrier!

Sprint's service in Danville is mediocre at best and poor to zilch in many parts of Pittsylvania County. Try making a call at the Food Lion on 41 about 4 miles from the city limits. I live at one of the highest points in the county and have no bars inside my house.. One outside, IF I am lucky. Verizon and Alltell have much better coverage. I have a friend who lives at the at a point much lower than where I live within 2 miles are my house and he gets 4-5 bars with Verizon.

Have wireless air card for computer and cell phone with Alltel. Fair service on cell phone, but poor performance with wireless air card. Trying to find cell phone repeater that will work in the area with the wireless card. Generally in this region from South Boston to the Parkway, from the Greensboro to Boones Mill, I have service. Only in one or two areas around Arratt and Woolwine have I been with o service.

Very poor reception, no bars at all, the best you can hope for is a txt msg. However, once you get out of this "dead-zone" and closer to yancyville / danville areas the signal strenght is greatly improved. Had Alltel last year and dropped calls / no signal was common once you ventured to far from Danville towards the Martinsville area.

NO reception inside, dicey outside. Many miles of no reception once east of Danville until almost to Richmond on 360---bad safety on road.

Bars of reception vary from 0 to 5... Even with 3 / 4 bars I do experience dropped calls -- often. I do think the actual phone has a lot to do with it all, but considering the phone I have now... I thought for sure the reception would be a lot better. Back in the day when I 1st got the Moto. Startak I didn't miss / lose any calls... (same location / s), but this V3 / my Alltel service does pick up great in the city / s. As far as outside of the city (from Danville to Yanceyville -- hwy 86) - tis usually a 50 / 50 shot...
