Verizon
I started with Verizon in Florida and could not get reception inside my house. Moved here and do not seem to have too much a problem. I can get and receive call inside and outside of the house. However, recently I was told that by someone they could not get through. It's a shame a city the size of Charlotte has such terrible phone reception among it carriers. I have been reading all the comments and none of the carriers seem to be outstanding.

I can't believe T-Mobile is rated highest in Charlotte. I have T-Mobile (unfortunately), and where I live (around Kilborne Park on the east side), there is a reception, at most, one bar. I'm talking about being outside. If you're indoor (just in a house for example), forget it, there is absolutely no reception, anywhere in the entire area. It's ridiculous.

This area is marked "Good" on the coverage map but it is not good. Moderate is all we can say. I can't count on my phone to work. I miss calls all the time. I would put up an external antenna if I knew which one to use and how to get the antenna connected to my phone. I need some help.

The data is really slow, I am recieving more and more dropped calls even though it shows good signal. Even sometimes, it takes up to 2-3 hours for the area to allow calls again. Text messages are not going through and data is poor!

In my apt. there is dropped calls,the buffering sucks&can't watch videos,tv on my cell,etc... can't play any games or do anything involving downloading including the internet. I currently have a 3g phone and want to upgrade to a 4g but I feel it'll be a waste of money unless I move away. I'm very disappointed because I chose Verizon based on the dead zone commercial I saw being that I knew my area wasn't the best.

Reception is generally very good outdoors and in smaller buildings in Charlotte. I usually get about 4 bars everywhere in the city. I have also noticed a significant increase of service inside buildings on campus over the past 2 months. 3G speeds run between 2 and 4 Mbps.

Phone is unusable in Mint Hill area near 485. Will try another carrier when I find a good one.

Love my new Sansung Sunburst, but will be returning it tonight. Looks great, takes a good picture, but no reception in my office and drops calls on campus and on the road back to Concord each day. My KRZR works great, so I am digging it out of the drawer and will continue to use it until I can find a GOOD replacement.

Drop calls inside and have to be outside to talk. I've called them but get nothing from them to help, unless I want to get a booster that will cost me more monthly. I'm looking for another carrier and will pay the contract fee. Beware of the 3 / 4 G cards. Overage fees on 3 G are horrific!
