Switched from Sprint and AT&T. Verizon has a great network here. I would always get drop calls with Sprint and AT&T. The 3G service is very fast too.

9 out of 10 calls will be dropped. My wife's phone does the same thing. Inside or outside of the house

every now and then it gets a bit tinny, but I would chalk that up to the phone's hardware before the coverage. No drops, no unable to call, no missed calls, no mystery voice mails.

Varies all over the place; move 10 feet and signal drops from 5 bars to 1. Even worse, it's random. Sometimes it's fine, others not so much. Had zero problems with Verizon and a cheap LG phone before this.

Reception outage before OSU / USC game on Sept 12,2009. According to ATT reps on site at a large sales booth that ATT had there, the cell system was overloaded. Some non-smartphones were able to make call. No service at all for 3-4 hours on the iPhone. I felt bad for ATT sales reps at their booth there near the St. John's arena. Pretty hard to sell a phone when your reception is out. By the way, they did offer me an ID lanyard or cheap backpack instead!

Within 25' of the house there is a variance of 0 to 4 bars. The Samsung Beat - SGH-T539 has everything but decent reception. It seems Samsung lost track of the primary reason for a cell phone. They haven't done T-Mobile any favors with this unit.

AT&T is the only carrier I get solid reception with in this area of Columbus. I actually have yet to see my Iphone go below five bars or lose the 3g signal that many others have complained about. If you live in the OTE area of Columbus, AT&T is the most reliable service you can have there!

AT&T is the only network that holds a strong signal in my residence. I struggled with Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile, even when making calls outside. I can walk through my entire residence including the basement without any fading of my signal. When I used Sprint, I had to stand by a window and not move the phone to keep 2 bars. Verizon would not drop as often, but calls would fade in and out. T-Mobile would only work on my 3rd floor. I'm not sure why this is such a dead zone area, since there are towers everywhere within a mile radius of my residence. I was told the trees block the signals, but AT&T seems to penetrate them.
