pretty decent... as long as you have a tri-mode handset.

Sometimes I get 5 bars, sometimes I get no bars, but Verizon gets, by far, the best reception in Mt. Vernon. Usually I get 2-3 bars.

Great coverage everywhere I've been in or around Cedar Rapids. Traveled south to Keokuk county and had great coverage. Traveled north to Mitchell county and had great coverage.

Signal shows full bars, but will get disconnected 3-5 times in a row. Tried on my older analog / digital phone and my wife's 1 year old all digital Samsung phone.

Outside get 2 bars. Indoor, get 1... maybe. Reps from Cingular say that despite the fact that they are putting in a major infrastruture upgrade in the state, they have no plans in my area. Said it wasn't populated enought to worry about. Out of 5 services available in the area, Cingular is the only one with problems. So much for customer service. I really wish they'd quit with the false advertising about their "great" coverage.

I've been with Verizon for almost 5 years now. The coverage has been good enough that I dropped my land-line service more than 3 years ago. This is also my third [different] phone. I've found that the choice of phones makes a major difference in the quality of the reception.

Virgin Mobile works when I am at my house. I live about 8-10 miles away from I-380. When I am at my house I get about 1-2 bars of service. When I go into town it says searching for signal. Virgin Mobile only works in large Metropoliton areas.

My hometown of Cedar Rapids, Iowa has better service on Verizon Wireless than Springfield, MA which is where I live Now. If traveing, dial *228 and select option 2 before you travel. The problem is Verizon Wireless is good in some citties and terrible in others. So when choosing a wireless provider, check this website for reviews on areas in which you live and travel.
