US Cellular
US Cellular claim to have a tower in the area 103rd and Lawndale. It seems that it works well outside my property only until we get inside is there many problems. I have a National Plan which allows me to roam and while using Sprints network I have 5 bars inside my home!

Great Reception and great access to all high speed services. Only occasional fades, but not lost calls around train station.

This phone and carrier sucks big time. Absolutely no reception. My dropped calls has reached infinity.

Cingular service has been excellent in all areas that I have observed. All service provided in my local area is GSM. I originally was given the Nokia 6340i by Cingular to insure that I had complete TDMA and GSM service when travelling in rural areas.

I've had my cell with Verizon for nearly two years now and never had a problem with dropped calls or reception. Mostly if I lose a call it's because I have a low battery or inside an elevator but otherwise fine from home and work. Which by the way I'm in the southwest suburbs and work right by LaGrange Ave and I55 and reception is just fine. My plan is up for renewal this summer and I'm not going to switch. However, I have noticed that when I talk with people with Cingular I can't hear them well... it's very warbled. I like to think that Cingular sucks but I don't have a problem talking to other cell carriers. Maybe it's the cell phone itself. NOKIA / RAZORs are notorious for sounding like crap.

horrible reception in this underserved area, especially indoors. We have to stand next to a certain window to make calls, and even then sometimes drops out. I dont know if changing carriers would help if there are no towers. Calls also drop on LakeShore drive, but otherwise the rest of the city, burbs and major city travel seem to be fine.

I've had a Cingular phone for two years. I use the phone regularly, mostly in Hydepark in Chicago. I can count on one hand the number of dropped calls I've had.

In my home (first floor of a 6-flat) I have gotten no reception at all for weeks at a time. When I do get reception it is very poor. *Lots* of dropped calls.

Have had T-Mobile for several years, and reception stinks at home. I just looked on their website and it looks like they have great reception except for this little balloon around my neighborhood. Strange. I can't use the phone in my house, usually can't even get a signal, sometimes it will ring, but I have to run outside with the phone.
