Verizon
Verizon has been generally very good for me so long as I am outdoors or in the car. There is one small place on I30 where the phone will always drop the call but the area is very small (and doesn't move). Typically there is no reception in elevators of large buildings and most concrete parking garages lose signal as you down levels. In office buildings near Legacy and Tollway, there is rarely signal anywhere and any found cannot be relied on long enough to even place a call. But everywhere else... it's pretty good and Samsung phones seem to do well with Verizon here.

I live three blocks East and South of Josey and Hebrom and I get terrible reception in my house. I have to go outside for the phone to work reliably. This is s huge problem since I office in my home and my customers call my cell about half the time. I'm alweays getting in the car and making it two blocks from the house and then getting notice that I have messages, some of them two days old. I had the same problem with my T-Moble phone but switched to Cingular last December. I just looked up the tower locations and there is supposedly a tower about a half mile from here at Josey and Rosemead. You would think I'd get good reception.

Service became worse after Cingular merged with ATT, I am now on roam from my home and neighborhood. Went to Cingular and was told my phone was too old and I should switch from TDMA to GSM. I learned that Cingular replaced the TDMA tower with GSM tower on Preston. I will switch carriers.

Before Cingular took over ATT, my reception was exceptional in house and neighborhood. Now it's barely there and my phone shows ROAM as I drive the streets of my neighborhood. Must have sold off the ATT towers.

I have seen very few of my family, friends and co-workers that are completely satisfied with there wireless service. As consumers we have rushed to the wireless feed bucket like starving cattle. Telecom companies have for 10 years now fed us, over all poor service and we eat it up like there is no other choice. Truth is all of the Telecom companies wireless service sux and we continue to accept it. I have heard the "Infrastructure excuse for 10 years now. I say bull kaka. We pay way too much for the so called "Service" that the Telecom industry charges for its substandard product. How many of you would keep buying cars that run well only in certain areas of town at certain times of the day? When auto's have as large a scale flaw as wireless service has, we get the government to force the auto manufacture to recall the lemons. What did we do with the power that consumers once held?

My service seems to be getting worse over the past few years. Before I could talk inside my apartment with at least 3 bars. Then I could talk if I stood near the door or windows. After that I had to move to the patio. Now I have to stand in the lawn about 10 feet from the building for my phone not to drop calls. Fairly stong reception 114 and O'Connor. Driving around DFW is sporadic. Seems I have all 5 bars until I make a call, then it gets dropped. Could be older phone. Can't decide if I should switch carriers or not... .

I've used T-Mobile, Sprint, and Cingular. Of the three, Cingular seems to get the best reception. All of my neighbors report bad cell phone reception, especially inside their houses. It's not uncommon for me to step outside into my front yard to place a call, and see three of four of my neighbors doing the same thing! Reception seems to have become stronger in the last few weeks - maybe somebody heard the complaints and put a tower in nearby.
