Verizon
I get iffy coverage in certain classroom buildings, but in the dorms I usually have enough signal to make calls. The coverage in the Olmos Park area is pretty bad, and when I am indoors I usually only have enough signal to send a text message but not make a call. I think part of the problem is my phone though. It has been replaced three times in one year due to major software issues.

No service even with all bars showing. Can't receive or make calls until I drive out of the area a mile or so.

I have had Verizon for 4 years now after bad experiences with ATT. I have never had dropped calls.

Never have problems with Sprint. Reception rarely drops under 4 bars and 80% of the time I've got 5. Dropped calls are usually on the other end. I notice newer Sprint customers have alot of problems. Are newer customers on newer more unreliable frequencies? I've been with Sprint for 8 years and I'm not switching anytime soon.

My wife and I have different model phones - mine is a Blackberry 8700c and hers a Motorola flip phone. Cingular service here is terrible. I'm trying to find out which carrier would have superior coverage in the NE area at Stahl and Rocky Creek. For the first year the coverage was acceptable but for the last 4 months - forget it! They keep telling us the coverage is good but we know it isn't. Something had to change and they won't even look into it.

I've tried to place calls from this campus many times. I always get dropped after about 20 seconds.

I had a lot of dropped calls with Cingular until my daughter (who had the same Motorola as us) switched to a Nokia and the problems cleared up. Ours did the same, and now I'm happy because it was the phone and not Cingular that was the issue. Reception is overall good; I do have an occasional difficulty in Ft Sam Houston buildings, but otherwise the calls can be clearly heard, little / no static when it does occur. Bottom line: Motorola phones suck, Nokia rules! Cingular service is great.

On a Family Plan with two different phones, both show shoddy reception. Lots of static with some dropped calls.

I switched from Cingular to T-Mobile after I just stop recieving calls at all. My phone wouldnt even ring and all of a sudden I had a voice mail. Cingular could never help and always trying to get me to buy a new phone everytime I went in a complained. Switched to T-Mobile a year ago and havent had a dropped call since. Great reception where I am, and their customer service is outstanding!
