AT&T Wireless (GSM)
Not always the best reception, but the Analog network still works in the mountains where the Digital-only networks / phones fail.

Calls make inside the house almost always broken up. Down in the basement? Good luck!

I've had Cricket for 3 years with good reception,call quality, and value. And the small service area has improved quite a bit lately, both gotten larger and more reliable. But (and you knew this was coming) if you ever have the desire to leave the metro area or go to the outskirts... no service. You can add northern CO, Greely area for another $7 a month, but nothing south. Overall it's great if you have no need of a portable phone outside the city.

Qwest service rocks in the city, but can only use it locally unless I want to upgrade to a National (and more expensive) plan.

Cingular reception is terrible North of the Lowry Developmet. It even drops to no service a few blocks east of Quebec. I can't even use my phone at home near 11th and Roslyn most of the time. I sure hope Cingular puts a tower in this area soon. Other carriers have similar problems in this area.

Here's the problem I'm having with Tmobile. My phone actually gets full bars of signal here in my apartment, but the person I'm talking to cuts in and out and it's TERRIBLE! Many times I can't even hear the person make a complete sentence because the voice cuts in and out. I really don't know if it's T-Mobile service, or Nokia phones, because this is my second Nokia. As much as I hate Sprint customer service, I NEVER had problems with reception when I had them.

This service is perfect except for a small footprint of coverage area. To the bet of my knowledge there is not even roaming. But, I have lost 5 calls in 2 years and the reception is good throughout the Denver Metro area. Unlimited local minutes, 500 LD, $50, but SMALL AREA INCLUSIVE.

Calls dropped sending and receiving south of intersection down to E. Mexico Ave.

I have had the phone now two weeks and have noticed a remarkable change in clear phone calls and bars for reception. At the moment I think out of all the major cell providers and I have had all but T-mobile, formerly (Voicestream)... that Cingular provides the best reception due to AT&T towers. However their customer service is Lacking in major ways.

Just got Cingular with Motorola V551. One bar in upstairs of house. No bars in basement. One to three bars outside of house; number of bars varies while I stand still. A lot of dropped calls at house, 120th and I-25, 38th and Federal. Cingular customer service is poor. I had old Nokia with Verizon and could get reception in basement and very few dropped calls. Some dropped calls at Mississipi and Kipling. In June 2004 I tried new LG VX4500 with Verizon. Lots of dropped calls and exceptionally poor reception. I took it back after 1 week and went to my old Nokia. Might do that again.
