I don't know why a lot of people are having trouble with Verizon, I've been just about everywhere in the Springs and Verizon reception is great! I have never lost reception. The only place I lose reception is at the Air Force Academy on the 2nd floor of my dormitory, which is under ground level in a reinforced concrete building by the mountains anyways.

Kept getting "call failed" and dropped calls on both my wife's and mines Iphone 4's last couple months and couldn't even make calls last week from that location or around town. Have a year left and willing to pay the "early termination fee" Signed up with Verizon and two new Iphone 4's, hopefully the service will be better. Verizon has a trade in program depending on how old and what condition your Iphone 4 is in. (enough to pay for the early termination fee). Folks I've talked to have had no real problem with phone calls on their Verizon Iphone (just the rare occassion) Hey, I know the technology isnt perfect but really ATT network seems to have only gotten worse over time... plus Verizon is bringing 4G LTE service out much faster than ATT (already in alot of major cities) and its coming to Colorado Springs by beginning of next year. The next version of Iphone will probably have 4G LTE. I opted for the current Iphone 4 because I needed a phone now. I'll just wait for the time I can upgrade to a Iphone with 4G LTE (Android phones a little to buggy for my taste) at least I should be able to make a basic phone call with it! So if basic phone call capability is important to you don't let the whistle and bells cloud your decision on choosing a phone.

My call even got dropped while talking to AT&T Customer Service! I have to get a new phone now, but I absolutely Refuse to sign a new 2yr contract with At&T! They lie on their complete coverage ads! But it's looking like all cell service companies are like politicians..they all lie and it's a choice of the lesser of the evils.

I get good reception, but the data speeds are so low that I am considering going back to a 56k modem. At $60 a month, I expect better speed than 100kbps. Verizon must think El Paso County is not worth their time and trouble. Just milk whatever profits they can get out of their existing towers, and when enough people complain, they *might* think about expanding capacity. Maybe. I had better speeds back in the 1990's on DSL.

We have 2 Verizon smart phones and 2 Verizon internet lines at a cost of $225 / month. The reception is always 0-1 bars at our home (calls are almost always dropped whether sending or receiving, internet often returns a message of "Servor cannot be found"), inside or outside, though the service people try to blame it on my house construction. The only solutions Verizon offered were to buy a $250 extender / repeater or to cancel service. The problem with canceling service is I can't return the Verizon-locked devices. Friends with different service providers have the same problem in our home. Why are companies allowed by the FCC to advertise one thing and provide such abysmal service?

Switched from Alltel to AT&T by AT&T purchase of Alltel properties in our previous area. Although Alltel did not have towers in our new area, (Colorado Springs), we were using either Sprint or Verison towers while here - no reception issues. Now very questionable reception at my house. People have tried calling my wife on her cell phone multiple times, some giving up, some finally getting through. I have trouble calling from my home but get good reception at work (Garden of Gods and Forge). This is only day two on AT&T, not sure we'll stay with them. Contract runs out 1-Jun-11, now exploring options. Suggestions welcome.

If you are near the intersection of Powers and Fountain don't even try to use your phone in doors. It says I have 3 to 4 bars but can't connect to my data network and I'm not receiving calls.

T-Mobile rocks! Excellent reception data could be faster but looks like that will change for the better after the merger and my grandfathered unlimited data plan ;-)
