Verizon

Awful reception! I can't believe that the positive comments about Verizon in Mesa are genuine!

Had Qwest for 5 years loved the customer service hated the coverage. Dropped calls all the time. Missed half the calls that came in...

Great reception in Philly but in Scottsdale during the summer. Can't make calls out and I occasionally catch signal on an incoming call and get barely enough time to say "Will call you back on a land line." Would not recommend if you live in 85259.

Dropped calls every few minutes. Sometimes cannot place calls. Also, missed calls can take hours to alert. Verizon confirmed in 2004 with an onsite test and cited the eastern hills as the source of the problem. They said no plans to improve for 2 years. I think that will not change until the loop 202 is finished in this area.

I get "no service" or "Emergency Only" all the time now. I loved ATT TDMA service... GSM SUCKS. I got dropped calls all the time around AZ Mills Mall, dropped calls on Southern and Mill. Reception in my house is 0. no service. I have to stand outside to get 1-2 bars... and even then it cuts in and out.

Although reception has been generally good in the Scottsdale and Phoenix area, it has been very poor in the vicinity of my home. Often can't call out at all. Incoming calls frequently don't ring and are routed to voice mail. Virgin Mobile uses the Sprint network so results for Sprint in these area may well be similar. I used to have a Verizon phone, and their coverage was quite good. I switched from Verizon to Virgin Mobile because I don't use a cell phone much and never even came close to using my monthly air time quota.

We have 2 phones and both will drop calls after 10 - 15 minutes consistantly.

I understand what some of the other respondents have said in regards to cell service in east Mesa, recently T mobile and Sprint put up a cell tower at the South East corner of the above listed cross roads (looks like a great big palm tree), now I have no dropped calls, and the service is great. But before that, I would average about 25-55% dropped calls. I've noticed that T mobile has installed alot of new towers along McKellips too. Sprint is good about giving credits for dropped calls, but you need to call *2 then say dropped calls for the 50 cent per dropped call alowance (up to $10.00 per phone, per month)

Have been an AT&T Customer for over 2 years with no problems. Recently upgraded my phone and jumped over to Cingular's GSM Network. Have had nothing but problems. Calls drops consistantly. I would not recommend Cingular in the greater Phoenix area.

Phone drops calls all the time in this area. T-Mobile and AT&T (pre-merger) worked better, but I can't port my number to either one of them.
