Verizon

Switched to Verizon from AT&T 2 years ago. AT&T had no reception at my house. Verizon is great, at my house and throughout this part of Long Beach.

Horrible service both inside and outside our home. Dropped calls are the norm... my friends hate when I call them from my cell phone for this very reason. Can't wait until my contract is up and I am switching to Verizon.

Bluff Park--ATT was horrible for 4 years, Cingular is even worse, doesn't matter what phone, I've had 4 of them. I'm going to try Verizon and will report. Cannot use Cingular anywhere south of 4th st, many dropped calls at Cherry and 7th and inside any buildings. Phone is useless in Bluff Park.

My reception is never consistant. Some times it will drop out altogether.

No reception inside the building unless I stand by the exteior door. There's a T-Mobile store nearby and they admit the reception in the area is lousy.

Sketchy on Wilmington. Gets better as you approach the 405.

In our apartment we have to be by a window to get reception, or else we lose the signal. Otherwise reception in LB is pretty good, except for a little area on Livingston just before it hits 2nd where the signal is weak.

I get no reception with Nextel or Sprint at 2514 E Willow St. in Signal Hill, CA. I work from home and this is a real problem. If I go 2 blocks in any direction (except downhill on Cherry) I have perfect reception. There is a Sprint / Nextel store on the other side of Cherry and I get perfect reception there. The only carrier that seems to work with no dropped calls around here is Cingular. I've used them before and they are lousy, but it looks like I'll have to switch. With all this money being pumped in to Signal Hill why is there no cellular service in certain areas? I have 3 phones as I run a business out of my house and I just renewed my contract with Nextel before moving here. It will cost me $400 to get out of it. Does anyone know if there is a law stating that they have to actually provide service in order to hold me to the contract?

Never really had too much of a problem with Cingular. I have read alot of complaints here... *fingers crossed* I had Sprint and they were alright too... except there customer service was HORRIBLE. Unless they outsourced the call to India, where I had the most educated, well-spoken and genuinely attentive CSR's, who even went so far as to call me back the next day to MAKE SURE everything had gone thru okay. Let me repeat, they called me. So much for keeping it in the good ole USA. The thing to remember, is all cell phone service providers are evil. They are making uncalculatable amounts of profit and hanging you (their customer) out to dry on extortion-like lenghty contracts. The moral is find one that works for you. BTW - the quality and make of phone helps significantly. I get good service at home, on the road and with the help of unlocked phones, even when I travel out of the country. All I could want is a louder speaker phone option, coz when you're driving, or busy outside swinging an axe / hammer / golf club and logic dictates you can't do that with the phone pressed to your ear, you can't hear a thing. I wonder how that Motorola RAZR is?

Generally good outsude, but fairly weak and less stable inside home. May be because of two story homes all around. Would like some way to boost signal inside. Phone is 3 years old but still working. I had hoped new model might be better but reading reviews makes me think not.
