Verizon
all VZW phones in this area are garbage for signal; 1x data only, hard to have a voice call without dropouts and interference, it's historic. However, last week (04-07-11) my 3g reception issues seem to have ceased! I'm getting one solid bar, and no switching back to 1x data... SOLID 3G! Go VZW! It's so much nicer to rule the air.

When I switched from AT&T to Verizon a couple years ago I couldn't get a signal at home and Verizon refunded all my money and ported my number back to AT&T. Luckily AT&T put in a tower at Battle Point Park. In December I switched back to Verizon because AT&T only had one high end Android phone and they wanted over $1,000 more over the term of the contract for four smartphones with data plans. Now I get a weak signal for both phone and data. My daughter has a HTC Incredible and gets a little better reception. Apparently Verizon is applying for a tower location at the high school. I wrote to the city council and asked them to force the cellular providers to share towers that way we'll get better coverage and the companies will have to compete on service... a novel idea!

My reception is perfect in this location but I have also never lost a call or was unable to make a call due to low reception anywhere in Seattle.

I have one spot in my house where the bars drop, but I always have service all over Seattle. Never drop calls. I also travel to Los Angeles, Phoenix and NY. The only problems I've had were in NYC indoors.

More dropped calls than tolerable. I can watch the signal go from full to nothing while standing in one spot. Mercer Island is a hole in more ways than one. I give my Poor rating only because I like the phone itself, too bad I can't use it anywhere. Glad to know I can take it back and try a different carrier.

I get 0-2 bars, fluctuating wildly, whether indoors or out. Cannot surf web or download anything (but do get push email). Seem to still receive calls though, even with zero bars.

Something has changed this past month. I had few signal problems until about a month ago. Now there is only 1 bar; cannot talk inside - have to take phone outside to get more than 1 bar and even then I am lucky to get 2 bars. Also, inside the phone almost always goes directly to voice mail - calls almost never make it through even though the phone is right by a window. Time to switch carriers I think.

I have had T Mobile for a year. I get service fine here. Though before I had a Sprint phone and it worked everywhere in downtown Mercer Island, even in the elevators. My TMobile drops in one of the elevators. Happy with it. Service fine.

I'm on the top of North Beacon Hill. Got to stay upstairs, near the window. Calls drop downstairs.

Large auditoriums as such in Eckstein Middle School. Sprint doesn't have very many smart phones and the reception is bad up near Snoqualmie Pass, also. I went into a garage a couple of days ago and my phone immediately dropped the call. I would really like to switch to Verizon once my contract is up.
