I have been with Cingular for years, and a few months ago we started having an abnormally high number of dropped calls. Everytime I see the billboard with this advertisement on it I chuckle.  |

Re: Facts
Least amount of dropped calls because of the least amount of completed connections to START the calls. thats what i experienced. I have verizon and it does good except for my new apt. I cant seem to get coverage there, but niether can cingular or others. Voicestream T-mobile used to be known as the sh1tiest carrier around. Looks like they ramped it up a little once they went up north. aren't they losing tons of money?

Oswego, IL | Fewest Completed (started) calls.
Fewest Dropped calls....because you can't place a call to begin with.
Hard to drop the call if you are not able to start the call. |

yes, JD Power is nothing more than an award mill. Just like the Weatherate "most accurate weather" sham. |

Fewest Dropped call by far in comparison to T-mobile and Nextel in this area.
But with that said you can't drop the call if you can't originate the call.. ( which happens more often than any other carrier i have been with, in this area).

| AT&T - The Truth Hurts
I switched from AT&T/Cingular (longtime abused customer) to T-Mobile a little more than a year ago. We have a family plan with 4 people. With AT&T we got used to uncompleted calls, dropped calls, and reception holes every day!
With T-Mobile we have not had one case of a dropped call, uncompleted call, or no reception. Sure hope T-Mobile can keep up with this level of service. |

ATT in their defense is a lot bigger company than tmobile. I would not have even thought about going to tmobile because of past horror stories. I had a problem with verizon coverage in my area and they are sending a technician out to take a look at the towers and test the wireless signal around here.
You know, the Can you hear me now guys. They actually have them. they actually inspired the commercials.

Not if you think of JD Power as the organizer and those competing as the special olympians. |

Virgin Mobile often ranks highest for most reliable service. Oddly, they are on the Sprint network.
I have Sprint personal and ATT work phone. I know of a couple dense spots in the city where ATT consistently drops - can predict call to drop. Haven't dropped much with Sprint in last couple years, especially since they've added CDMA to thousands of Nextel sites.
Verizon is running into capacity issues as they are growing customers w/out growing network capacity. A friend of mine on VZW doesn't get dropped calls, but rather a 'network busy' when trying to place a call.
I honestly think Sprint has the best network now, especially when it comes to data. It's Sprint's support that sucks so bad that they don't have the growth rate. Sprint is a better tech company than a consumer company. They should split off the voice service as an MVNO and focus on the network. |

Constant problems with Cingular... The only time I have problems with Sprint is in steel and concrete high rise buildings.
