They just cannot admit their tower is faulty

[Airb330]

The tower that serves my town randomly stops all digital service. So at random times my v710 boots into analog. I've seen it happen on the test screen. All pilots for CDMA just disapeer. Meanwhile, my friend's lg7000's and a670's beep 'no service'. My 710 and my friends' 8900s will work in analog. Then a few minutes later....cdma appears again. It's starting to really become annoying. Verizon denies there is a problem and even claimed they 'were taking the tower on brick store landing down'....yeah right. The local store said to take my phone in (its NOT my phone!) just so CS will shut-up....and then they'll make sure a tower team gets on it. I've called twice about this problem to 611. The store confirmed complaints from my town from people...yet nothing!

Luckily at home, my phone uses the new tower out in the countryside....usually. The phone cannot decide which tower to use sometimes, and thus about 1/7 calls only ring one time...then jump to voicemail. GRR! I hope this is resolved when the smyrna tower is fixed, but probably not. No dominate pilot I guess (CDMA kinda sucks after using GSM). My phone should just stay on the country tower. Cingular and Verizon are on that tower, Cingular is about 225ft up, and Verizon is about 150ft up. That 75ft makes about -15db in signal difference (2-4 bars vs 5!).

I am sorry to hear that Airb.

Let us know what the outcome is once Verizon realizes that it is there fault.

First it was Verizon, then Cingular, now Verizon again? T-Mobile and Sprint are virtually non-existent in your area. It doesn't matter which carrier you have, problems will hunt you down! You are cursed!

I know what you Airb
just get a phone that does CDMA/WCDMA on both 850 and 1900 and you are set.

That sucks sorry to hear that. I kind of feel your pain I live in a larger city here and when I go to my parents house which is alot about 15 miles from them the digital signal changes and I cant access some of my option although I still do get calls. I hope this maked sense I am tired.

So which Carrier is Reliable Now?

So which Carrier is Reliable Now?

What kind of a question is this?? Everyone but you just happens to know that Verizon coverage is not as good as Cingular in his neck of the woods, period.

You know, planetfeedback.com used to be more effective for this.

None.

I would say No Carrier is completly reliable, hopefully in the next 5-10 years they will be. I hear people with every carrier complain about almost the same things, but in different parts of the country.
