KYW3 news just did a cell phone company review for the Philadelphia area. Findings were summed up as follows:
Verizon: Overall rated at 97%

Cingular:Overall rated at 94%

Sprint: Overall Rated at 93%

Tmobile: Overall rated at 89%

Basically they stated as shown above, that Verizon was heads above the other two major carriers in dropped calls.
The findings were done by having a car drive as many local roads in the Philly market as possible and calls were made by passengers, each using a different Cell service. All made the same amount of calls. They then simply recorded how many calls dropped , comparing each in the same coverage area(Philly Market).

Verizon doesn't offer service in about 95% of OK. Verizon roams on other carriers networks in that state. So hard to compare networks

differs in every city... Like for mo6 uscellular was on top of all carriers.. As it's been said before consumers decide who they like and dislike by trying out their service.

3% dropped or failed calls is pretty normal with that sample size. With only 100 test calls, it only shows that Tmobile is worse than the other 3 but not that any of the top 3 are really any better than the others.
