Cell Phone Service A Catch 22

Most people are not happy with the service they get with their
cellular carrier. Im not talking about just customer service but the
reception that your cell phone gets. Working and running a couple of
cell phone stores for years I realized that this was a catch 22. Most
retailers want their customers to be happy with their cell phone
service to get referrals and repeat business, but this is not always
the case.

Ever notice how you will get great reception in the most
industrialized areas or in poorer neighborhoods? Its not easy for a
cellular carrier to just built a new cellular tower in any
neighborhood. I'm sure it takes permits, approval by the residents of
the city, neighborhood and so on. Its not about just living in a great
area up in the hills, its about the leverage that people in those
neighborhoods have over the affairs of their city. Cellular towers are
believed to be a heatlh risk to the residents living nearby one. If
this is the case then it is to the benefit of the residents in that
city and neighborhood not to have a cellular tower nearby. These same
people will most likely complain about their service and the reception
that they get near their house. Ofcourse the building structure and
materials affect the reception that one gets while using their cell
phone. I remember driving down to Ensenda, Mexico years ago realizing
that my reception was great on my phone. I had never had reception
that good while using my phone in Los Angeles. Its not that their is
greater technology in the cellular towers in Mexico but it most likely
could be that they don't receive as much opposition as in Los Angeles
or other US cities.

Main thing I can suggest to anyone which I have been doing for years
is: find out what service carrier your friends and family are using in
your approximite area. If your friends and family are happy with a
cellular service they will tell you and vica versa. There is nothing
as a perfect cellular service carrier but you can find one to suit
your service usage are.

Totally incorrect. Residents have NO say in the matter, period. As long
as local zoning is met, a tower can be placed. The only exception is
truly valid claims of historic preservation.

Believed by who? People like you that wear tin foil hats? The FCC has
made this very clear objections due to health concerns are not
acceptable claims.

Dude...you need to get off that sedating medication and get your facts
straight. Google can be your friend.

In my town they do have a say. Verizon wanted to put up a tower
and so many people said no. The city agreed. After about a year passed and
now there is one but It's hidden into a chuch cross on a hill.

Soon after, The police now all has cell phones for there officers.
Which company ? Verizon. I'm sure they gave them free phone's and service.

That is actually pretty common, particularly in small towns. They will throw
up a tower on top of the police station, fire station, or town water tower
and toss in cellular service for the city. Good deal all around.

In your town, they said no...and no one bothered to pursue the issue.

Over the past couple of years, FCC law has trumped local objectors. In
the past, no one cared to push the issue against the NIMBY groups and no
towers got placed. B ut the FCC finally stepped in and said citizens,
local municipalities, etc. can not arbitrarily restrict a tower placement.
