Cell phones dropped areas (Concord, Chapel Hill: chapel, home, wedding)

[newcharlottan]

I was reading something about cell phones towers on here and it reminded me of certain areas I know my call will drop with certainty.

One area is on Ballantyne Commons Parkway, around Tom Short light. For some reason, my At&t call will drop each and every time.

How about you? Where are your "cellphone drops" areas?

The "dip" on Sam Furr going towards Concord from Huntersville as you pass the Vet. Everytime. Verizon.

There is a new tower or collocation on existing tower probably already in progress right beside the fire department beside Morrison YMCA but that is either for T Mobile, Suncom or Alltel and same for 4000 N. Sharon Amity .
(Those are the only ones I have done for Mecklenburg)
I never paid attention to the drop call spot on Sam Furr and if I have I probably blame it on the other party on the phone, and I rarely talk on the cell phone due to you gotta pay attention to potential crazy driving manuevers of other drivers in this area. I seem to never really have had a issue with Verizon across this state except a few valleys out in the sticks of the foothills.

Huntersville is becoming hard to locate a newtower due to alot of zoning restrictions and potential use of the land for something else that could be sold for later to make money on.
One of my favorites I have seen is this one in Chapel Hill.

Ditto, ditto, and ditto.

What is funny is that I too rarely use the phone but when I am on Ballantyne Commons, I invariabley will call home to see if anything else is needed before coming home. This is where I lose the call. I have now waited till I am past that area to call.

On the 277/74 merge...everytime. I have learned my lesson.

Providence Rd. & Weddington Rd. area - doesn't drop call, but you can't talk in this area until you pass the "no-talk zone". I have Sprint.
