Calls are constantly dropped. Typical to get a voice message when the phone never rings. I don't get texts sometimes until I am 1 mile from my house.

Sometimes, I lose reception in my living room. It seems to have gotten a little better in the last year, though.

Had no problems acquiring 3G signal and at least 4 bars until about a month ago. I can no longer get any sort of service in my home on Frye and Higley, and even when near this area, it is spotty at best. Numerous dropped calls, no internet access, and no texting whatsoever. I'm not sure what happened, but I even returned my iPhone and got a replacement on warranty thinking that it was an issue with the phone, and tried again tonight, and nothing! AT&T has always been pretty bad, but this is absolutely ridiculous... maybe an issue of the iPhone 4 launch, a network outtage, normal crappy service, or a large pile of cellphone kryptonite hiding beneath my house, or all of the above. Stay away from AT&T!

Good Coverage with T-Mobile. Some dropped calls in buildings but good otherwise. Some issues with AT&T overpowering the weak T-Mobile GSM signal and phone showing 5 bars with No Service. 3G has good speed and only sharing with G1's. not much traffic yet. Getting up to 800 Kb / s.. Travelling is a bit spotty. Vegas strip coverage sucks. Awaiting new Windows Mobile Devices for 3G from TMobile. They used to be ahead of everyone, in the last year they have been a bit boring.

Our phones don't work in our house and they drop calls all the time. The customer service sucks as well. I called them and told them the reception was bad and they looked into it with tech support. While I was on the phone with them the call dropped 3 times. They let me out of my contract without a penalty.

Inside house, get 0-1 bars, outside, sometimes 1-2 bars, but fluxuates a lot! Sprint coverage in general in the Gilbert area is poor.

Zip code is actually 85297, form said it was a bad zip code... Bad coverage at my house, sometimes 1-2 bars, sometimes none. Very unreliable. Spoke to a guy at the Cingular store and he said there's a tower going up at Power and Queen Creek, so hopefully that'll improve the situation here.

I agree with the guy who complained about getting his voice mails late. I've had VM show up a week later and this has caused me problems with my job. Reception is crappy all over the valley. The phone doesn't give me enough warning that it needs to be charged--it shows full and then an hour later goes to zero. I want to drop my landline but not for this terrible service. I wish I had stayed with T-Mobile but I have another year on this lousy contract with Sprint.

I constantly drop calls all over the valley. The phone rarely rings on incoming calls and voicemails arrive anywhere fom 1 - 24 hours late. I originally thought it was the phone but it happens on my wife's 2 phones as well. Seems to have gotten worse since the Nextel merger.

I have had T-Moble for one year now and the service is horrible, my children will text me and maybe I will get it in a week! All my calls are dropped within 1 minute, I have to drive away from my house in order to talk on my phone. T-Mobile told me per there contract they don't gurantee service in a certain location. I have provided my children with cell phones so they can call me when they get home from school and in case of an emergency. You can't depend on T-Mobile service.T-Mobile does not work in gilbert but they would make me pay until my contract is up. Thank god, my contract is up this month and I am not renewing. I called customer service and all they did was tell me that they would charge me for cancelling my contract if I did it early. Even thro they can't provide service. Insane. I even threatened to call channel 3 (On your side). I will tell everyone I know not to use T-Mobile.

I used to have T-Mobile, which had great reception (pretty much everywhere I went - even other states), but their phone selection was pretty terrible. When Verizon started racking up awards for reception, I switched, and it has been pretty decent. I get reception almost everywhere I've been - New York City, Hawaii, California. The only downside is that they overcharge for service - I guess you get what you pay for. I thought about switching to Sprint's SERO plan, but I'm not sure if they could offer better reception.

I get a dropped call probably once or twice a week. Text messaging seems to be slow and won't go through at times. Sprint has been decent, but I am switching carriers because I am not thrilled.

T-Mobile Service is constantly 4 to 5 bars in and around the Intersections Above. Additionally, I have experienced NO DROPPED CALLS in the greater Gilbert area (downtown Gilbert Rd.area) as well as the East Valley to Downtown Phoenix (areas I generally travel on a weekly basis). T-Mobile Service has been excellent for me and I was very hesitant to buy GSM based service after years of ATT and Sprint service plans. Now if they could just get some decent business phones...

Extremely spotty reception inside my house with unpredictable call results. Multiple dropped calls while driving on Val Vista south toward Mercy Gilbert Medical Center / loop 202. Sprint supposedly has many towers planned to go up in 2007. I don't have the patience to wait and I DEPEND on the phone to have perfectly reliable service while at home, so I bought a repeater to put in my house to guarantee reliability while at home.

Power Ranch gets poor reception. I get 0-2 bars on my phone and drop calls most of the time. I've tried Sprint and they also suck out here.
