Now I have Verizon and the reception is best. I have tried both AT&T and T-Mobile and they were not good. T-Mobile was horrible, the phone wouldn't even ring.

Phone will occasionally ring, but drops call. No outgoing calls can be made.

Inside the house-poor, outside around Cupertino mall and De Anza-exelent

AT&T in Dec 2007 decided not to add a western hills tower, as their user map doesn't have enough phone lines to justify the costs. In this area of Cupertino recommend Verizon... 5 bars.

I always get 5 bars in bay area. Unlike at&t, T-Mobile had only one bar. I am so happy with my current at&t's service.

Have been trying to use this phone in this location for almost a year now. Signal is relatively better outdoors than indoors. Verizon Wireless should put a new cell tower in this area to improve reception for its customers.

Reception is average to good in the north end of the neighborhood (Sycamore Drive / Black Oak Way) but becomes poor / non-existent along Oak Valley Dr.and Cristo Rey through the round about.

Poor reception indoors and out. BUT, drive or walk 1 block in most directions and it improves significantly.

As I read these reviews, I realized that for whatever reason, people are completely bashing Cingular but I haven't had any problems for the last 1.5 years. The ONLY place I have problems are on the Monta Vista HS campus (and only during school hours oddly enough) and Pierce Rd (close to Foothill). I get at most 2 bars in the previous two locations, but I had either 4 or 5 bars everywhere else.

My husband and I replace home phone all together with our cell phones. Once in a long while we may have a drop call or two but rock solid connection otherwise.
