Usually hovers around 5 bars when I'm in my apartment and occasionally drops to 4 bars. Relatively good signal with very few dropped calls. Great overall coverage.

T-mobile works great around campus and around the Davis. A few years ago, the signal would not reach inside buildings on campus, but now it does sometimes (not in the ones with the thickest walls). Works in downtown Sacramento, Country Fair mall in Woodland, and West Sac by the 42 bus line.

Absolutely terrible coverage in Davis. Consistent 1 bar almost everywhere I go and I have to stand in the corner of my room by the window to make a call, which still often drops. I have yet to get above 3 bars walking around UC Davis. I highly suggest switching to another plan if you get accepted to UCD.

Since the tower was put in on campus there are few places I can go where my phone will not work. Great coverage.

The EMI from my computers will prevent me from getting a call every now and then, but for the most part works great most everywhere I go (until I get anywhere NEAR Winters). Oh, and by the way, does NOT get reception in the large, old UCD buildings such as Wellman or Wickson. (But there is free WiFi most everywhere around the MU - "mooblenet")

Just moved to North Davis, service is absolutely terrible.

Ok so here's the deal with T-Mobile. Coverage is non-existant inside most campus buildings. I could get enough bars in the Tercero dorms and Olson to make calls, though. However, as soon as you step outside campus (or just outside period) reception is excellent. In the UMall I get FIVE bars, and that's just across the street! So if you want to have service on campus INSIDE, T-Mobile will definitely not work, but pretty much everywhere else in Davis I get excellent service. (I live in North Davis and also get good coverage, hence my location)

Depends on which side of the house I'm at. Varies between 2 and 3 bars (out of 4). Used to be much worse last year.

Good reception, never had a dropped call anywhere. Does cut out at the 113 to I-80 E overpass, but that's the only place in davis where i've had porblems

Have to walk to second floor to send and recieve calls. No signal or one bar at best on first floor of house. Signal sporadic in this area. 2 blocks away I get 4 bars.
