5 out 5 bars on T-Mobile. Works great! Tried Sprint and it was impossible to maintain connectivity. Friends with AT&T and Verizon were were 3 to 5 bars. Hate to see T-Mobile disappear into AT&T.

Very spotty coverage West of the 405 (sometimes full bars, sometimes none). Given the amount of homes and private schools in this corridor, not to mention a fire station, one would expect better coverage.

Very poor coverage for such a major intersection. You can barely get a call in or out while at Starbucks, Barnes and Noble or at Ralphs.

Everything west of Sepulveda in the Encino hills is a dead zone. We lose calls as soon as we turn west off Sepulveda. Even at the top of some of those hills, with a clear view and line of site to the entire West Vally, I rarely get above 1.5 bars.

I get pretty good reception, but it can waver from room to room like a breeze...

I second another comment posted about this part of Encino. The minute you begin to go south of Ventura on Hayvenhurst, reception gets progressively worse until you hit Lanai and Hayvenhurst Dr, where it just drops completely. I must mention that it's no better with Verizon or T-Mobile. For some reason, this heavily populated area (which is less than a mile from the heavily commercial Encino / Ventura Bl business district) is one big dead zone.

I am currently using T-Mobile V330 camera phone and I get very little coverage at all. It gets really frustrating having this really nice phone that won't give me very good reception whatsoever. Along Ventura Blvd.the reception is beautiful, but a few blocks south of the boulevard at my house the reception is awful. My contract ends at the end of July, so I am thinking of switching to the more reliable service of Verizon or Nextel. The price of T-Mobile is very reasonable, but I am not sure if the relatively cheap price is worth not having great coverage all the time. Thank you.

The signal power is very week, thanks to Nokia, I had other phones and I could not get even 1 bar, the service sucks as we know, sometimes I get 2 bars inside the house, then I have drop calls. With my other phones (Sony Ericsson, MDA, TREO650) I never had even 1 baar. I had to go outside.

Zero reception from Mullholland to Ventura. You can litterally be 20 feet South of Ventura and get no reception, and once you turn onto Ventura you get reception. However, reception on Ventura is less than stellar. I don't believe I've ever gotten to complete a call on Ventura that the phone didn't cut off. Also, on the Westside service drops on Olympic around Overland.

I live two blocks north of Ventura Blvd.and two blocks West of White Oak. In my condo I have bad reception. One bar at best.

Live in an apartment complex and there is NO reception at all. Very frustrating. I have to divert all my calls to my landline.

In the hills near Mulholland. Hit and miss inside. I have line of sight across the valley but the signal is still lousy.

I am on T-Mobile no more. For an entire year I suffered through consistent bad reception in Los Feliz Area. Sunset-Gower Studios. The 101 freeway between Lankershim and Coldwater Canyon. I'm done.

Living in Encino for a year, I've never had a dropped call from home. Verizons great but honestly you pay through the nose for excellent service.

No reception in the hills bad customer service too. My wife's cell phone is from Sprint and has reception pretty much everywhere.

The signal alternates between Poor and No Reception, making it effectively IMPOSSIBLE to have a reliable cellphone conversation! I can't even check my voicemail, as the signal drops PIN# digits as they're being transmitted!
