Reception varies from day to day. Always bad though.Always drop every call too. I also hear myself talk back a lot when talking to someone.i called Cingular and they said the signal should be fine. It is not!

Reception is Really Good through all of International Basically. Just kind of cuts off on High st.

Reception is average at most time and calls are very clear. But loses reception alot while driving around.

Many dead zones inside my house. Frequent dropped calls.

This used to be a dead zone until a couple of months ago. The T-Mobile web site coverage map shows all of its cell towers. It doesn't seem to show this upgraded service as of yet.

I am on the old AT&T TDMA network. Years ago I had Cingular and could not get any reception inside the house. I switched to AT&T and their TDMA network and it has worked perfectly everywhere for years, until recently, when calls are now starting to drop -- primarily on the west end of the bay bridge. Cingular is now phasing out the TDMA network, and after reading all of these comments, I'm sorry they are doing so, since from the sounds of it, this TDMA service is the best thing going in terms of reliability. What use is a cell phone if one can't get coverage in the house / office?

Averge to good reception. Now its below average and half the time no signal. Don't know problem. Friend said old GSM phone might be on wrong Cingular freq. I'm in the middle of city. what gives?

Terrible coverage here. I am in and out on every call.

It seems weird to be able to see across the Bay, including all of Eastern San Francisco, and still get little or no reception. I don't know how that's even possible! Reception in this area in very spotty, and calls are often dropped. Also, when I tried to use the phone in San Francisco, I couldn't complete a call -- yet people all around me were chatting away on their cells! Very frustrating.

terrible reception. this is a busy neighberhood shopping district with 4 major banks and grocery stores. reception is absolutely terrible
