i live on a small hill with other hills close by and I still get very good reception.Everywere I go I get good singal and none of the calls that I have made have never been dropped.i can make calls inside the house without going outside.i have had Cingular for 3 yrs and there service is pretty good

While the reception is actually pretty good, I get a very high ammount of bad connection. For whatever reason, the calls have alot of static and distortion much of the time. Also, my phone was defective right off the bat, and T-Mobile made me pay $10 to replace a defective NEW phone, and only replaced it with a refurbished one. I would not recomend t-molbile for this area.

0-2 bars on a good day, no reception inside, every call is dropped. No tower in the area.

Outside of building, 4-5 bars for most carriers. However, inside of Toro's building, Verizon still has 2-3 bars basically everywhere you walk inside. I had Cingular (AT&T) and it was a joke, maybe 0-1 bar. Same with other people who had T-Mobile. I would highly recommend Verizon, or possibly Sprint, if you work inside the Toro building.

Reception inside Toro good compared to Cingular and Tmobile. Avg 2-3 bars compared to 0-1 bars with Cingular and Tmobile. Highly recommend if you are a Toro employee.

Great Reception behind Target in Apartment Complexes near Castle Park and in shopping areas around Tyler

Coverage blows by the Orange Terrace Park and towards the new Grove Church going in. Sometimes only 2 bars when I am in my house and gets better a bit near Wood Rd then drops off again. I have pray as you go literally. My son has just as bad coverage with Cingular. Downtown by Galleria coverage is spotty at best. Hey Cingular haven't you seen the smoke signals yet?

The tower servicing this area is located where La Sierra and the 91 meet. Had T-Mobile before this and it also sucked. Go with Cingular if you live in this area.

Just to let everyone know: SonyEricsson phones are notoriuos for poor radio reception. Switch to a Nokia, or even a mid- to hi-grade Motorola.

In my apartment, I sometimes get dropped calls, the reception will be okay often, but then will inexplicably have zero bars at times. Also there are areas a few blocks near my apartment when I'm driving that are dead. Also, in San Bernardino, reception isn't too great inside the building I work in downtown. And getting on the 10-West right before the merge with the 215-South isn't too good either. I've sometimes made calls to people and left messages as I'm leaving the office on that section of the 10, and I've been told that the messages I left were just static. Otherwise, haven't had too many problems with Cingular or this phone. I've been with them for two years and have used this phone in San Francisco, Richmond, VA, San Diego, and Las Vegas.
