Cigular bought AT&T wls m-life 850 network and sold there 1900 network in California to T-mobile. Currently Cingular customers can access both networks until they are moved off of the 1900 network. Agreement with T-Mobile has given them several years. Reception is still poor 95828-7526 area unless I go outside. In areas where networks overlap my phone has a hard time switching over. My phone was originally provissioned on the 1900 network and does not switch to the 850 network easily. Cingular upgraded my sim to 64k but that does not seem to help. note: Nextel has unique network < iden > Sprint is suposibly buying them so they will have to change. We may get down to only a few major carriers. Sprint and Verizon share CDMA networks. Tmobile, AT&T wls and Cingular share GSM networks. Nextel < iden> You really only have 3 network choices on major carriers.

Roughly 75% of my calls are dropped. No reception in my house. Whenever on the freeway throughout the state incoming calls aways go to voicemail and never ring on the phone.

Just got my first phone two weeks ago. Three to five bars all the time. Lost a few calls but I just keep hitting the buttons on the side by mistake... I'm learning to hold the TOP of the phone only, after I open it.

I love AT&T Wireless. I hate the customer service people they should all be fired and or shot then replaced with people that want to help not sit on their buts collectin 13.00 an hour to piss off AT&T customers. Other than that I understand that sometimes I will have dropped calls but I love EDGE for internet use and I love mMode.. It works very well being able to find my family when we are unable to get ahold of each other. I can locate my mom, my wife, my brothers, sisters, and they can locate me using Find Friends. My friends can locate me, and I can locate them. My wife was lost once and she didn't know where she was since we moved to Sac from Seattle so I hung up and located her to find out she really wasn't in the sacramento area but was in Davis near e 8th street so I was able to guide her back here.. I sure hope Mmode does not go away or at least they migrate some of the features like Find Friends and Find Things Nearby.. I'm alwasy on the lookout for Starbucks and Find Things Nearby tells me where they are and how to get to them..

Great coverage. I had a problem with my old Motorola, but since I got my new Nokia, I've had no problems with my service at all!

I have never had a problem with reception, but I don't get all of my voicemails and text msgs... more than half the text msg I send are not received or delayed. When I have AT&T, that was the worse service I have ever had. Most of the time I did not get reception.

I have full bar where I live and always get good reception. But I do remembe a call being dropped. Maybe it was beacuse of the other cell phone. Cingular does not have this address under my billing plan. I wish I could get reception when I am inside Jackson Casino. It's usually one bar or no service there.

My BlackBerry has better coverage than any other Nextel I have owned. I have been with AT&T (TDMA and GSM) and T-Mobile in the past and find the BlackBerry to out perform in most areas. Although AT&T TDMA side kicked butt! Too bad it is gone.

There is something fishing going on with Cingular Wireless. I always get dropped calls even though my phone shows five bars out of five bars. I'll be talking then all of a sudden, beep beep. Call is gone. This is annoying, I makes me wonder what the point of having a cell phone is if it always gets dropped calls. I use my phone for business purposes and people think I'm hanging up on them. Cingular has exchanged the phone twice... and I'm still having the same problems. Go with Sprint instead.

Great reception everywhere except at home, maybe it will improve when the merger is complete.
