I have had T mobile for 2 years, the only place it dropped calls was in the Santa Cruz mtns. It has been great all over San Francisco.

My calls keep on getting droped and rarely is there more than one bar, I am glad I have a landline (Also supplied by ATT!) I keep my phone updated.

As noted by the commenter with AT&T at Cole / Carl, I too had my reception drop to near nil around the same time. I just spent an hour with customer service who finally forwarded me to a tech who said they've had to remove several towers in my area due to their FCC contract. I was told I can get out of my contract because of it, but haven't tried yet... Wish me luck!

I've spent the last hour researching different carriers and price plans with the intention of switching from my current plan; Verizon's 900 min. $59.99 plan to upgrade to T-Mobile's 1500 minutes for the same price. I think I'm gonna stick to my "if it ain't broke" policy and stay with Verizon. With my Nokia 6215i I can pretty much get reception anywhere in the city and my voicemails never get delayed. I have always had good luck with Nokia phones.

About a week or so ago reception in our apartment went to a one or two bars (when standing in front of one particular window) to ZERO reception. I cannot even sent text messages. What happened recently in the neighborhood????

I have had Cingular for many years, and have just grown up with it. I think the quality of phones has improved as well as the coverage. within S.F. I can get good coverage almost anywhere Including in elevators (sometimes). I travel around the state some and can almost get coverage anywhere. I was In Japan last year and was able to call out and receive from Cal. It's better than Pidgins!

Inside the house, I can get reception upstairs but as long as I do not move my head. Right outside the house, on the sidewalk, I canNOT make any outgoing calls and cannot even reach 911. I have two more days on my AT&T / Cingular / AT&T account, and then I'm outta there!

Can't receive calls, texts, voice mail alerts while at home. Reception is OK throughout the city and rest of the country. Been using T-Mole for almost 2 years and the problem started a couple weeks ago, never had major issues before, only dropped calls occasionally. I have heard other T-Mobile customers are having the same issue. Switching to AT&T ASAP, hoping for better luck.

One call I have reception, next call words are dropping everywhere and can't hold a call, both receiving and sending voice. Middle of good call, not moving at all, will suddenly shift to poor reception. Lots of problems, and I live top floor of the highest building atop of Diamond Heights hill, no blocking obstacles! I can't do business on ATT! Supposedly option to drop plan if reception problems in known zone.

Frequent dropped calls, calls not coming through, can't place calls. Even when I stand at a window it is spotty. People can't hear me, it's choppy. AT&T is awful. I *hate* them just a little bit less than I love Apple.
