I have Cingular. My Reception used to be good up to 2 weeks ago. Now I get one to no bars. Signal strength change even if I'm standing still. Only difference was that I changed from Cingular individual plan to the Family Plan. I hope thats not the cause of the recent poor service. I wonder if a cell tower is no longer working. Has anybody heard anything

Parts of Jasmine circle (a community with 180+ houses) near Yerba buena receives NO SIGNAL at all. I hope Cingular does something about it soon. Due to bad / zero reception, the cellphone batteries also discharge very fast.

Get around 3 bars - sometimes 2, sometimes 4. Decent coverage for being up in the hills around Mt Pleasant / Evergreen.

I get absolutely no reception inside my 1st floor apartment. If I walk 6ft away, reception is good. Reception is good everywhere else except inside my place

I live close to the intersection of Race St. and Fruitdale Ave. in San Jose. Inside my house, I get very poor reception, lots of dropped calls. If I can keep the call going long enough to make it outside, then its fine. In my front yard, and near the street reception is pretty good- 3 or 4 bars. I have never had a dropped call when I was outside the house. I have found that performance varys quite a bit between phone models. I have had Nokia phones that performed well and others that were unuseable. Best phone was an Erickson T28. My current phone, the Nokia 6800, seems to have pretty good reception.

4th floor apartment at Elan Village. I miss many calls and call quality is unacceptable.

This is actually an older ATT Wireless TDMA account and not Cingular's newer GSM service. GSM in this area hardly works at all. At my house there is zero reception with a GSM phone. The TDMA signal is perfect however.

This is in the Evergreen Valley. I got better reception with my old phone. When I upgraded to the V3, reception dropped. Also, this phone is worthless in a metal building and reception way down in a mall.

Cross the bridge just past Silver Oak Elementary heading south east on San Felipe, and like Clockwork, my cellphone starts beeping looking for a network. I have resorted to cutting off a wirehangar and fashioning rabbit ears in my home (it adds a bar or two but the kids get embarrased when I walk around with it in the malls) Wife says that her phone using the old ATT service is better.
