MERIDIAN AVE / FRUITDALE AVE intersection, San Jose, CA 95126 Mon Feb 19, 2007

Unusable in apartment, not even ringing most of the time. Get two bars outside but signal strength is fragile, dropping calls if I take a deep breath. Pretty decent around the south bay in general, though. Just would be nice to be able to use my cell phone, you know, WHERE I LIVE.

Communications Hill Blvd. / Azevedo Pkwy. intersection, San Jose, CA 95125 Tue Feb 13, 2007

I have had Cingular for 5+ yrs and have been pleased with the service, even though calls seem to drop at the most random places (101, 280, etc). After moving to a new housing development on Communications Hill, I have HORRIBLE coverage. I have called Cingular repeatedly to complain and the coverage is still JUNK!

Archstone Willowglen Apts. / Foxworthy intersection, San Jose, CA 95125 Sat Jan 06, 2007

I get very bad reception in the Archstone Willowglen apt. complex. The map shows good coverage, but for some reason neither my husband (who uses the Blade) nor I (LG) get signal here. Sometimes we roam, other times we don't. Other that that signal is o'k, but never in any unpopular areas. My friends with Verizon and Cingular usually have signal where I don't. I have a contract with Sprint and they won't let me out because I don't get signal at home. I'm very unhappy with them right now because of that.

Stokes ST / Leigh AVE intersection, San Jose, CA 95126 Fri Jan 05, 2007

In my apartment my phone varies from having 2 bars to 5 bars in certain areas, but what matters is not how many bars my phone shows, but how the voice quality is - and I've never had a single problem at my apartment with calls. Not a single dropped call, ever. I really don't understand why people like to complain about T-Mobile coverage, I haven't had many problems at all in San Jose. I guess I just get lucky.

With Cingular, generally the reception is great. Though some days it seems horrible. Even though they are all horrible, when I used T-Mobile they had the worst cell service and worst customer service.

Kirk Ave. / Alum Rock Ave. intersection, San Jose, CA 95127 Thu Dec 07, 2006

I have a couple of 'hot spots' in my house where I can use my cell phone occasionally, but mostly it's useless. If I really need to make a call, I go to the Save Mart parking lot at McKee and Toyon where I get some reception. Kinda reminds me of what they said about communications in the old Soviet Union, except, thankfully, we don't need to keep the tub running for privacy. Hey, just because we pay $40- + / month, who says the service has to work?

I have had my Nextel phone for almost 6 months so far it only dropped 3 calls. Sometimes I get bad reception in my house which can be frustrating! I had Metro for 3 years had great reception the only thing was I had no service past Sacramento. As for local only Metro is the best for out of state Nextel

Toyon Between McKee and Penetencia, San Jose, CA 95127 Mon Dec 04, 2006

I have had T-Mobile for year. It is the worst service overall. I have dropped calls and my friends always ask if I am driving with the windows down- when I am not. At home I get little reception and will receive message alerts an hour or more after the fact. The phone doesn't ring to begin with. I was told there were cell towers going up in the area when I initially signed up for service. I have adressed the problem with customer service. I was told I could pay 200 dollars per phone to discontinue service if I was not happy. I spent so much time on the phone with customer service to end up with a supervisor who was a jerk. I am changing service and would not recommend T-Mobile to anyone.
