Sprint is spotty at best around the country club area. The traffic light at the intersection is in a difficult spot and calls always drop. Cingular is ok (AT&T tower) but Verizon is better here. T-Mobile is useless.

T-Mobile reception is zero to 2 bars; most of the time no reception in house. Three guests with T-Mobile phones had same poor reception. Disappointing. It's within one month since we signed with T-Mobile so we are trying Cingular or going back to Verizon. Verizon is excellent here; but their phone selection is lousy. That's why we were going to T-Mobile.

My wife and I have had Cingular Wireless for a long time. We have always had decent reception at home, but about two weeks ago, it just went dead. We can't get incoming calls, they just go to VM and we get two bars, then 1, then 0, on most calls we try to place. All calls eventually drop and that's only when they actually go through to begin with. Most of the time the person on the other end of the line can't hear us. I tried using different phones and had friends with Cingular come over and everyone has the same problem. I called Cingular and they basically said tough luck. I used to work for Cellular One / AT&T Wireless and know that cell companies sometime shut down cell sites. They claim that is not the case, but there is no other explination as to why we had good service for so long and now we don't. We have good reception anywhere other than near our residence. Don't get Cingular if you live in this area. They suck and their customer service is the worst in the business. They claimed they would fill out a trouble ticket to find out if there's something wrong with the cell sites in our area, but they've never followed up and I just end up on hold when I call back. They suck! We are going to try Metro PCS once this contract is up. Does anyone know much about this company and their coverage in the 95136 area? THANKS

I live by the Safeway near Lawrence and Stevens Creek. About 2 months ago my signal went to near nothng and my phone is effectively useless at home. Repeated calls to Verizon and switching phones did nothing. Get this... 2 months later they finally admit that they shut down the tower in our area. Considering this is what I suspected all along I think I might actually believe them. They said it should be fixed "shortly"... we'll see. I'm with Verizon because their coverage has generally been better than other carriers. I've never been impressed with their customer service.

I was with Cingular before but had to switch to Verizon because of bad reception with Cingular. Verizon is the only carrier that works perfect in my apartment. My friends with T-Mobile and Cingular had similar issues whenever they visit my place. So far Verizon never let me down. I am going to extend the contract with Verizon for another 2 yrs after my current contract period that ends in the next few weeks.

Accident occured on 10 July 2006: Needed to dial 911 for emergency. 3 (same mfg) phones on 3 different numbers with T-Mobile would not dial 911. Could have been life and death situation if a heart attack had occured. This was a freak accident and broken leg not life threatening, but very scary. Waiting for resolution from T-Mobile which so far has not been encouraging. $800 termination fees on 4 phones. T-Mobile says I am stuck for the fees even with no recption.
