Valley View Ave. / McKee, San Jose, CA 95127 Thu Jun 01, 2006

Poor and choppy all across Valley View Ave, up most of Alum Rock Ave to Rennie, continuing unintelligible down Greenside to Gordon, and terrible on back to McKee. Extremely poor in SaveMart supermarket at McKee and Toyon and extremely poor in the parking lot. Cingular says there are 6 Cingular cell towers within a 3 mile radius, but they don't do us any good around here.

Murphy / Brokaw / Hostetter / Ringwood, San Jose, CA 95131 Tue May 23, 2006

Extremely bad reception inside the house - frequently dropped calls. Outside, it manages to hold but with real poor quality. This is the old AT&T TDMA network (Not GSM). Quality has gone down the drain - from what used to be 3 bars, now you get only one if you're lucky. They've been trying to force people to join their GSM network which also sucks in this area. So why bother - except get a cool phone and yet another 2-year contract...

Really bad performance inside. Never has been a time when I have been able to hear the called / calling party completely. Have to roam around in the house to find a spot where I can continue the call. Sprint was 10 times better. Switching back to Sprint.

Treo 600 with Sprint PCS started out OK 2 yrs ago. but a technician said the 650 model handled problems in the 600 series -namely the memory dies and it crashes and dropped calls and no service is daily. I getreception at home but more freque4ntly than not while driving.

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

Jasmine Circle / Yerba Buena, San Jose, CA 95135 Mon Apr 03, 2006

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.

Race St. / Fruitdale Ave., San Jose, CA 95126 Mon Feb 20, 2006

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.

I used to have T-Mobile and it was great in my apartment. Now I have Verizon and it is so shady. Outside it is good, but in my bedroom it is horrible. I get 2 bars then one, then none, and I've never ever experienced dropped calls in my life. I'm glad that at th end of the semester, when I go home to New London, CT I have great service in my home area. Verizon is just not up to snuff in Campus Village Apartments.

The phone rings, but you can only use it on speakerphone or the reception drops and there goes the call. Sometimes the reception sucks and you can't use speakerphone either.

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.

Ringwood / Brokaw, San Jose, CA 95131 Mon Jan 09, 2006

I live in the apartment homes at the intersection of Ringwood and Brokaw and I get 1 bar to no service inside. I constantly have to go outside to talk and that only improves by a bar or 2. I don't have a land line and rely on my cell service which is pretty much useless. I can't wait to change providers. Thank gawd I'm on a 1 year plan and it's finally up! BTW, don't get the IPAQ6315 either. That unit is plagued with problems which just adds to my predicament.
