I get good reception everywhere but Good Samaritan Hospital (work). People with Cingular get reception there. If Verizon could get coverage there I'd stay with them.

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.

Often, at the start of the call, the reception will read 5 bars, but as soon as the conversation starts, the voice quality almost always degrades, often very severely. Then, when I look, the reception will have 1 bar or less. I have tested this with a Motorola V505 and a Nokia 3120. The problem is less frequent with the Nokia, but the symptoms are the same.

Great reception. No problems within 5 miles of here either. No complaints so far.

Once I step inside the house... the reception is absolutely 0.

Tried to start service, but no service or infrequent on any of three phones. Changed provider.

it used to work barely in the house. last week it suddenly stopped getting any reception at all.

Reception in most areas OK. If driving on any highway will drop call every time!

We just moved to the top of communications hill and our T-Mobile service works just fine, not problems. HOwever, people with At&T that come visit can never find a signal, ever.

I used to have Cingular (before merger with AT&T) and reception was horrible - really, terrible. I now have Verizon and the call clarity is amazingly clear. I've yet to find a dead zone where I don't have coverage. I wouldn't mind getting an iPhone but there's no way I want to switch my provider now as Verizon are care-free (albeit a bit expensive for data plans).
