The reception is poor. Most of the time I can't hear clearly what the person on the other side is talking about. I get call failed occasionally or just the call just canceled automatically. My phone is showing 5 bars most of the time but would drop to 3 or no bars during call. I do get drop calls occasionally.

Cingular has TERRIBLE reception in the area near Santa Clara University. Whenever I'm indoors, I always get dropped called, which is kind of ironic since Cingular's ads always say that they have the least dropped calls. Furthermore, whenever I try to call someone, I have to try countless times before I even manage to call through. When I eventually manage to get through, the reception is VERY bad and I can hardly hear what the other person is saying. It just sounds like this, "Hello? *insert 5 seconds of NOTHINGNESS* Hello? *insert another 5 seconds of hearing absolutely nothing at all* HELLO?? ARE YOU THERE? *gets disconnected*" I'm definitely switching to Verizon or T-Mobile. Shame on you, Cingular!

I used to have good reception for the longest time since i've been a Cingular customer but for the past 2 months i've have bad or almost no reception even in my open backyard. I usually have to walk out onto the street to get 2-3 bars to get my voicemails since nobody can call me when I don't have reception so my phone can't even register a missed call for me to get back to them. I called AT&T and apparently about 2 months ago they stopped paying T-Mobile to allow its users to roam off the T-Mobile towers, so until enough people call in and complain to AT&T so that they can fill in a form of complaint, they are not going to reverse their decision, and bad reception is all we're gonna get. I feel so cheated for paying for a service i'm not even getting!

Very spotty in the house. Calls go in and out frequently. Have to go outdoors to get better reception. AT&T, put a tower in our area!

i usually get no reception in the house. I usually need to go out of the house to get a reception.

Horrible reception indoors, but decent outdoors. Usually 1-2 bars indoors, but calls are frequently dropped and many times I will see "Call Failed"

Almost non-existent in the house. Verizon slightly better. T Mobile bad. This is a dead area. Buyer beware. Check T Mobile site and you'll see bad coverage.

I usually see 4-5 bars. Even then the voice breaks when I receive a call. The people on the other side don't have any issues. Initially I felt it was a problem with the instrument, so replaced it with another one. Have the same problem with another equipment, but slightly less severe. Don't know the issue yet.Any help will be appreciated

Service is poor AND sporadic. No network reading occurs with great frequency when I attempt to make a call from home. Bluetooch warning of no service available happens all the time on I-280, Benton, Homestead and Market St.(near SCU). When traveling in other cities the service is good. Sure would like cell phone to work at home.

Couldn't get any signal from Cingular in my house so switched to Verizon and enjoying perfect reception now.
