We live in Claymont, DE. I am not sure there is a tower actually in Claymont, but there are a ton around here, and we usually get great reception. I'd probably give it a 5 star rating except for this September 2011. Since the hurricanes and tropical storms have it us, our reception is extremely spotty. I called T-Mobile today and asked when they expected it to be finished. I was told they didn't really know. Hey, it took 4 days to get power back on, and a week to get our damaged trees cut down, so compared to that 2 days without reception is really ok. Except if there's an emergency.

Since July 15, 2005, service has stopped near my home in New Castle County, Delaware. Cingular said all the towers are being converted to gsm only and if I still have an older atdm phone then I am out of luck. If I want service near my home I will have to get a new plan with a gsm phone. My phone works great about 1 / 2 mile away and elswhere in the state. I have a great plan and do not want to change it. Since the Cingular takeover the service has gotten worse. Over 15 minutes to try to talk to a service tech. I miss good old AT&T.
