Reception changes within my house. Most of the time calls drop. I have to make most phone calls outside. T-Mobile needs to put another antenna around this area.
I have no signal for my Blackberry inside home. My wife has the same phone and we can't talk to each other unless we look for a particular spot to receive 1 bar of signal inside our apartment. We called Nextel and they said that there are 8 towers in this area and that they were calling network technicians to re-position signal to our home. This is just frustrating ! Thinking about returning our phones since we are on 30 day trial !
Calls dropped frequently when entering the Tuttle Causeway (I-195) on the Miami side's bridge. You will get disconnected while going over the bridge in most instances. I wouldn't recommend initiating or continuing a call until you have gone past the bridge.
I had full reception with my prepaid account with T-Mobile (Nokia 6010) Now I moved to postpaid with new feature loaded T-Mobile SDA. I get coverage without any problem, no dropped calls, but its not as good as my plain innocent Nokia-6010 I feel these smart devices become smart at the cost of poor cell reciver / transmitter units... just a thought, not techie enough to get any deeper..
Family with multiple carriers. This area (West Kendall) is notorious for being a reception black hole. 2 phones on Sprint with 1-3 bars that can be used in parts of the house within 10ft of the windows. 1 company phone on Nextel which works only at the windows. 3 phones on Verizon that are totally useless inside the house, must go outside to make calls and must run outside to answer the phones or the call drops upon answering. These three phones are different models, so clearly, "it's the network" as their advertising states. 1 phone on MetroPCS that works flawless. This is ridiculous when all the other major carriers are technically useless. Used to have Cingular TDMA and also worked flawless. No idea how Cingular or T-Mobile GSM work around here, but my guess is reception probably sucks too.
