I get 3-4 bars outside, but no bars in the house. If I'm talking, park the car in the garage, and walk inside, the call is dropped. Inside the house, I get "emergency calls only" and no bars. If I put the phone by the front windows, I can get one bar and make a call if the cable isn't working. I understand Verizon is great out here, but I don't use the phone enough (seriously, not even 500 minutes a year), to warrant having a contract that would cost me about $1 a minute for my usage. I generally like T-Mobile, I just wish the service was better here.
The pits. Dropped calls. Constant rebooting. Garbled sounds on both sides. Really terrible. When I travel outside the area it's a little better, but i've never seen more than 3 bars on this phone, since late Dec. usually it's 1, maybe 2. or zero, of course.
This is an ODD problem.. the longer my phone has been stationary here the less bars I get.. If I reboot the phone I get 3 bars not even good, sounds very hollow and within the first hour after being rebooted I dont get more then 2 bars
Once inside the convention center the reception is sporadic at best. I usually have no reception or 1 bar at best! According to AT&T, this area has the "best" covergage. If this is their best, I'm glad I dont have their worst. A friend that I work with has Verizon and consistently has 3 to 4 bars on the same RAZR model.
Actually at Orlando Int'l Airport. I work way inside the bowels of the mail terminal, but not all the time. When I do work in the baggage room, I get spotty reception. Either it's no bars or 1 or 2 bars. A couple of coworkers have showed me a couple of tricks to improve recption. 1) hold my phone near the back of a PC. 2) hold it over my head or rest it on a shelf above me. Just paranoid I mite leave behind. My only solution is to get a CDMA phone. For now I am using Virgin mobile. Thinking of switching to MetroPCS. To be honest, T-Mobile put up some new towers near by and their reception is MUCH better than when I 1st started working at OIA 6 yrs ago! Since T-Mobile went 3g, will that improve reception? Just wondering Rob
Reception for T-Mobile has been very good in this city. I do live downtown, though. Have not experienced any dropped calls and very clear reception. Only issue is my phone model (great pocket PC, horrible phone), so just switch out sim card to another phone and it's perfect!
