Fringe area. Goes from Cingular to AT&T to extended range within a 20' radius. Need to reposition or add a wider range
trans / rec. A loaner GSM did the same. I guess a yagi antenna with a building repeater is the answer for here.

Good reception outside, 1-2 bar out of 5 inside. However, I still able to make a good call with 1 bar or even without any.

At&T's GSM phones are not good for traveling. They do not work outside of metro areas in Florida.

Switched from Sprint ( 1 bar at the most ) to T-MOBILE - always 4-5 bars - never get roaming in Acreage / Royal Palm Bch / West Palm Bch area - T-Mobile is the best service for South Florida!

I get no reception in my home and if a call does somehow get through, it is dropped within seconds. On the street reception is poor and if there is even the slightest breeze, it sounds like a tornado in the phone. In the car, you have to hold the phone right next to the window... If you talk long enough (10 minutes) your call will be dropped. At my other home, in Briny Breezes, I have to walk 2 or 3 blocks west from the ocean to get even 1-bar. In the house, the phone does not even ring. Most times it will not even go to voicemail. Perhaps additional towers might be helpful... Oops, that cost $$$! I am switching to Sprint. If that does not work, "Bye-bye cell phone!"

Jog and Forest Hill have very bad reception with Nextel. I actually get quite a few dropped calls with Nextel in several areas. Nextel has got to have the worst reception problem of all the wireless carriers here.

Sprint signal is very bad in my community(olympia) might get up to 2 bars and drops to 1 or no service seconds after. Have to drive out to 441 and head north or south for about 1-2miles to get decent reception. Sprint support suggest I get antenna installed in home to boost signal but do not have any references as to where or what kind to buy. What good is a smart phone when you have no signal to pull up media. So much for all that 4g talk when you can't even make a call in this area. AT&T does work fine in this community as many of my neighbors have Iphones. I will probably switch when contract is up even though rates are higher.

After putting up with no phone service in my home or neighborhood for 2 years and my contract had expired, T-Mobile said it was my phone. I needed a new and better model. They were absolutely sure thats what it was and guaranteed that if I signed another 2 year contract, they would send me a better phone and I would get reception. Guess what? Another 2 years without service. I have to get in my car and drive out of my neighborhood, sometimes as far as 441 (SR 7), which is about 5-6 miles from my home, in order for me to get bars. I just don't know who else to change over to, that would be any better.

I'm hoping that with going back to Verizon is the best move because T-Mobile in Wellington is the worst. There are so many dead zones until you get to State Rd 7. Inside the house... no signal, going down Southshore... no signal... and especially Lake Worth road... .I won't even have one bar... even if I wish for it. Goodbye TMobile.

Tmobile has to have some of the worst service in the world. At my house, dosent matter if I am in or outdoors, I will have all my bars and suddenly lose them all. When I do have bars I usually get message sending failed or call can not be completed. Once and a while it says that all circuits are busy. I cant beleive people pay for this crap.
