Great signal. Fast 4g speeds.

Great signal. Fast 4g speeds

Reception is fantastic in my home. Unfortunatelly, I travel, and found a heck of a dead spot in Knoxville TN.

Perfectly clear reception throughout the Alpharetta and Roswell areas for me.

Good general reception with only a few low spots which drop

Occassionally get dropped calls or not the best reception, but generally pretty good throughout most of North Atlanta (mostly Alpharetta, Roswell, Duluth, and Suwanee). I use this as my only phone (got rid of land line) and don't regret it. If you don't travel outside Atlanta much, it's hard to beat Metro PCS - mobile and free long distance for less than BellSouth.

I bought my way out of a Cingular contract becuase their coverage got so bad I could not use the phones, same for my wife, and we drive two different directions from Alpharetta. We both switched to T-Mobile with BlackBerry 7100t PDA / Phone and love it!! Have not had one drop yet (2 weeks), the phone works in the grocery store, Walmart, Home Depot all the places Cingular said would not work because of the buildings. Maybe it is the combination of GPRS and GSM on T-Moble, but it is far better coverage than Cingular ever was.

Satisfied with VZW service here. I think I've only dropped one call here in 2.5 years. Put an average rating for signal because my phone shows 2 bars out of 4... although HTC Incredibles are known to have subpar reception.

Better reception outside then inside.

With V3 I get about 3 bars indoors and 4-5 outdoors. Before when I had my V551 only would only get about 1 - 2 bars indoors. With the V3 I can even get 2 bars in the bathroom (I know TMI right... .LOL).

Does not work well in my subdivision or in downtown Alpharetta. Works well from Pennsylvania to Miami

Can not get reception in the home or neighborhood. Very poor reception throughout the area drop calls frequently

Service levels have continued to decline. Many dropped calls or no service at all.

All carriers are bad in this area but T-Mobile is the worst and my 8900 is worse than my 8700 was. There are 2 complete dead spots between Webb Bridge Rd. and my house on Westchester Way that will drop calls every time you go through them. I get 2 bars max in my front yard. 1 in my house, upstairs. No signal downstairs or in my back yard. Verizon is the best in this area.

I live sorta in the middle of the apartment complex. I have no ATT Service, No Sprint Service and No Verizon. My apartment is a dead zone for all.

Decent reception in parking lot, terrible reception inside apartment calls often drop, phone always looking for signal

Reception is terrible and has gotten worse in the past few months. Even if I have 4 bars showing, as soon as I make a call, it'll go down to 1 or 2. And I have to retry dialing each call several times. Lots of dropped calls, too. I used to have to walk into the bathroom to be able to talk, but now that doesn't even work. I'm glad I'm not in a contract. I'm switching!

Very poor reception at my home at 425 Mikasa Drive.

Very poor signal indoors.

My wife hates her LG1300 - she has no signal in the house, my daughter has 2- Below Average and my v551 is 2 / 3 Average. If it were not for my rollover minutes I would change when the contract is up. I might get my wife a Verizon phone when the contract expires. I travel only once every 3 / 4 months but I use the phone for the entire time, and all me daughters friends have Cingular. Am trying to find out if a different model would work better. I do not want to spent $300 on a phone to find I need to buy another and another till I hit on the one that works. Every sales person tells me what they think will work, I know the LG1300 does not cut it, and v551 is Ok at best. Hope this helps someone.
