T-mobile svc is terrible in my home. Will have 1 bar every so often. Going to Cingular.

Might have 5 bars of reception, but I lose calls regularly. Most frustrating is that I have to turn off / on the phone on a regular basis to ensure that I'm still "connected". Just picked up 7 messages this morning dating back 3 days. No reception up near the lake. Looks like a choice between multiple evils in this area.

I use my phone for business and I've been all over. Coverage is great! Played golf in Lincolnton and I was the only one with a signal. Visit friends off Furys Ferry Rd. and Evans to Locks, works great. Visit my parents in Thompson and never had a problem. I had my home service turned off for over a year and have saved me a lot of money doing so. Tried all carriers from Sprint to Cingular, Alltel was the best until Verizon came into town. Sprint the worst by far.

Never had a problem with Alltel reception anywhere in the city of Augusta and surrounding areas. If you're with another carrier, well, that's your problem!

Calls are dropped daily or I get no reception, Cingular has been of little help at getting the problem resolved. They wanted me to buy a new phone. Just moved here and am dropping Cingular for a system that works. Very unhappy with their tech support and the way I was treated on store visits.

Number of bars varies around town but I seldom drop calls except (Unfortunately), at home which is around National Hills, down in the river valley.

Sporatic reception. Most calls out receive the "call failed" notice. No ring most of the times on incoming calls which go directly to voice mail.

I cannot use my phone in my house without calls dropping. I work on the road and drive from Martinez all over GA and SC. Reception is terrible and completly dead in some areas. I am very dissapointed in t-mobile. I switched from Spint with a promise of better reception on my trips to Atlanta, but have been sorely dissapointed. They also changed the voice mail system (had to buy a new phone to accommodate) and when I am in service areas that it rolls to another service my phone does not ring and messages don't show up for hours. Their service is a bad joke!

My signal strength is so sporadic. I frequently drop calls driving around Augusta. Cingular upgraded my SIM card to try to improve signal, but it only seemed to get worse. Sometimes I have full reception at home, other times it will suddenly drop to nothing and the "For Emergency Use Only" popup will appear when I try to call out. Finally, Cingular sent me a new phone because they could not find any network problems going on in my area, so they determined it was a faulty handset. This is my second day of using the new phone, and I may have 1-2 bar increase in service but service is still sporadic and patchy. My friends say that my voice drops out at least once on most calls. Driving down 95 to FL with this new handset presented similar problems. I was without service for 5-10 miles at a time. I'm to the point where I would pay to get out of my contract.

Reception has been great until recently. Carrier says 1 1 / 2 yr old vx6000 needs to be replaced due to Verizon software changes. Verizon has strong Augusta signal and has reception going to Atlanta and its' surrounding areas.

The local mental health center has been with several, cell phone companies through the years. Currently, the caseworkers are using the Nokia 3587i under the Alltel plan and there have been no complaints about poor reception, drop phone calls, or unable to get phone service in the Augusta and surrounding areas. I dont know if it is Alltel or the phone but I am pleased with the reception. In comparison, my Sprint Samsung VI660 will start roaming or dropping calls whenever I head out toward hephzibah, appling, etc. It even will start roaming on the back streets off Jackson Road. What a joke... lol.

I drive several days a week from Augusta to Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta. Reception is very poor most of the way... it's a 146 mile trip.

Very poor reception with this phone, the service sucked too around here. Hence bad phone and service = break in contract before my 15 day cutoff.

Cingular is excellent in both Augusta & North Augusta. I switched from Sprint - best move I could've made!

Sprint had crappy coverage almost no matter where I went. They don't seem to have many towers in Augusta at all.
