My wife and I moved into a new subdivision off of W. Ridgeway Rd., near Mangum Bridge about a year ago. I checked the T-Mobile site, to see how reception would be. According to their site, we should have Fair to Good reception. Guess what! We are lucky if we can even get a single bar in our own house! More often than not, calls go straight to VM... . Elsewhere, coverage ranges from Excellent to Poor... I was told it was because I was using an older phone, and that when I upgrade to a new Smart / Web phone, my reception will be greatly improved. I am really more angry at myself for continuing to pay T-Mobile for what is basically NOTHING. But, I am wondering, since I do want to get a Web phone for my wife, do they really get better reception than older models; all else being equal?
