I barely register 1 bar when indoors, none at all when I'm downstairs. Voice mail notification can take 24-48 hours, if I get it at all. However, it seems that ALL carriers have problems in my building, according to a survey of my neighbors in my 6-unit condo. And visitors nearly always can't get reception, no matter which carrier they have!

Very nice looking phone, but I want to try the new Motorola KRZR K1 and see how much better it is or if it is the same quality as the RAZR.

Verizon works well here, I live in a condo and have been able to carry on conversations IN MY ELEVATOR. The fact that there's a cell tower three blocks away might have something to do with it. Other carriers don't have the same strength as Verizon does

Cingular service in my building is a disaster. I'd call customer service, except I can't hold a call long enough to get through more than one or two selections on their automated menu.

I don't really cheer for cingular, but I have to say that I get good reception. I believe that in this area Cingular uses primarly 850 Mhz frequency, so anyone with tri band with no 850 coverage, will get bad reception. As far as the Quad band is concerned, I believe all quad bands offer the 850 Mhz frequency and so the quality of call is good. I must admit that I had lots of trouble with AT&T wireless when Cingular took over, and I think that's because Cingular wanted to push the AT&T customers over to their call plan. It's strange now, that Cingular is going to be At&t. I have one advice for them, that they should push around customers. B / c this will come and haunt them. I am already kinds decided on not renewing my contract with Cingular / At&t. B / c of their lieing and cheating ways. I don't encourage anyone to sign on, but I will tell you I get good reception.

I live on the 18th floor in a solid concrete high-rise. When I'm on my cell phone, I could hear the person on the other line crystal clear, BUT, they can't hear anything I'm saying... So, the conversation goes like this, "Hi, do you want to go out for lunch?"... "hello"... "what was that"... "say it one more time"... "Did you say, yes?"... "what"... And, this goes on for a while... I called T-Mobile a million times, they said they would send a tech each time... well 8 months later... nothing... same story by T-mobile... So, I call T-Mobile on a regular basis... once a day... They should spend less money on ads and more on building a better network!

On the 18th floor I get 1 bar maximum IF, and only IF, I stand by the window. It may be the phone. With my Nokia 3589i, I used to get 2 or more bars.
