I get better reception in elevators in downtown chicago than I do in my wood frame house in northwest evanston. Reception is horrible.

Doesn't get to much more than 0-1 bar inside my house. I get perfect reception on my T-Mobile phone at the same spot.

Sometimes I get two bars. Most of the time, its one bar. Dropped calls, or calls go right into voice mail and then a delay until the phone beeps to notify me I have a message.

I only get one bar inside Target, and if I try to make a call it drops everytime. I always see other people talking and they seem to have no problems. I'm not sure if it's the phone, or T-Mobile reception. Other than that the phone seems ok

Reception inside buildings is almost non existant. Even when phone rings (2 bars) it drops the call once I open the phone to answer. I have tried four different V400 phones inside my office and have the same problem. Others in the office have switched to Nokia phones and get great reception sitting right next to me. Phone gets little or no reception inside most all buildings I have been in across the Chicagloand area. Outdoor reception is fair to poor.

North West Evanston / Central, Crawford, and Gross Point Roads, Evanston, IL 60201 Wed Mar 02, 2005

Reception is extremely poor inspite of being a block or two from the water tower with all the cellular antennas. My guess is that the antennas focus their signals in a manner that it excludes the area immediately around the base for several blocks. I can drive 2 blocks north and get a good signal.

Can't use my 515 when indoors. Drop calls all the time, even when standing outside on my porch. Really dissatisfied with AT&T coverage.
