I average 4 to 5 bars on the regular (3G) It dips every now and then to 2 or 3 bars but very rarely. Good call quality.

very weak on reed road and surrounding neighborhoods but good elsewhere

Looks pretty good downtown to me

Cingular has extremly good reception downtown

I put a 3, but it's really flaky... Cingular will show me 3 bars, but then I go to dial and they are Phantom bars... get a lot of dropped calls around 71st and Spring Mill as well. Signal good downtown and in Park100 for the most part.

Sometime summer of 2006, Cingular put in a new tower or made some sort of dramatic improvement. Previous reception was 0-1 bars. Now it's consistantly 5 bars 24 / 7. Thank you Cingular!

Sprint is horrible in this area. I am lucky to get two bars. My friend has Verizon and it seems to be okay. Sprint is horrible but they handcuff you with their contracts.

I am presently using my 3rd replacement phone under warantee, for the v180. A service rep did advise me that this model was a "dog" and I may be able to switch out of it to an LG model. However, my husband has a Nokia and has similar service problems to mine. Phone service is choppy, callers complain that my voice fades in and out and I cannot hear them well either. Many times I cannot place an outbound call, and have to 'retry' many times before it goes through. Calls are dropped often. Worse, often I will discover a message left on my phone and it has not even rung. Reception was better downtown. My husband had Sprint service previously, and it worked well - we may switch back soon, once the contract is up.

Service is practically useless in Meridian / Kessler, Broadrippls, Butler areas. I cannot make or recieve calls from anywhere around my house. Amazing given the age / income demographics of this area! 100% of the few calls I do receive or make are dropped. Very poor reception for the few seconds It does connect. Downtown and traveling across USA reception is great. Just don't expect to receive any calls in Near North Indy.

Valley Ridge Farms--I work from home and my Sprint cell phone is my main line. My home office is on the 2nd floor and I constantly drop calls. Although reception is somewhat better close to a window, the signal fades in and out. Sprint has acknowledged few towers in this area, but being about a 1 / 2 mile from State Rd.37 is no excuse.

My friend lives in huddleston estates between stop 11 and southport on 135. He and everyone else that comes to his house with Cingular has aweful reception in his house and around the area. My grandparents live near Perry Meridian High School and also use Cingular with little to no service. The best carrier in this area is Verizon because they have a tower right behind Perry Meridian Middle School. Cingular needs to build a tower in this area. I have Sprint and though I only have 1 or 2 bars, I rarely have a dropped call in this area.

I never used to have reception problems within my office building or outside until AT&T merged with Cingular. Since then, both me and my wife (who has a newer model Motorola) basically cannot use our phones anywhere in indianapolis due to the horrible reception. Cingular tech support suggested I needed to buy a new phone and maybe the speakers on my handset were to blame. These dont seem like reasonable solutions to me so I'm probably going to drop Cingular.

Haven't had a problem with my Sprint PCS in Fountain Square. Decent reception. The only dropped calls I've been in on have not been on my end.

This area look like it has a dead spot and everytime you call Customer service to report this problem they transfer you to tech Support who claim they'll review the network status and do something but nothing has been done as of yet. Also most of the time you'll be on a call and the call just get disconnected like that or you'll be on a call and someone comes on the lines so when yoyu pick up the line you can't go back tom the other line at all. In Overall their service stinks for real that I can tell you for real.

I used to have Nextel (Now Sprint Nextel) but switched to Verizon last fall. I couldn't be happier. The put a Sprint=Nextel store just west of 37 and Southport during the past 2 years. Nextel had horrible reception inside, where my Verizon has GREAT reception inside my home. I may pay a little bit more with Verizon, but *REMEMBER*; you get what you pay for and I am happier to have reliable service, even if it does cost a few bucks more a month. I love Verizon Service.

weird issue just arrised within the last couple months. I have good signal, but sometimes the caller can't hear me. I can hear them, have good signal, but they can't hear me. this issue will go in and out without warning. i've called Cingular customer service, but no answers to my problem yet.

1 or 0 bars in a square bounded by Southport Rd.(south), Bluff Rd.(west), Banta Rd.(north), US135 / Meridian (east). V190 performs maybe 1 bar better than V180, but not enough to provide reliable communication. VERY ocassionally (a few hours a week) reception jumps to 4 bars, as if Cingular borrows someone else's tower. The V180 was with ATT before the merger to Cingular, the V190 was added after the merger. There is / was no difference between ATT and Cingular, implying that joining the ATT and Cingular networks did not provide additional towers in that area. I reside in Meridian Wood Park, so I see an on-going pattern.

Very poor reception for one of T-Mobile's signature phones. Had to maintain my home phone due to absolutely NO reception in building.

Excellent carrier; phone usually maintains 5 bars of reception. The occasional dropped call (~1 / 20) but always able to call back / reconnect. Poor reception in basements only. Also, IN-calling is invaluable! And the customer service has been fantastic.

It might be that we are up high (14th floor) of a major condo, but T Mobile coverage has been spotty to poor and customer service from them on coverage and billing issues has been even worse, so we have just left them after 3+ years for Verizon. So far not only are we happier with the phones, but the signals seem rock solid, even up this high. Also find them to be better inside places like Circle Centre and Buca di Bepo, whose main dining room is under a parking structure!
