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.

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!

Sprint's reception is not that great and the customer service is the worse I have ever seen! They also are real good at tricking you into longer contracts

We have 2 differenct phone models, the older of which worked very well until recently, apparently since GSM has become the norm, and yet Cingular refuses to acknowledge or fix the problem. Enormous static everywhere, increasing number of dead zones. Service becoming totally useless, along with customer service as it merges beginning with Cellular One, Bell South, and finally ATT. I am now looking for a reliable provider... or maybe I should look into short wave 2 way radio instead.

Had Verizon and wish I'd stayed. Even in bright green coverage areas, as indicated by their unique personal coverage map, the service is spotty at best. Choppy conversation at best, and frequent dropped calls. Ten more months to endure. Sigh.

Reception flucuates quite a bit in my area. Stays between 1 and 2 bars a majority of the time at home. Not very happy with my service at home but good in other locations.

Sprint frequently drops my signal inside any industrial buildings / malls and when driving in some random locations around town.

Many, many dropped calls. In fact I would say MOST calls are dropped. AT&T simply isn't reliable in my neighborhood.

Downtown in Indy office near circle and at home the reception is terrible. I have a 4G phone and can't even get 3G half the time.

Very little to no bars while inside the complex. The second you live and hut ditch rd. reception is fine again. Its hard to send and recieve texts with pictures. Sometimes I don't ever get a text that was sent to my phone. Frequently miss phone calls but get the voice mail later on. Internet is extremely slow.
