this phone has a tampa florida number. I get perfect reception in wichita with the 6010. great customer service. however, while still living in tampa, I was offered a "free upgrade" if I extended my contract. I fell for it, and was given a Siemens phone that dropped nearly every call, rarely accepted calls, and with features such as alarm that did not work. t-mobile was unwilling to take the phone back and cancel the new contract. i switched back to the Nokia and service has been perfect ever since.

I get poor performance from T-Mobile all over Wichita.

I only get one to three bars. Cingular want fix it

I have had too many dropped calls and poor reception times than I can count. Most of the time I can hear about every third word of the person. I have spent HOURS on the phone with tech support and though they are very nice, they make a lot of excuses for the company and after reading here I can see it's not going away anytime soon. We used to be with AT&T until they got bought out by Cingular and it went from great to crappy in no time at all. Supposedly they are changing over towers and it should get better, as they say, but it sounds like they have been saying that for a very long time. I will never use this company again as long as I am living in this state (which hopefully won't be for very much longer as Kansas is even worse than Cingular and that says a lot).

Reception flakey. Can be talking with someone, move 2 ft and drop the call.

No problems here. Maybe a few small spots where the signal drops out, but very rare.

Have had VZW for 2 years and have had terrible service ever since. Signal is weak and my wife and I get a lot of dropped calls. Customer service says theres nothing they can do about it til more towers are put up.

I have been with Cingular for 8 years and the best coverage and the best service about 4 years ago before they switched to the T-Mobile towers. they said that it would make the phones better yea right the towers they are on now is about six patches on top of an old system from 1999 that was the last time any new equipment was installed. I want to switch carriers but it is $150 to buy out or wait another year to get out of it. if you are thinking of going with Cingular don't. oh and this more bars in more areas if someone finds this let me know because I noticed less bars in more areas.

I have found that the Cingular coverage is bettter than Sprint but I am still having problems with connections inside my house We also have a Nokia phone, Cingular service, and I have been pleased with it so far, we are thinking of getting the new Nokia flip phone since our 2 yr old dropped the Motorola in the aquarium. good thing, it sucked anyway.

I've had quite a few dropped calls with Sprint in this area and in others. They seem to have decent coverage, but I've still had calls dropped with my phone showing full-signal (and I did have my phone replaced).

Traveled all over the country and have had better coverage than other friends and fellow Business travelers. The only thing I don't like is that you can have spotty service along some of the major highways, but, that can be due to the land features in the area (Hills, Buildings, Overpasses).

can not get recption at lake afton or any one at boeing

This could be a problem with my phone, but I cannot get a signal in the twin lakes area

Mobil to mobile is poor reception and get constantly droped. Also calls within 12 block area are very poor in reception with our Motorola and samsung phone

If I want to use my Nextel at my house, I have to go out in the front yard and not move. It has been this way for 5 years. Only reason I keep it is for the direct connect feature that my company uses. After reading comments, will probably try Verizon so I can use the cell phone for long distance at home.

Have to leave my Treo next to my living room window to be digital with no bars, otherwise it's roaming everywhere else on property including in the back yard. Experimented with Digital Roaming feature off and on, same (lack of) signal. Had local Spint PCS branch run diagnostic test on my phone and came up fine. They said there's a tower relatively near my house and they would look into the problem. That was 2 months ago, no word yet.

I get generally good reception all over town... except that I work very close (just east of)21st and Broadway where I get the ROAMING icon all day and night... .I don't even know anybody in ROME!

I have been with Verizon Wireless for more than 6 years, service has been good and the coverage has been excellent. Daily commute to Hutchinson and some known "no coverage" areas on the way where calls tend to drop. But within Wichita and Hutchinson cities reception is very good. My current plan expires this month and have been looking at other providers (cingular, just for the cool Razr V3) but after reading these reviews may be I should stick to Verizon. Cons: Verizon family plans are expensive compared to others. Cheapest family plans run for $70, no rollover minutes or any other features available with other providers.

Been on Nextel for almost 2 years now after switching from Sprint. Data messaging is much better, direct connect is fast and good quality. Coverage suffers once you get out of town.

I get good reception just about everywhere except inside a few buildings (especially basements, but those are always trouble).
