I cannot use my AT&T Samsung phone on the first floor in my house. I have to go outside or upstairs. My AT&T wireless card for my laptop does not get strong signal either. Once I cross the high rise and get closer to dpwntown, it works better. My work phone is from Verizon and always has good signal and never drops calls. After almost 3 years now, this can no longer be blamed on katrina. I allowed AT&T to talk me into new 2 year contract. Now I have to wait until the end of 2009 to switch to verizon. AT&T SUCKS ! !
Just got the new T-Mobile Wing and was very excited about the phone and the excellent coverage T-Mobile told me I had at my house... 4 to 5 bars they said. HOWEVER... I seem to only register at best 2 bars. Is this what T-Mobile thinks is excellent coverage? Many times I don't even have a signal. And many times I've gotten my voice messages from the previous evening the next morning because that is how long it took before a signal registered on my phone. Not sure what the deal is but shame on you T-Mobile for the poor coverage and the false advertising of coverage.
April 7, 2007 Cingular in New Orleans: 'Poor reception or no reception. 'Very unreliable since one year before Katrina (that's when I signed with Cingular.) This is my 4th phone as I keep begging Cingular for one with better reception. 'Can't get a straight answer from Cingular tech help people about which model picks up better. I strongly suspect it's because the Cingular network and the negligible amount of band width they provide me is the real problem. During rush hour, during french quarter fest, jazz fest, carnival, my Cingular network is so busy that my phone is almost unusable, and I am not in the crowds; not at the events. 20 or so trys eventually gets it. Dropped calls? Usually. Wait time to report difficulties with Cingular phone support? 15 to 20 minutes. (monumentally frustrating) What is acomplished when I report these "events"? Nothing. How small is the sliver of band width Cingular provides me? Anyone interested in a class action against Cingular? Cingular sure is good at collecting my $75.00 per month.
