Great reception, even inside my office (internal room, no windows). Only had a problem once, but calling T-Mobile revealed that they were doing repairs on the cell tower.

Lived here three years and still the reception is very bad. Helped when I switched phones (I had a Motorola and people couldn't hear me), but reception is not perfect nor where it should be.

Verizon has the worst service and evey time I call they tell me it must be my phone. I have replaced the phone three times and no service improvments.

Bad reception in Boston University dorms and buildings. It has gotten marginally better in the past few months, but it still leaves a lot to be desired. At least calls don't get dropped (as often). Have tried calling AT&T Wireless, but they are rude and unapologetic. They just keep stressing that when I signed the contract it never guaranteed indoor service. Jerks...can't wait til my contract is up. Looks like Verizon has the best reception, but I'd really like something with Bluetooth, which I don't see Verizon supporting.

I tried calling my wife, who was standing next to me, and could not make the call. She is also using ATT.

Very poor reception in South Boston, signals vary all around the city, they need to improve the GSM service.

whenever i am in my house, soemtime i get 0-3 signals depending on where ip ut my phone [a few centimeters does show a different!!] but when i get to Boston University or other places rather than my house, i usually get 4-6 signals always. Well except when you are in door or where in some crappy area, which the signal is extremely poor. AT&T sucks period.

New cell tower means the neighborhood (Lower Mills, Dorchester/Boston) gets good reception.
