Just bought a brand new 3G iPhone and NO reception. I am very sad to say it will go back to the vendors tomorrow and will have to switch to something else :(

Alternates between no reception, 1, and 2 bars. Just switched to AT&T from Sprint. Had full coverage at all times with Sprint.

Cell phone reception is HORRIBLE calls are dropped,I cant hear be heard or I cant hear. It is SO frustrating. I use ichat now with some of my friends because it works better. I am not sure why the cell phone companies haven't addressed this issue. I am decreasing my minutes and getting a house line. I cant take it anymore. I miss being able to talk to my friends / family

Coverage all throughout Cambridge and Somerville great. EVDO dead spot in Inman square, and the occasional call that goes straight to voicemail. Otherwise have perfect reception anywhere in metro area I've been.

It's getting worst and worst, almost everywhere there's no signal, in somerville on medford st with central st untill rt28 have no signal at all, downtown boston a lot of dead spots, thinking to switch, but don't know yet with company will be good.

No reception around Beacon from Calvin St. to Concord St. No reception around Irving and Kirkland. No reception from Oxford St. west until past Harvard Law School - dead area is right near Maxwell Dworkin, Harvard grad dorms, and east till Francis St, and Div. School buildings. Reception at other areas on Harvard campus is not ideal. Have tried other phones and surprisingly this one does better than my friends RAZR, and the 8125.

Reception is great, inside and outside the house, and in the whole neighborhood. Usually full bars. However I do experience extremely frequent dropped calls and mid-call tower-switching, or so it seems. In the middle of a phone call with 4-5 bars, the conversation suddenly goes dead for several seconds (not even ambient earphone noise), the phone makes a short burst of pulsing hums, and then the conversation comes back just as abruptly as it disappeared. This is similar to problems many others have reported with this phone, so I don't know if it's a signal issue, a phone issue, or some artifact of how this particular phone deals with signal problems. But for what it's worth, it's my experience.

I have always had good reception until about 7 days ago. Suddenly I have no reception at home, no reception in my office... no reception anywhere! When I am fortunate enough to get a weak signal and make a call, the call gets dropped. I contacted Cingular and they said the network was functioning properly, and it was probably my phone. The phone is new and functioned perfectly until a week ago. The cautious consumer may want to consider another provider, because something is going on at Cingular.

No problems. I have to really be in the boonies, a bomb shelter, or a building with thick stone walls before my phone loses reception.

Horrible reception inside my house. Ironically, my roomate has the exact same model phone, but in T-Mobile (I think, maybe it was Verizon) - and they have perfect service. Works outside okay, but even then my calls get dropped every now and then.
