This is a recent improvement. Before August 2004, we had no signal from this locale. Now we usually get 2 bars.

Can get 1 bar if I go outside but even that isn't very reliable.

T-Mobile improved service just this past week. Whereas my calls before were dropped almost every time, now I can actually call people from inside my apartment. I can even move around the apartment and the signal will degrade to only 3 or 2 bars.

Called complaint into Sprint PCS and was told 'this is a known dead zone with no plans (as of 01 / 24 / 06) to put up any more towers due to funding issues'. Nice... ..Sprint will SELL phones (actually has a store with in 3 miles of here) to unsuspecting customers.

Almost no reception at all in North Laurel. Do not get T-Mobile if you live in the laurel area. When I go inside, I get no reception, have to face a window or go outside to make a call. my contract ends soon so I hope to switch to Cingular which seems to have better reception in laurel.

Inside my apartment, I get either one or no bars. On my balcony, I can get two if I'm lucky. Moving around my apartment, I lose the signal. So, to make a call, I have to be perfectly still. This is OK, since I just put the cell phone down on a stool and use the ear piece to speak into it. But it also sort of defeats the purpose of a cell phone. I was hoping that I could just have a cell phone as my primary phone, but it seems that I may have to get a land line. Reading the other reviews for this part of Laurel, it seems you would get bad reception no matter who the carrier is. My neighbor also complains about bad reception. The most vexing part is that my phone gets good reception if I go about a mile north or south of here. So it seems like I'm in this no-man's land between cell towers. I bet you the first company to move in here would have a lot of people switching to them. So, I suppose if you are going to live in North Laurel, think about a land line.

Will barely get a signal in the apartment. The phone keeps going in and out of service (0 to 1 bars) and reception is horrible, keep dropping calls. Sitting in the parking lot is a little bit better but still drops calls. While sitting in the parking lot, dropped call to customer service three times in a row!
