Excellent signal strength. AT&T works great inside the building, while all other carriers seem to be weak. Now why can't I find a carrier that works for me and my kids - in NYC and at Wayne State campus?

I was having horrible network problems with AT&T. My phone would show all 5 bars, but my calls were dropped, my phone would switch from 3G to EDGE all the time, calls was garbley. Verizon is very strong here and I'm happy for the switch. I use the iPhone as a iPod touch. Can't wait for Verizon to get this baby!

In my house I get full bars and ever where around this area. I get full bars. Only thing is sometimes people can not hear me on this phone though I think the microphone on GSM RAZR's are very bad. My friend has a metro PCS RAZR V3c and hears is clear I can tell that i'm being heard through the other end. I am gonna upgrade / downgrade to a Samsung t329 since I found my 6.0 FujiFilm Megapixel camera and got a 5th 30GB Generation iPod Video for Christmas.

I've never had a problem with Verizon ever! I can even talk on elevators in Southfield. I went to Toronto recently and still perfect service. Verizons customer service is really there for you. For example, there were times I couldn't pay my bill on time so they took a post dated check and kept my service on. Unlike Sprint - they'll turn your phone off with no warning or anything. Verizon's plans and prices aren't competitive though, especially for Regional plans - so I switched to T-Mobile to save money for about 2 weeks and I had the worse calling reception and customer service help when I called for assistance. Tmobile's customer service reps couldn't even help me with using text messaging on my phone, they said they didn't know how because the phone was new so I'd have to call back the next day. The phone I got with T-Mobile was the absolute worse (Samsung E315), I couldn't even talk in my own home. I went back to Verizon quick, fast and hurried! I guess you get what you pay for.

I work downtown in a large building and just switched to T-Mobile from Sprint. I've read that GSM often has poor performance in buildings, but my reception has been perfect in most areas.

I wouldn't consider another phone service company for overall coverage and customer service T-Mobile is by far the best.

I just switched my service from Sprint to AT&T on Thursday. I don't have my phone yet, but anything should be better than Sprint so I'll start by rating the service as good. I had numerous dropped calls daily, I could barely use it in my house and the basement is definitely a BIG NO NO! I'm frequently downtown on the riverfront / Ren Cen area and my Sprint service picks up Canada's towers, in which I get charged for international roaming if I choose to answer my phone. My godmother has AT&T and her service is great! She can pretty much use her phone anywhere and the sound quality is good even on the riverfront. I'm hoping that I'm not gonna be disappointed with their service. I really don't think it gets much worse than Sprint / Nextel. LITERALLY!

I have reception in and out of my house. Although all services are not available to me (vcast music) inside my house, I love the fact that I can get a good signal inside large department stores. Cingular never did that! I also believe that the 'weak spots' in my house are due to the siding on my house. I am going to try a booster and see if it improves. If not, I am still happy with Verizon.

I get up to 4 bars in my house and even if I get 2 bars it does not reflect my call quality which is excellent. Over my mothers house we're good coverage is scarce I get up to 3 bars and now on my weekends I can talk all day without a dropped call. Its like having a landline phone portably. T-Mobile I'm " Getting More from life"

This is me again. T-Mobile sent me the same phone but a new one for $10 (the shipping and handeling) and I do not even have equipment protection. Anyway my new phone gets good reception I get 4-5 bars in my room. I am " Getting more from life" with T-Mobile. I plan to keep T-Mobile forget Cingular and I plan on upgrading to a Motorola v360.

Reception is okay. I rarely drop a call. I work for the Detroit Medical Center at one of the hospitals. If you plan on working there you may want to get a Verizon phone because they are the only ones who get service. Luckily I can roam with my Sprint for free on Verizon, but I'm going to make the switch to Verizon when my contract is up.
