Dropped calls, low signal. Cinglar was a bad choice, it seems.

Have almost no reception within 3 / 4 mile radius of 23 mile and Heydenreich. Usually zero or one bar signal strength. Verizon was no help. Once outside this dead zone reception is fine.

Poor reception in and around my house with the V300. Reception varies from no bars to two bars (out of five.) Anything other than quick conversations are difficult because of significant garbling and dropouts on the voice signal. The aforementioned garbling is more frequent than dropped calls, but those are common as well. Reception improves as you move south of M-59, especially towards Sterling Heights / Warren. Unfortunately, Macomb Township seems to be a cellular dead zone (at least with this T-Mobile / V300 Combo). :(

To expand on another post, I just picked up a Treo 650 from Verizon and found the signal to be very poor in the area. I have complained to Verizon for years about the reception and they seem to do nothing. I have heard rumor that one of the towers in this area was put out of commission accidentally so this problem may be only temporary. Unfortunately, they wont tell you the truth!

Little to no reception along 23 Mile Rd.between North Ave. and Romeo Plank Rd. No problems in most other places including elevators where I work at the RenCen. But along 23 Mile Rd.it's terrible which is an area I travel a lot, so it's very irritating!

Purchased Cingular Treo 650 GSM and had very poor reception at 24 1 / 2 and Romeo Plank. Could sometimes make a call, but never could complete a call. Longest call length was 1:20. Many calls never made it to :20 seconds. Customer service says there is a tower at 23 and Romeo Plank near the Fire Station, but this is the closest Tower, and signal is not strong enough. Phone had excellent reception at 23 and Schoenherr. Awesome phone, can't wait for T-Mobile or Verizon to release this phone as both have excellent coverate at 24 1 / 2 and Romeo Plank.

Sometimes get three bars but most of the time 1 bar called Verizon to complain they more towers going up... so who knows. Otherwise great service. I guess I am in the Bermuda Triangle... unexplained bad area!

Between Hayes and Romeo Plank, there is NO reception period on any phone I have had.

I can not get any reception at home, or most other places around here. I have had my sims card updated and heard every excuse in the book. I want to switch to another carrier, however; the responses from others on this page seem to suggest that the entire area is bad for all carriers.

Always no reception in this area, changed plan and got new phones and exactly the same. Calls anywhere north of M59 last about 30 seconds’ tops. They pulled the old sim card out of the old phone, maybe the reason why... Gong back to Cingular to make them replace the sim cards with new ones. Also had billing problem for 14 months, Cingular added $7 a month to my bill for a 7 / 7 plan? Two extra hours in the evening unlimited. Well we caught the error, spent 3 hours debating the problem. First rep. only offered a $60 credit, called back and argued with another rep for an hour. Results $168 removed from my bill, next 2 months 1 / 2 off. DON'T settle for one reps B / S. If you unsatisfied call back and demand satisfaction. If you're firm and ask what’s Cingular going to do for me now, they'll give in.
