Poor reception outside the building. No reception inside the building. I thought GSM would be different than TDMA, but it is not.

No reception in my home and many places outside my home. Only got clear service when driving on 169 or 100. Anywhere 30 min from downtown service went to roam for T-Mobile. I have been told that it only functions on the the (1800 / 1900) GSM network so that is why the reception is so poor. I am switching to a V600 which from what I have heard is much better.

I've had all 7 bars listed in NE Mpls, Uptown, I394 / Minnetonka. Perfect reception.

I just started with AT&T GSM (Nokia 6200), going from AT&T TDMA (Nokia 3360). Not too much experience, yet. The TDMA served me well all over the Twin Cities, but was weak inside my stucco house. The GSM service w/Nokia 6200 seems roughly the same. AT&T apparently shares T-Mobile towers. Callers say my voice is loud and clear. By the way, I've tried SprintPCS (Samsung VGA1000) and Verizon (LGVX6000). The Sprint phone wouldn't work inside my house. The Verizon phone actually worked reasonably well in the basement -- but not the best inside my office building (near Fort Snelling) until it switched to a different (roaming) tower. Dropped a call during the switch. I've decided to go with AT&T GSM because I like the phone and service has been adequate. Still waiting for the ideal phone/plan combination.

I will have reasonably good reception from Minneapolis. When I get to 85th Ave. on Hwy 252 my call is dropped every time. My reception in my house is very poor.

Absolutely awful. I had it for a day, returned it due to terrible reception and received bills for different amounts for four months. They tried charging the activation fee twice and then waived it on the third time and then showed a balance of 36 cents on the next and a credit on the last one although nothing was ever paid.

Extremely poor connectivity inside the building here.

We have had exceedingly few problems with our AT&T service throughout the Twin Cities, particularly in Columbia Heights/Northeast and at the University. The only place I get no service is when I am in an interior office inside an old concrete buliding that is built into a hill (go figure). Only a few dropped calls in 12 months, although voice quality does break down sometimes.

It's a black hole. We have four AT&T TDMA's and the in house / in yard reception is awful!

Inside the Alfa Auto Service shop on the corner or the snyders there is almost no receptiion. I get dropped calls regularly.
