I live and work less that a mile from a cell tower at 141 and 44 and my reception is absolutley horrible. When I first got Cingular it was great. In February of 2006, the signal got less and less until the point that I cannot use the phone in my house or in the town I live in at all. If I want to talk on the phone I have to go outside. My phone service is VERY unreliable. If my phone is inside my house, it will not ring. It is not until later when I go outside that I realize that I have missed calls. The further away from my home area I get the better the reception is. I have called Cingular on this many times in the past months and they just tell me that they are updating the service in my area and to be patient. I would not recommend Cingular for this area of St. Louis county. You will be disappointed.

Fewer Bars; frequent dropped calls or no reception in my home
