these phones (2) are 5 yrs old - I got good reception at home from 2003 to 2007 - now cannot get a call in or out in pecan creek area

Poor reception in and outside home. A drive to adjacent streets improves reception. A visit to ATT store was little help, as they said "oh, yes, that is a DEAD zone, sorry". A visit to Cellular South got a response that this area was well covered. I tried to get them to lend me a phone to test their coverage, but no luck.

I get terrible reception the majority of the time in the Madison / Gluckstadt area. There are several dead spots, especially where Cellular South's signal is strong. I have not been impressed and am looking for another carrier, but it appears there are not many options in this area.

Very poor reception, usually only 1 bar, and calls drop often. it works good everywhere else around town. just bad around the Haley Creek / Twin Harbors areas.

I get a lot of dropped calls, but if I walk upstairs it seem to improve matters.

Poor reception at my home, but for the most part around the Jackson metro, reception is great! Very few dropped calls.

I just got the phone but my experience with T-Mobile was highlighted by a week and a half with another carrier (Cingular). Cingular has signal in more places but the quality of the call on GSM phones is just plain bad here. T-Mobile however has clear calls all the way down to barely having a signal to talk on. It is either clear, or no signal. After experiencing this difference I am sold. You have all been told I am sure that T-moble has a smaller footprint in the area than others and that is true but when you are on the grid this service sounds as good as a land line phone.
