I get no reception on the 1st floor. Even if it reads 5 bars, I have to go to the 2nd floor to send a text. Occasional dropped calls in the second floor. Spotty reception throughout the hospital across the street.

Always have great reception all the time. Never a dropped or less than 4 bars.

SUCKS I guess I will open my service where u get awesome phone, and for 29.99 bucks u get unlimited minutes. also the coverage wud be great all you have to do is go 1 mile up in the air to get it!.. WTF I am so annoyed at no services places by T-Mobile.. it sucks. they show service everywhere they dont have service. I called them to tell them their tower fell off.. and they were like WHAT. dont ever ever ever buy T-Mobile if u r NJIT student or going near NJIT. just Dont. instead buy a PSP... that way u can play games better!

5 bars inside house sometimes 4 This phone is awsome for reception, trust me I tried like 4 phones in my house and took them all back. My friends get 2 or 3 bars here sometimes with all carriers

I've been a Cingular customer for about a week now and I've got to say I'm very pleased with it. I used to be with Sprint and hated it. It was so frustrating when the call became staticy or disconnected, which happened with nearly every call. My work takes me to several different NJ cities every day and I haven't had problems with reception thus far.

I get no bars inside buildings. What's even more frustrating though is when I step outside again, it often takes up to 5 mins to find a signal again.

I'm looking forward to the Sidekick III

Service is great for audio as well as data reception sidekick as well as regular phone works great here..

Great reception A+++ service

Folks, if you want a great deal on minutes including a service that is very good, then this company is for you. I agree that a few years ago Voicestream wireless which is now T-Mobile was very poor in service, although these past few months / years have brought on great increases in service as well as quality in this companies coverage and customer service. Worth the purchase..ut before you do ask about there PCC in there sotres.. it's very interesting and fact finding..
