My friends have Sprint and Verizon and they have NO Signal... I switched from Nextel and it is the best thing I ever did!

Terrible service on SUNY campus, dropped callas in Crossgates Mall, generally average coverage throughout Albany. Switched from Verizon and regret it.

I'd rate the reception a 5 except that in the middle of a call, reception drops from 5 bars to none and the signal is lost. Anteneas are within sight on the water tower, however, you will have your calls dropped when it gets busy. Forget GPRS data calls after 11:45am, tower gets busy and ignores data connections.

No reception in northern parts of Loudonville NY. I'm so glad the do-gooders stopped them from building us a cell tower behind a church. They get reception just fine over there. It's good when ownership of property entitles them to pressure the neighbors out of doing as they please with their own property. And to those people, who thought property values would be effected, you live in dumpy houses anyways, what's it matter if you lose a little nothing. -Tom

Always 5 strong bars, indoors and out. In the Concourse (underground), they have repeaters set up, so signal strength is still pretty good (a few dead spots, but move 5 paces, and you'll be back in service).

Almost never get reception in my house. Sometimes outside we do. I looked up our address on the T-Mobile website and according to their map we should get good reception. Makes me wonder if I can trust any of these maps for other companies. I just want a cell phone that works at home! Also doesn't work well in malls and stores, but a lot of people have that problem.

Inside buildings I get spotty to no reception. Outside my office I only get two bars and the cell tower is no more than 200 yards from the parking lot! I am not amused!
