I rarely go below 3 bars in this area. Indoors, outdoors, and even in basements I seem to get a strong and stable signal.

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!

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.

Great reception while outdoors around the Albany area. As soon as you enter a building however reception tends to be poor.

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.

Static. Many dropped calls. Worse inside buildings than outside. But outside is not good either.

We get little or no reception inside our home (a wood frame house, not a subterranean bomb shelter!). Reception is slightly better out on the street (2 or 3 bars) but signal is choppy and filled with frequent echo and static. We have friends with AT&T that have perfect reception in our house and all over town, so we are switching at the end of the month when our contract with Verizion expires.
