Ok reception from the street but absolutely abominable indoors. Whomever I am talking to says that I sound like I'm underwater. Dropped calls are a regular fact of life. Cingular really needs to do something about this. Fort Greene is a major dead spot.

sprint is the best I had cingula its ok,i had vrizon its very good 2 but Sprint has great receptin and the price for the plan is good.

Always cuts out, only reception at the front or back windows, and then only sometimes, after 4 years with T-Mobile in manhattan I will have to give them up... .

i just moved to brooklyn and I have to walk four blocks from my apartment to answer the phone (which sucks with job interviews and WINTER). I don't know what it is. everyone in my building gets reception, as do my friends who also have verizon, excepting one with a similar phone body type and battery. I called Verizon and they said my model shouldn't interfere with reception, but it's a new phone this year and i've updated the towers (228) and still I have to slide my phone under the door to find out two hours after the fact that I have a voicemail I have to circle the block to check. booooo LG, boooo.

I have never had a problem with Nokia phones and T-Mobile service. All my roommates (AT&T and Sprint, have to go outside for reception) but I have almost perfect reception.

Passing the 61st Precinct, I drop my calls and have no service going north from Ave. X to Ave. R.

Poor reception and numerous dead zones

Poor coverage in this part of brooklyn. never can hold a conversation for more than 2 minutes. calls keep droppin.

Horrible recption can't make a decent call always have to use home phone

My calls are constantly dropped. Before they are dropped, I have to repeat my statements 4 or 5 times before the person on the other end can hear what I'm saying. Cingular refuses to admit there is a problem with their system in my neighborhood, and keeps claiming that it's something wrong with my phone, which they've replaced 3 times now. Throughout the rest of the city, I have varying success in making phone calls. It is not rare to have my calls dropped in the city or in the other boroughs.

terrible reception indoors, ever since I moved here two years ago. Verizon swears they have a tower nearby.

outside on the street I get full bars, however when in my apartment on the main floor I get 1 to 2 bars. calls would ring through and then drop out or be garbled. also sometimes I don't get my messages for a couple of days, my phone will suddenly beep that there is a new message and I will find a new message from a day earlier or so and it wasn't there before. its only happened a few times in the past couple of years... but its odd.

recently my T-Mobile service getting so much better in Brooklyn area, I could get 4 bars now even in basement, which I could only had 1 bar, T-Mobile share the Cingular 800 frenquency now? anyway GSM goes..

In my 1st floor apartment there is between 0 and 1 bar. I have to stand right next to the window at the front of the building to get any reception. I looked at the TMobile coverage web site and it looks like I'm right between two cell towers that don't cover the area. I'm thinking about switching to Cingular because my neighbor's phone works everywhere in the apartment.

Haven't noticed any problems at all

Lousy reception anywhere near Prospect Park (Park Slope, PP South), with the exception of the Church Ave subway stop, which is usually fine (go figure). Had AT&T before the merger, and service used to be decent. Now, even if displayed signal strength is good, calls are dropped or don't go through at all. Most incoming calls go straight to vmail, or will ring but not connect. Everything's usually fine in Manhattan, or areas of Brooklyn closer in (e.g. Brooklyn Heights).

i just got Sprint I love it it works very well and I have Cingular its ok but Sprint service is graet.

Reception everywhere, stable at full 7 bars. Utilizing only 1900Mhz, so no instability.

Alternates between 6 and 7 bars. 850Mhz band makes no difference.

No problems, full signal, even in schools and churches and hospitals.
