on the street is fine but in my apt reception is pretty bad

Pretty good reception all around - definitely fewer dropped calls than when I was with Sprint. Could just be because my Sprint phone sucked - A460 or something like that. My only complaint is that when I'm inside my apartment, sometimes the signal is just a teensy bit scratchy. I don't think this is the carrier's fault though. I think if I replaced the wire meshing in my windows with a different material it'd help a lot. Or it could be a little interference from my wireless network.

I get no service a lot. Sometimes I get 'roaming' inside my own home (Sprint charged me for the roaming. Told me it was a legitimate charge). Signal is good sometimes but I think any change in weather affects the reception. I even considered just paying them the early termination fee to discontinue their service - that's how much I hated them. Hope this helps.

No problems with T-mobile for the past 2-3 years in my area.

Terrible service. Especially when calling other Nextel users.

I am an old AT&T customer which was acquired by Cingular. Yes, I have an old system and old phone, and the reception sucks. I don't know is it because they are no longer spending money into fixing the towers for the old system or my phone is bad, but it sucks to use it. I get drop calls, I can't get reception on the street sometimes. It is horrible. The only reason I have stayed this far with the company is that when I wanted to get out of the company AT&T offered me a sweet deal of starting nights at 7 pm, giving me 1100 minutes plus nights and weekends unlimited. with all the problems I am having it is not even worth keeping this deal because I bearly benefit from the service. I think I'd just get either Cingular gsm or go to Verizon and be done with it.

Dropped calls... called Customer Service... will have the near-by towers checked... after 6 months, reception still stinks. Had my phone replaced, still reception sucks. I am going to switch to Verizon in Oct 2005 when my contract ends.

Very bad signal. Getting dropped calls all the time in my house. There's absolutely not signal once I walk away from windows at all.

Fairly solid reception. Nextel needs some new phones and better phone selection.

Reception is strong most of the time - Cingular is very reliable in many Queens and Brooklyn neighborhoods - I get 4-5 bars. There are certain dead zones though... in the Jackson Hts. area e.g. But having had all major services like ATT, Sprint PCS, T-Mobile (with the exception of Verizon), Cingular is the best hands down in Flushing.
