From our apartment, it alternates between 5 bars and 0 without apparent reason. Quality is sporadic, I often get "network error" when I try to connect and calls get dropped without counting as "dropped calls" in their stats because it just goes silent but doesn't disconnect. It drives me crazy when I see their "fewest dropped calls" ads because they claim I have no dropped calls because one or the other party ends up hanging up after a minute of silence. Argh!
Don't get any reception at all in my entire apartment building. My roomates who have Cingular and Verizon get full bars. Sprint also works. TMobile also doesn't work in my office on 5th and 39th. I thought it was the phone but others with TMobile service don't get reception either. Am switching to Sprint, which also gets full service there.
Just swiched from Cincular to T-Mobile and the service is pretty much worthless. Even if the call goes thru, it always drops off. Seriously, its almost funny how much time one can invest in trying to understand why the service is so unreliabale on 72nd from York to FDR.
I am working on the 48th Floor. Reception is poor, i.e., I direct the phone towards the window in a vain attempt to keep and signal, but calls are dropped, and emails / Web services are interrupted.
In my apartment it's hot and cold. Seems like I've always got a signal, but it's not uncommon to reveive VM without having received the call... even when my phone's sitting charging on my desk. In this neighborhood (on the street) I've always got signal.
