I get excellent reception for 15 to 30 minutes a day and NO reception anywhere from Lower Manhattan to Central Park West the rest of the time. Usually, early in the morning or late at night I'll get a strong signal on the 19th floor in my west-facing apartment. Then, in mid conversation, pfft! Dead as a doornail for the next 12 to 23 hours. This phone is still usng a SIM from the AT&T service. A salesperson in the Cingular store beween 53rd and 54th on Broadway told me that's probably what the problem is. The contract was originated on the West Coast, and even though we are now out of contract, the guy told me that only my wife, who signed up for the service, can get the SIM changed. As my wife is still on the West Coast, this is a pain. I may just sign a new service contract with Cingular here and get a new phone. My sister-in-law was in NYC Tuesday night and got excellent Cingular connectivity everywhere we went in Manhattan, including the subway tunnels.
I have a hard time getting a signal. Many times there is no signal at all and I miss calls. Sometimes I have to go to the end of the block before I can get a good signal.
Used to be AT&T Wireless and had no problems in my apartment. But ever since Cingular took over I can't carry on a conversation becuase it cuts out every other word even though I constantly have 5 bars. Thought it was my old Sony Ericson phone and then went and upgraded to the razr and still the same problem. Guess I'll try Verizon.
I have dropped calls and extremely poor reception all over the city. Phone sometimes does not ring and goes immediately to voicemail. When I do get through, voice quality is really bad and people complain that I sound as though I am a long way away in a tunnel. I cannot receive a signal in my office building and at home there is interference varies depending upon where I stand in the apartment.
Calls don't come through, but the phone does ring when I get voicemail. Just infuriating. When calls do come / go through, they get dropped without warning. It's only a little better at work downtown.
No reception on Wall Street? I had to go outside to make or get calls. The supposed epicenter of financial America and I've got no signal. That's about as ridiculous as Bryan Adams having a fan club.
