I very often only get the voicemails and the phone never rings. Or it will talk me longer periods of time to make the call, because it keeps dropping it. I feel that T-Mobile's service on the Sidekicks, is absolutely horrible. I am sitting in Westchester at the moment, and a few moments ago I had full service and now for the pasted 10 minutes, I have had abosolutely no service.
Service is spectacular. I get the full 5 bars of service everywhere I go. Whether it's in an elevator, the basement or the 8th floor. I have never gotten any dropped calls in the area and the calls I make are clear and perfect. I am always traveling around manhatten and the serivce remains the same; wonderful. I frequently travel in the MTA subway service. I take the 1 train and the 7 train to and from the area. I get 3 or 4 bars underground at 66th street going home. I get perfect service on 59th street, still in the train. I get 1 or 2 bars under 50th street and then I lose service at 42nd street times square. The same consists when I am traveling to manhatten. Compared to my friends with other cellphone services, I am always the one with the amazing Cingular service. Cingular has flawless service wherever I go in the manhatten area and has never let me down. There service is very reliable and I think it is the best out there. I never had any problems and I recommend their service to anyone.
The inner units of this building (meaning those facing the patios, not the street) get no reception from Cingular. It's worse on the lower floors. This has been the case for the last 3 years.
There are frequently dropped calls, calls that go straight to voicemail. I'm unhappy, and I'm wondering if its the phone, but from what I see on this board, it isn't.
Verizon Wireless has foremost the best reception than any wireless carrier. I had T Mobile and Cingular and they really need to upgrade on their network. I never had a problem with thier network wherever I go. Especially out of the tri-state. They do work under some the #6 Train stations, Chambers and Essex St.on the J Train and in Atlantic Ave. and Borough Hall on the #4 train. I was shocked to recieve reception with them waiting on the 1st car of the Manhattan bound F and V train in 34 street / Herald Square ( 1, 2 bars though. )
On 10th floor of a building located at 46th st and Broadway, reception pretty inconsistent and Verizon may be selling too many phones and not upgrading their system, I cant get a connection to talk to my wife in the evening..
Great reception everywhere below 14th St. (even inside the 8th St. and Broadway subway station). Switched from Sprint which had a dead spot on 95th and Second Ave. and kinda crappy reception around the city.
