I have no problems with T-Mobile reception in New York City. I remember a few instances when all circuits were busy (and it made me mad), but I'm generally very happy with the minute / data plans and the phone. When I sit in my apartment and am well away from any windows, I get 2-3 bars. Even then there is no deterioration in voice quality.

You have reception till you turn the corner on W 106 from Central Park West and then I get barely any reception in my apartment on W 106. I hate AT&T. If it weren't for their North American Roaming plan, I would have not gone with them at all.

Called to complain to Sprint as my cell phone kept on dropping calls, particularly when I was trying to resolve tech support issues (it's my only phone). First person I talked to was helpful but could not do anything so she passed me on. Second person informed me that sprint does not guarantee that you'll have service in a particular area and that apparently my phone just didn't work either in buildigns or because there were too many tall buildings around(if that's the case then how does manhattan get cell phone coverage). I told her that dropped calls happened all the time and if just to prove my point, the call dropped. As soon as I can figure out how to get out of my contract I am leaving Sprint.

Dropped calls constantly, bad reception. Phone will have 3 bars, take two steps and get 1 bar. Good bye Sprint.

It has sucked since I moved here. I've called T-Mobile several times, but the other end doesn't care. They will soon lose me as a customer. Shame on you wireless industry.

Reception is fine when I am outside but when I am in a building there is little to no reception.

T-Mobile sucks in this area. I've seen an AT&T GSM phone work here, where mine doesn't.

Wall between Broad and Broadway has no reception.

So far, AT&T's GSM network reception is much better than my previous TDMA service with AT&T from midtown to Soho / Tribeca. I used to get 2 bars signal with my old Motorola V60 in Midtown. If there is any change, I'll repost.

Four out of the last eight weeks it has been impossible to make or receive voice calls in 10025. The signal strengh is fine but the phone will either report 'Error in system connection' or will make the call but will be nearly inaudible. Doesn't work in my apartment or in any of the streets around it. Works fine elsewhere in Manhattan. Definitely a Cingular problem since it was fixed for two weeks, now it's been back for two weeks.
