I used to think T-mobile sucked, but now that I got the K700i, I realized it was my old phone. I get full reception indoors and outdoors. When I used to go into the subway and come out, my phone read "no network" until I turned the phone on and off. Now it catches the signal as I walk up the steps! My husband has a Nokia 7260 and his reception is great too. For T-Mobile, I can say the phone's reception makes a big difference.

I have to go right to the Corner of St. Nickolas and 190th St. If I even step 3 steps away I get no service. It's ridiculous.

Service is okay in the streets but weird thing is that service is never steady. It changes rapidly when i get into buildings. There is no service in buildings while my boyfriend with an AT&T phone has excellent service.

The reception is good throughout however once you get into buildings reception is weak or none. If you want a service which is good throughout AT&T would be the one.

I've had a Sprint phone and lived in the area for almost a year, had pretty decent reception with my older phone and even better with my newer phone. It's not perfect, but calls come in and I have steady reception. Sprint PCS is ok in this area. As is Virgin Mobile, which was my phone before that, and which I believe also shares Sprint's network.

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.

Broadway / 112th St., New York, NY 10025 Tue Oct 26, 2004

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.
