Horrible reception. I get maybe one bar if lucky but even then it only stays for a few seconds. Calls are choppy and drops almost immediately. When people calls it goes straight to voicemail. Same experience with Cingular in the past with Motorola Razr
T-Mobile's coverage is far superior to the other expensive providers who over-charge everyone. Their is a huge difference between marketing perception and actual facts, and T-Mobile hands down beats ALL the competition. Now they can also gaurantee full coverage and free nationwide calling from ANY home or office for opnly $9.99 / month. Who else can do that???? Keep up the great work T-Mobile!
Never a problem with reception anywhere in midtown, downtown or uptown. i wish ATT had good reception in manhattan because I want to get an iphone. but I can't miss calls-- I use this for work!
Living in NYC, you'd think that a cell phone would work where ever you are. However, that is NOT the case with AT&T / Cingular. I can't tell you how many times I'll be on the phone and walk from the living room to the kitchen and the call is dropped. Or I won't be moving at all and the call is dropped. In addition to dropped calls, sometimes the phone doesn't even ring. People will call me and say "I've been calling you for the past 15 minutes and every time, it goes to voicemail" which doesn't make sense because I don't have the phone off and there's no reason why it should be going to voicemail. It is the most annoying thing EVER and I will be switching to a new carrier soon.
Just got this phone and I have to bring it back. I work ten feet from a window and DO NOT get service. It seems ok outside but indoors the service gets real spotty. Dont know if its the phone itself or Verizon doing something with there coverage. I had a Samsung before and would get good service indoors. The service was getting a little weak and opted to get a new phone with the 100 dollar credit they offered. BAD MOVE.
No reception 1 / 2 of the time. Call only goes through if I stay close to the windows. If I talk for more than 10 minutes, I will definitely get a drop call.
I have really spotty service. Calls get dropped all the time, calls go in and out, and I sometimes have to stay put in one spot in my apartment to ensure steady service, and that's not even reliable. I'm looking for a new provider right now.
