I never have had a problem - great reception and dependability. The LG VX6000 has been my best phone. Solid all around!

Excellent coverage throughout Manhattan on W and E sides (except for the 100s on the west side, where reception is not great).

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.

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 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.

I get great coverage and flawless data connections around the W. VIllage.

I was shocked at how good my reception is with Verizon in NYC. I get an excellent signal everywhere, including most subway platforms and elevators in buildings. Maybe it has more to do with the phone than the service. I have a Motorola V60i from a few years ago that still works perfectly despite fairly heavy use.

Verizon has never given me less than 5 bars whether in my apartment or on the street. Works great all around.

Works nearly as well as Verizon near Columbia's campus.

Cingular has excellent signal in this area. The phone shows 5 bars almost all the time. Maybe it's hte phone, but I notice good signal around the city.
