Indoors, usually 1 bar, but if you find the right spot, you may be lucky to get 2 bars. Outdoors, a steady 2 bars, 3 if all the planets are aligned properly...

Extremely poor reception. Phone calls are dropped left and right. Service is non-existent at my house. When I leave the eastside and go to another part of the city, I end up having numerous voive mails because my service is so bad on the eastside.

My Phone works best in the middle of my apartment but is very sp o t y. I wouldn't recommend T-Mobile at all if you live in Troy on or near the RPI campus. In downtown it is spotty as well but does work better than in my apartment. C.mon T-Mobile put some more antennas on the water tower or RPI's light towers on their football field.

Cedar Park Apartments / Massachusetts Ave. / 15th St. intersection, Troy, NY 12180 Mon Aug 14, 2006

Poor reception in most areas inside the apartment. I've had about 65% of my calls dropped in the last 12 months. Sometimes I won't even receive the calls while in the apartment and will get voicemail notices. Full bars to no service depending on how I stand and whether it's two steps this way or that. Works better while I'm away from the window but not too far into the apartment either.

I have had Verizon for a few years and live right next to RPI. Their service has been the most consistent. I have many friends who have other services such as T-Mobile and they cannot get reception inside buildings. Also, bear in mind that reception is really highly dependent on the type of phone you get with your carrier. If you get one of those phones with an internal antenna, you're most likely to get less reception than a phone with an external antenna. With all this in mind, Verizon still seems to have the best coverage and quality of calls in this area.

Avergage to minimum reception in streets. No reception within buildings. Although Cingular seems to be the best preformer in this area compared to the others especially verizon.
