Good reception and pretty fast EDGE network access.

Both phones work great in town (Bartlesville), but at our home near the new casino the phone can show full bars for reception and drop the call anyway - now since the casino opened will get "network busy" and be able to do nothing

Tmobile reception is horrible. We live six blocks from the school. My wife teaches there and we have troubles calling eachother. T-Mobile says the reception should be fine but since our phones switch over to other providers it really messes things up. We hardly ever get voicemails to eachother and the calls are constantly dropped. Seriously, almost everytime we try to talk to eachother. Other areas of Bartlesville drop calls as well. Going from one area to the other 'usually' results in a dropped call. I've called T-Mobile about this and about all they can say is 'Sorry, it looks like you should have coverage there'. And we've switched phones three times now so I guess that rules that out. Sigh... .

My wife works approx 6 blocks away... we have lots of trouble keeping a connection. Lately we are always having dropped calls from both phones in various areas. I attribute this to tmobile's poor service.

I am lucky to get enough reception to forward calls to my home phone. The entire city is very spotty. At the end of my contract or sooner I am switching.

Nextel says there is coverage there, but it seems to lose singal in the souther part of Bartlesville on Hwy 75 around the Nowata road down to the moose lodge.
