T-mobile seems to provide spotty to average coverage in the area with terrible to zero coverage inside my house at this location. T-Mobile's own website and customer support claim "very good" coverage at my address, but real world experience is very different. Multiple complaints to T-Mobile have changed nothing. I am definately shopping around next time my contract expires.

Please subscribe to the cell tower at SW Barbur and SW Capitol Hwy, this is a Sprint PCS tower. This device has great service pretty much everywhere in the Marion, Clackamas, and Multnomah county areas, except for this house.

Almost always drops calls at my home. Has done this for the last 8 years, without improvement. The nearest tower is only about a mile away, but on the other side of the hill we're on.

The coverage in Sellwood is horrible and seems to be getting worse. On my street I have maybe two bars. I go in my yard the signal constantaly drops to one bar. Speaking of dropping - so many calls dropped that it's now the norm vs. the exception. This neighborhood is somewhat on a hill so one would think reception would be good. We liked the idea of going with a gsm phone so we could keep it if we switched carriers and use it out of the country. After reading the other posts on here about att / cingular, and since the two gsm carriers share their towers, we're going to try Verizon. It really can't be worse than what we have currently. To sum it all up - STAY AWAY FROM GSM SERVICE IN THE SELLWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD.

I agree. Since Cingular and ATT merged, reception went to hell. Can't even use my phone at my office. I have dual mode with GSM but can't even get VM messages unless I manually switch back to TDMA. Also lousy in 97232. Calls dropped and people trying to call me back don't even ring through. I get VM from people TRYING to call when the phone hasn't even rung.

Drops out around curves. Also have some dead areas along I-84.

Flaky reception in or around a 20 block radius up to about the 50th block.

Horrible voice quality and large volume of dropped calls in my office building.

Almost nothing with Sprint when I first moved in. Changed to Verizon mainly to join the rest of the family, and reception is better, but still missed and dropped calls within and around the house. Been with Verizon for 1 year and no improvement or reduction in quality of signal. Just about good enough to live without a land line. Dead zone up the street means I can never maintain a conversation all the way home.

Reception has gotten worse at my house in the past two years. I cannot get more than 2 bars around my house unless I go out into my yard, and then maybe I'll get 3. Coverage seems to be best when I'm driving down I-5.
