tmobile sucks. either get no reception which is 99% of the time or get one bar the other 1% of the time. I have to spend an hour trying to get a signal. I can only get a solid signal if I go all the way to town, which is a mile away. sucks

Staying at the La Quinta, 1st floor, very poor reception, I have had many dropped calls. I have to go outside to make my calls.

Verizon acknowledges marginal coverage area but has no plans to add additonal towers... .some of the problem's in this area are due to local government not allowing cell towers to be installed. Verizon offered to put towers on Public Schools and donate money, monthly, to each school... the schools said no (guess they don't need the money... :). Carriers need to concentrate on phones that give better reception and no market so much to the kids who want to take pictures, surf the net and text message... CELL PHONE COVERAGE SHOULD BE AS GOOD AS LAND LINE IS.

i live in wilsonville. I get constant dropped calls between here and 205, especially on stafford rd to 205 north. the worst is hwy 212 once you get into Boring. the phone wont work unless you are outside in the middle of the yard or in the driveway. very annoying since it always rains and i'm out there about twice a week. my in-laws (who live in Boring) have Sprint and it seems to work just fine.i have had one phone and my wife two.

The reception is pretty often good, but there are some dead zones and in alot of houses or building just kill the reception to nothing or sometimes one bar.

Have had voicestream / t-mobile in the Portland and Seattle areas now for four years and rarely have had reception problems. :-) Also do a signifigant amount of travel around the US for work and have had no issues (CHI, Bay Area, DFW, MSP, Hartford / Prov., Tampa / Orlando / Jacksonville, etc..)
