Two years and great call quality. Other than the rediculous high bills, I have have no complaints.

I have lived here for nearly three years without a problem. However for the past two weeks, getting my calls to go through is a chore. Also, almost every call I make gets dropped during some point during hte conversation. I am looking to change carriers asap.

Verizon just flat out sucks. Sucky phones and poor voice quality in most areas, but particularly in the house. I had Sprint, which was bad when I initially got it, but improved dramatically and I was satisfied. I was talked into switching into a family plan with Verizon with my sisters, because they said it would save me a lot of money and because "Verizon is the best." I do save SOME money, but I curse my cell phone and service everyday. The worst is that I'm stuck in the contract where my younger sister uses the majority of the minutes in addition. It's time to upgrade my phone, but I just don't what to do.

Barely works in or out of the house. Front yard, back yard, no dice.

I get no reception in my apartment and basically have to step out every now and then find out if I've received a call or to make a call. I would not recommend T-Mobile to anyone.

The inability of both AT&T and Sprint to provide a reliable signal to customers who live and work in Center City Philadelphia high rises is appalling. Whether in my 25th floor office or my 23rd floor home, my Sprint service is constantly dropping calls, having no reception, and draining the cell phone battery like mad. My prior AT&T service was no better. There should be sufficient towers within the city to serve higher levels in buildings. There clearly is not.

Brighton / Whitaker intersection, Philadelphia, PA 19111 Tue Oct 02, 2007

For the past 2 years I have not got any reception indoors in any home on the 800 block of brighton st., right near Whitaker Ave. I cannot make or receive calls anyone in my house or the neighbors. I can ONLY make and receive calls outside ON THE STREET, and even with that I only get 2 bars. I can barely make / receive calls near a window. T-Mobile is crippled in this area. My step dad has Cingular and he has reception everywhere in the house, even in the basement! I can't wait to get rid of T-Mobile and move to Cingular, thanks T-Mobile for your worthless network! I have complained to T-Mobile numerous times but they claim to have "3 bars" on their coverage map, its a lie.

Walnut / 18th intersection, Philadelphia, PA 19103 Tue Sep 18, 2007

reception is fine. but NO CALLS GET THROUGH. sometimes I have to dial 7+ times to reach someone, and texting is a nightmare of holding the phone in my hands and constantly resending mssgs over and over. lately it's been especially bad, dropped calls and network failures.

On Campus reception sucks. It works out side of campus, but once you are in any building no bars or have to find signal by moving around. I think the wireless internet connection of temple interferes with T mobile service.
