tundra Phone very poor sound for a good company, Motorola. I am one mile from the tower, but still bad sounding phone for a military grade phone

Poor reception everywhere. Cannot place or receive a call without losing it. Not just on Everett Hill, but Knoxville as well. It also takes at least two tries to place and complete a call.

There is a dead spot going down Raulston Rd towards Montvale Rd. I always lose the call.

My wife and I use to be an ATT customers. Driving down Alcoa Hwy. from Knoxville to Maryville, we knew where the dead spots were. Now that I'm a Cingular customer and using the C1300 phone, it appears there are a lot more dead spots! At first, I thought it was my phone. However, my wife uses a Nokia phone, exactly like the one I had. Like I said, the coverage appeared to be much better. Once I switched her plan over to Cingular, she now has the same problems I have with spotty coverage. Hopefully, they'll get it fixed soon.

I travel throughout East Tennessee and the surrounding region. The reception is much improved after the ATT merger ATT with Cingular. My phone often works when my wife's Verizon does not get a signal. As a plus Cigular works in Kentucky whereas Verizon does not. I think people ought to realize with our mountains there are going to be dead spots with any system and should try out a carrier at their primary and major work locations before committing.
