Just switched to Sprint PCS. Very good reception out east on Winchester. No dropped calls and good signal strength. Have the Samsung A560 phone, works for me, basic and very solid.

I love T-Mobile, i've had them for 2 1 / 2 years and never have had any problems out of them other than a few dead spots around the Mt Moriah and Emerald area. Works great when out of town and over seas. For the price you really can't beat it.

Reception was pretty good until Sprint bought out Nextel. Now I can't get service even at I240 and Poplar. Glad I don't have a service agreement, searching for a new carrier now. Goodbye Sprint-Nextel!

Neither party on call can understand each other. Calls are very spotty inside house, and outside. Has gotten much worse over past 6 months. Cingular has no answers, claims service is great. I have 4 bars, but terrible service. Every airplane or train going by interferes with service. Cingular has swapped my phone - same problems. Calls may get better in other locations, but has to be near an interstate.

VA hospital area extremely poor reception. Another area is Highland and some side streets. Works great everywhere else! Drove thru Mississippi on I-55 without too much difficulty. Occasional dropped calls during trip. I'm happy overall.

No reception at all on the first floor of my house, unless I stand by the kitchen window. Anywhere else in Memphis, reception is good. Note that Cingular's roaming maps are questionable unless you're on the Interstate. Move just a few miles into the hinterland and you're on your own.

It seems that I always have % bars until I turn onto Hacks Cross from winchester, as soon as I'm in front of the Fieldstone apts I drop whatever call I am on. Other than that I love the service. Hurry up an get internet!

I was on AT&T wirless network with the V60 (quite basic phone) moved to a new apt only 50 feet from 3rd floor to 3rd floor and then Cingular acquired AT&T. Signal reception turned from good (5 bars) to poor (2 bars), breaks during calls and call drop outs. Outside signal strength is 5 bars to 3 bars mostly, spotty reception and cell to cell handoff appears average at best while driving (reception gets damaged).

In the Memphis area, the combination of AT&T wireless and Cingular GSM towers really set this service off. The dual tower usage really cover a lot of area in Memphis and the surounding areas. I have had 3-4 dropped calls in the past 4 months of service and those are from within my home where my signal drops.

Very poor. Sometimes only 1 bar to no signal at all in this area. Get behind a building and signal goes all together.

Reception goes in and out inside city, won't even work in the Bartlett area half of the time, calls are lost inside of my house, and forget about going further out of city limits, reception drops off past bridge or outside of Olive Branch.
