For the past two and half weeks, it gives annoying static noise while talking on phone.

I got horrible reception on Mus Island. So much so that I paid the $10 extra a month for roaming and set my phone on automatic roaming. 9 times out of 10 I was using other carrier's towers. In the end, Sprint ended up having to pay these companies so often that they asked us (I was on a family plan with people in Ohio) to switch carriers before the end of our 2 yr contract.

T-Mobile service is great in the middle of the island. However, on the north end, it is quite poor. I owned a house on the central section and had great coverage (5), but recently moved to apartments on the north end and have very poor coverage (1 or 2) with two different phones.

I've never had problems with Tmobile. The only time I ever experience dropped calls is when I'm driving from Memphis to Knoxville, and somewhere just beyond Bucksnort my calls get dropped for a couple of minutes. When I drive around town I don't have any issues.

We just were switched from TDMA to GMS and wish I had all the bells and whistles of GMS with TDMA signal quality

Customer service with T-Mobile is the worst I have every encountered. Updating to a new handset but keeping the same telephone number proved impossible... four months later still being billed for service NEVER ACTIVATED. Dropped number has cost $1000s in lost business in the meantime.

AT&T service terrible. Business contract; called them. They told us they did not have enough subscribers in the area to upgrade their (poor) service. Not willing to consider that an area with 3 hospitals, 2 nursing schools, optics school, medical school, high school, and about 6 medical office buildings (average 6 stories per) wouldn't have many residents, but lots of transient subscribers. Had to switch to Sprint, which works reasonably, or Verizon (works well).

No reception inside older buildings in midtown and downtown. Spotty coverage in east memphis. Now I see why T-Mobile doesn't make claims of good reception like Verizon and Cingular do.

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.

Like Mr. Douglas on Green Acres, I have to go outside my house to take / make a call. This site's map shows one T-Mobile tower in the area, conveniently close to Smith and Nephew's HQ (company that provided the phone), so the mobile phone worked GREAT at my desk... .where I already had a landline.

I love Verizon, I get coverage in the city, when fishing in Pickwick, or in Sardis. Whether in the city or the country, it is the way to go. Verizon is definitely the best service provider

We just moved to a new apartment and we get 0-2 bars of service in a 2 block radius. Even when we are at 2 bars, calls are spotty with drop-outs and the like. Most times we can't even dial out. We have been with T-Mobile for years, and this is the first trouble we've had.

Very, very poor reception even in the building downtown where I work. Was at Methodist Germantown recently on first floor near the ER. I had no signal. My daughter who has Verizon, let me use her Droid that had 3 BARS! I have the G1 and we also have several flip phones made by different manufacturers, that also perform the same as the G1. Spoke with T-Mobile several times who haven't done anything. Spoke with a rep recently, who was very blunt when I told her of the problems we were having and that the techs who were suppose to had called me never called. She told me "well seems nothing can be done, that's why they never called you".
