T-Mobile 4 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola V300	Burnet / 183, Austin, TX 78757	Thu Aug 19, 2004
T-Mobile 4 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola V300	If you seem to be having problems with T-Mobile Service, you can try several things. Every once in a while every carrier will have network issues, call customer care and see if there is a known issue. If not, have them file a trouble ticket. Also, when getting a phone, stay away from freebie phones, unless recomended by someone other than the sales person. Ask around about reception on certain phones before you buy. Each phone has it's benefits - find one with great reception and service.

AT&T Wireless (TDMA) 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: Nokia 6160i	Parmer Ln. / Dallas Dr., Austin, TX 78729	Fri Aug 13, 2004
	It is like a step into a black hole every time I walk into my house. I think it may be the phone and looking to get a newer phone for the AT&T (GSM) network.

AT&T Wireless (GSM) 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: Nokia 6310i	Boulder / FM 620, Austin, TX 78726	Thu Aug 12, 2004
	Zero to poor reception throughout Canyon Creek.

T-Mobile 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola V300	Duval St. / 45th St., Austin, TX 78751	Wed Aug 04, 2004
T-Mobile 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola V300	I usually get 1 or 2 bars of reception, and have a hard time having a conversation. This is when standing outside. Inside, I get almost no reception. Also, at 51st and Duval I can't get reception inside or outside.

AT&T Wireless (TDMA) 2 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola V60i	Parmer Ln. / Anderson Mill Rd., Austin, TX 78729	Wed Jul 28, 2004
	Reception very poor inside my house. I have to walk around the block in order to get through a call without being dropped.

T-Mobile 0 Out of 5	Westlake High School, Austin, TX 78746	Wed Jul 21, 2004
T-Mobile 0 Out of 5	We've got 4 T-mobile SIMs and different phones (Nokia, Samsung, and some unlocked Asian Panasonics). We got the kids phones so that they can contact us for pick-up from their after school activities. Needless to say, they've got to track down pay phones. I've been in the school parking lot and have been unable to get a signal. This is not a recent issue. It's been an issue for over a year.

T-Mobile 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola V70	Lamplight Village / Parmer and Metric, Austin, TX 78727	Wed Jul 21, 2004
T-Mobile 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola V70	I cannot have a conversation anywhere on Parmer Lane! Given that it is such a busy street these days, seems ridiculous.

T-Mobile 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola V70	Oak Hill / 290 and 71, Austin, TX 78735	Wed Jul 21, 2004
T-Mobile 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola V70	I just can't have a conversation when traveling through Oak Hill! Forget it! The fact that T-Mobile has no analog fall back makes it impossible.

Sprint 2 Out of 5 Phone Model: Sanyo RL-4920	2222 / Woodview Ave., Austin, TX 78756	Tue Jul 20, 2004
Sprint 2 Out of 5 Phone Model: Sanyo RL-4920	Drops calls "signal faded." Shows 1-2 towers with a phantom 3rd that teases me.

AT&T Wireless (GSM) 4 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola V60	Downtown, Austin, TX 78701	Thu Jul 15, 2004
	Never had any problems with AT&T TDMA - sounded great. Switched to AT&T GSM and it sucks! Noticeable static on all the calls. Phone says full signal strength but sounds terrible! Switching back to TDMA.
