Fewest dropped calls - yeah right. It is torture to try to have a decent phone conversation. Don't even think about picking up the phone if you are inside, near hills, or driving. Not to mention the multiple whole network blackouts I've experienced lately. I will never again own a Motorola phone or have a Cingular plan.

Ever since the thunderstorms on May 4th the phone will not ring for incoming calls, or call out consistently. Sprint technichal service says that coverage wasn't affected but reset the tower preference. Other Sprint users that I've talked to in Austin have reported similar problems.

Coverage drops out all over town. Great if your on a freeway overpass... .otherwise I am more than dissapointed. It used to be fantastic with the old AT&T.

Cingular has gone down hill for me. I run a business through my phone and it is getting harder each day. I usually only get one to two bars in lakeway. I am switching to nextell soon.

Since updating phones, reception in this area is minimal. I can not receive or talk on the phone inside the house without dropping calls. I can go to my patio and if I restart the phone and stay in one place on my patio I may be able to end my call without being dropped. Have called Cingular regarding this problem and there seems to be nothing they are willing to do to asist. I have four phones through Cingular and two on the contract are due to expire this month. Have been looking at changing to T-Mobile or Verizon if Cingular will not take remidy to this situation.

2 Out of 5 (2 stars) | West 35th St. | Mopac, Austin, TX 78703 |

I've had this service for a month now and I'm finding that in this area I don't get more than 3 bars at any one time. I fades out between 2 an 3 bars and I have experienced several call drops. I called Verizon and they said I had a tower 1 / 2 mile from me but it would have to be line of sight for a better reception (imagine that!)
