Anderson Mill / RR 620, Austin, TX 78750 Wed Oct 29, 2008

Signal strength jumps from 0 to 5 bars while the phone is stationary. Network jumps form [E]dge to [3G] while the phone is stationary. Calls drop routinely. Inbound calls fail to ring the phone. Inbound messages fail to appear at the phone. Most often, power cycle (on-off-on) will cause "missed call" and "new message" displays for whatever did not arrive the first time. AT&T customer service admitted that this location is "shaded" according to their engineers.

45th / Duval, Austin, TX 78751 Thu Oct 23, 2008

Sprint claims there's coverage, but there is none. If I'm anywhere near my apartment, I can't get calls or, if by some miracle a call comes in, it typically doesn't last any more than 5 minutes, if that, before the signal gets dropped. If it weren't for the stupid 2yr contract, I'd cancel immediately.

Webberville, Austin, TX 78721 Thu Sep 18, 2008

Does AT and T even have towers in Austin? I would think not from the reception that I get. Most calls are dropped, and before I bought another phone (it appears the one that came with my plan was made to self-destruct about a month before my contract was up), the only reception that I could get was inside of my house.

Debba Dr. / Hwy. 620, Austin, TX 78734 Tue Sep 09, 2008

I now expect to have each and every call dropped. Even if call successful, full of static, voice of person on other end comes in and out.

321 Nautilus Ave. / Lakeway Blvd. and Lower Nautilus, Austin, TX 78738 Fri Jul 18, 2008

Inside the house, calls can be received (phone rings about 1 / 2 the time), but cannot have a conversation. 1 / 2 block up the street at the intersection of Lower Nautilus and Lakeway Blvd. there are 3 or 4 bars and reception is usually adequate.

T-Mobile service has been superb. With other carriers I have experienced unclear calls, problems making calls, and dropping calls. Since starting to use T-Mobile, my experience has improved dramatically.

183 and Oak Knoll / McNeil, Austin, TX 78729 Tue Jun 24, 2008

I live in the oak knoll / mcneil area and I get perfect coverage inside my duplex and outside... . NO dropped calls and perfect reception. Funny that I put in my zip code for T-Mobile and was weary that I wouldn't get good reception according to their map, but I haven't had one problem thus far!

I can get very limited reception on the sidewalk in front of my house; in the house, not even that.
