I just moved to Austin from Colorado Springs There Cingular was decent with some but acceptavle dropped calls, but the thing is that places were that was happening were predictable Around Austin it is horrible, the bars are dancing up and down (mostly down) and I get no reception in many places The worst is that sometimes I see 5 bars but as soon as I try to place or answer a call boom, zero... gone! I have 4 more months on my contract and then asta la vista baby cingular

Mon Aug 14, 2006 |
cropped calls at 360 and Mopac. People tell me I sound like I am talking with marbles in my mouth whenever I talk and drive on Mopac. After 3 treo 650's, maybe it's not the phone, but the carrier responsible for most of my reception issues.

Reception with Cingular is fine. Verizon is slightly less but still acceptable, and T-Mobile is a zero.

Tue Aug 01, 2006 |
In my house I tend to get between 1 and (rarely) 3 bars. This doesn't stop Sprint from dropping calls CONSTANTLY! In the evening it generally drops calls in less than a minute. Even outside on the deck calls get dropped. The worst thing is that the phone gives no audible notice that a call has dropped, so you happily continue talking until the long silence clues you in.

I'm on the old ATT TDMA Network. I get reasonable reception most of the time. UNFORTUNATELY, I am told that Cingular is dismantling this network

Very bad reception along North Hills from Mesa Dr. to Wood Hollow. At my house near North Hills and Mesa, I am roaming much of the time. Toward Mopac, reception starts to pick up about Hart Ln. My wife's Sanyo 8200 gets a little better reception (she's roaming less - about 20% of the time) and reception is adequate sometimes.

Us 290 West / Congress To Hays County Line, Austin, TX 78704 |
Sun Jul 23, 2006 |
I've been on the ATT / Cingular GSM network since 9 / 04. In the past month (7 / 06), the reception on US 290 between Congress and the Travis / Hays county line has been non-existent. Phone shows 3 to 5 bars; calls receive a "we don't recognize your number on our network, please dial 611 for service" message. At the local Cingular retail store I was offered the option to sign for a new 2-year agreement to be on the Cingular network. The ATT TDMA network is being taken out of service. I need a new phone, SIM card and contract to get service. I'll wait 2 months for my contract to expire, and try the TMobile network. I need GSM for service in UK.

Quinlan Park and Lake Austin, Austin, TX 78732 |
Sun Jul 16, 2006 |
Since moving onto the shores of Lake Austin 4 years ago, I have watched Steiner Ranch quadruple in size, all of my neighbors homes are are multi million dollar homes and they are building new neighborhoods on both sides of Quinlan Park road like crazy. You would think that at least one of the carriers would recognize the potential to get all the cell phone business in this area. We have had side by side comparisons of every provider during parties at my house. Not one of the carriers is capable of providing a strong enough signal to make a call. The most we could get is one bar with Cingular but the call drops within seconds. I contacted Sprint and informed them of the growth out here but they don't seem to care. I am forced to rely on lanlines only.

Dropped calls and static is the norm. Have never had clear reception inside house, have to move around house to find halfway decent recption. Spot will vary. When traveling we have found that our backup phone (Tracfone Nokia) is not only more relaiable but gets better reception than Cincular. When our commitment with Cingular is over we'er switching!

360 / Capital of Texas / Spicewood Springs Rd., Austin, TX 78731 |
Thu Jul 13, 2006 |
Been with Sprint 8 years. When I moved to this location my reception was average (owned a Sanyo RL-8700 I believe). Then about 4 months ago I started getting many dropped calls and very poor and often no reception. I purchased a new phone (for other reasons than reception) and I still have horrible reception. I've never experienced this bad of service from Sprint. If fact, I can't remember having a dropped call while in Austin until 4 months ago.

I've used Nextel for 6 years and been completely satisfied. Mostly use cellular service, not too much walkie-talkie. Dropped calls occur about once every 2-3 months. Frequently travel all around Austin, very few spots with out service. Very happy with service, almost never have to call customer service with problems.

Cingular Sucks do not get this service. Reception was much better with ATT. Now I know why there is a Class Action lawsuit filed by former ATT customers.

In the Riata Bldg Complex, this phone / carrier provides terrible service. I know that providers don't offer any sort of service level agreement inside buildings, but I sit right next to a window, and I my reception provides mostly unintelligibly garbage.

Sat Jul 08, 2006 |
Cingular is absolutely horrible at the Hart Lane / Balcones area off of Far West. I have a couple of bars most of the time, until a call comes in. Then it immediately drops to no bars and I can barely hear the person on the call. Cingular has terrible service in this area.

I normally get decent reception outside of my home. In my house, I get between 1 and three bars. I very rarely have a dropped call. I travel domestically and internationally and have good reception anywhere I go with this phone. Cingular customer service is a nightmare to call - buy aren't they all?
