Samsung SPH-A640
Bent Tree North - Frankford and Tollway / Frankford and Spyglass, Dallas, TX 75287 Mon Jun 16, 2008

I've been with Sprint for a number of years now, and have had relatively few problems with both phones and service right up until buying a Samsung A640, which a Sprint rep described to me as an amazing phone that has plenty of good and helpful attributes / capacities, one of which was its quality of connectivity. At this point, I want to buy a gun and just go to town on this phone. It drops about 9 out of every 10 calls, and gets absolutely zero reception in my office in my house, where a huge majority of my calls are made - frustruates the hell out of me. Each time I receive a call in my office (if it's actually received and my phone rings!), I end up out in the street wandering around in an attempt to keep up with the signal, but it usually ends up with me having to call the person back 5-6 times (or me using my land line instead) each conversation because the call is dropped so freakin' consistently, even when the phone indicates anywhere from 2-5 bars. Also, if I start a call with the phone showing any connectivity, it seems like as soon as I connect, all the bars just disappear for no reason, even though I nor the phone have changed position / location. I guess I'll just stretch out my throwing arm because the Sprint store where I bought the phone is within throwing distance. The worst thing was when Sprint told me to give them a call every time a call was dropped so my account wasn't charged for the call; problem is is that I can't even call them without the call being dropped!

AT&T has recently started dropping calls around this area - Notoriously. I have been experiencing this for the past few weeks, prior to that it was fine. I've seen similar reports on this forum. Recently, my calls drop 100% of the time when entering this horrible dead zone. The zone continues all the way to (at least) trinity mills and Vail, and will occasionally drop calls when stationary on Vail St.

Midway Hollow / Midway and Marsh, Dallas, TX 75220 Tue Oct 30, 2007

Terrible reception in this neighborhood with AT&T / Cingular. Been bad for the entire 5 years I've lived here. Not sure why, as towers are located on either side of quadrant, but the bottom line is, coverage stinks anyway. Problem is, no one else has any better coverage here. You can be certain that the 1st carrier to give great coverage here will inherit a lot of new customers and as quickly as they can opt out of the old plan. It has become a running joke among the neighbors. Outside of our neighborhood, with the possible exception of Central at the M Streets, I have always gotten great coverage. But my wife can clam the same on a different provider. So, we are really just waiting for someone to improve the home reception and that's where we'll sign on.

Sprint installed a new tower about two years ago in this area. Since then, it is extremely rare that any calls are dropped in my house. Much better than wife's At&T recept.

Moved over from Sprint to T-Mobile. The difference in coverage is like night and day. I have yet to encounter a dead spot in reception, I even have decent coverage in the parking garage at work.
