"Cingular - fewest dropped calls"... NOT! Within my apartment and within 5 miles of it, calls drop constantly, usually after 10-20 minutes. "Network unavailable" errors prevent outgoing calls 5-10 minutes after drop. This happens daily. In this area, Sprint / Nextell was even worse; I was unable to receive calls or place them with unacceptable frequency, ie daily. 6 calls to Cingular customer support have been useless. they have so suggestions, no solutions, and no explanation except this: one tech person said that Cingular towers were simply operating at maximum capacity, and could not handle the network traffic in this area. Nothing can be done until more Cingular towers are built or acquired. I am shopping for a new wireless carrier, and hoping this area is not the Bermuda Triangle or wireless service.

I always get 5 bars in and around oaklawn, Uptown, downtown. Including Central Expressway and Tollway. Only bad areas in metroplex are some parts of Highland Park and all of Hillcrest Ave. from Lovers Lane to LBJ 635.

At my office in Galleria Towers, and anywhere in the Dallas Galleria, the reception is lousy to non-existent. Phone spends all day running down the battery as it cycles in and out of service. Coworkers experience the same with various Verizon phones.

I couldn't believe when I moved to this new location, that I would not be able to use my cell phone inside my house! Verizon, can you hear me now????

I have been unable to get Sprint reception in or around Casa Linda Shopping Center for the past 3 years. I have called Sprint repeatedly without any resolution, follow-up, or explanation offered. This location is the highest point in the immediate vicinity, across the street from an 8-story hospital covered in satellite dishes and antennae. Sprint says they have numerous cells in the area. I've been asking others who do get reception who their carrier is (T-Mobile, Cingular) so that I can change providers and be more assured of getting a signal so close to home.

This location is not to bad, on top floor of a two story apartment complex and when I had GSM service it was real bad. My new phone CU500 uses 3G and this seems to work much better.

In my apartment complex, I get 0 bars. My phone is worthless on the T-Mobile or Cingular network here, so I'm having to completely change my own and my wife's cell plans to compensate. It's almost a complete dead zone for T-Mobile at home; even with a better phone.

I've had practically NO service from Sprint in this area... until I bought another phone through their upgrade program. What a difference! Now I have consistent service with a minimum of 4 bars! But I have to believe that Sprint finally placed another antenna in the North Oak Cliff area and that's why service has improved greatly around here. Actually, this phone rocks! I travel a lot and seldom find myself without a signal. I also have a Cingular phone that I have no trouble getting a full 5 bars out of here in the Kessler Park area. I was told by a friend that the quality of the phones makes all the difference in being able to capture and hold a signal. I believe that is true. The Samsung phones are generally quite reliable. Stay away from Sanyo and Sony / Erikkson and certainly run from Motorola! I tried the Nextel network this past summer and it sucks the big one SO BAD that it's practically worthless. I couldn't get ANY signal here in the N. Oak Cliff area AT ALL! Motorola / Nextel puts out some very expensive phones that are absolutely junk! And I had a very expensive model!

No Reception inside bulidings at all. And outside I can not move are I lose the signal.

Verizon used to have good service in this area but coverage has severely degraded sometime between July-August 2006. Outdoor coverage is below average and indoor coverage is hard to come by!

Customer service notwithstanding, I consistantly have 4 bar coverage throughout Winneka Heights and Oak Cliff in general.

From Dallas to Northern Mexico I have never lost or dropped a call -- really GREAT service.

Very sporadic reception. Sometimes 0 bars, sometimes 3 bars... lots of dropped calls.

no Sprint reception in the mall at all - makes it tough to keep track of teenagers!

Sometimes I get dropped calls, otherwise seems to work well.

My phone drops me all the time, three or four times with the same call. It sucks. I have bought 2 new phones to fix the problem, but it does not help. I am moving to Verizon.

Almost no signal in house. Poor outside.

I can not get any reception in my house at all. If I leave the phone on, the battery runs down quickly because it is constantly looking for service. Reception outside is very spotty. I end up walking all over my yard to try and get even 1 bar. Forget about making or receiving a call in the house. I also have the same problem when driving in the area around White Rock Lake. If you live in Lakewood do not buy Sprint. Customer service is useless. It is not a company worth dealing with to have phones that can not be used.

Coverage stinks... often get no network, terrible
