Apartment on the first floor - phone is spotty indoors even near the window (bars fluctuate and chop up your conversation) Reception is better outside.

I barely get reception and it is sporadic even then. I'm on a 3rd floor apartment, too.

I seem to get good reception everywhere in Dallas except where I live, and that's in the 3rd story of an apartment. T-Mobile has decent priced plans, but if it doesn't work, then the cost is irrelevant.

I never get any reception anywhere. This is the worst possible cell phone plan you could get.

Very poor reception, I always get dropped call. It has been like this for many years. Nothing to do with the phone, tried it with many phones on T-Mobile. Also service has gotten noticeably worse in the last few months in general the clarity is not good.

Very poor reception in our home

I travel throughout Lousiana and Mississippi quite often, and most of their towers were knocked out by the hurricane. there are a lot of areas you may have signal but no be able to use it. however, I had my company contact them and got a satellite booster in my truck which sat on the seat. it grabbed signal from a sattelite and turned my truck into a mobile cell tower. I got perfect signal everywhere after that. however, Nextel is supposed to have full coverage back up in those two stated by mid jun of '06. on another note, I have tried several other networks in those areas and the only company I got perfect reception everywhere with was cingular. they has very reasonable plans, and amazing coverage everywhere. they also have a new ptt feature.

reception changes from one room to another, but it is possible to talk for 5-10 minutes and understand it.

Sprint PCS is absolutely worthless in Lakewood. I am lucky to get a single bar at my house. The phone doesn't ring, but somehow manages sometimes to announce that I have a new voice message. More often than not, if I call to retrieve my voicemail, I have to pay for analog charges because I'm "beyond my service area"! From my own house! I bought the phone at the Radio Shack half a mile away! On abrams between approximately Kenwood and Richmond, your call will be dropped, guaranteed. If you live in Lakewood, DON'T SIGN UP WITH SPRINT!

Highland Park I have witnessed always tends to have lousy cell service both for my Nokia and on my previously owned nextel, however I have people telling me they get great service so, it may just be my phone or my luck...

We have had the service for 2 months now and it is as perfect as I could hope for

We great reception with T-Mobile in this area, even in the basement garage of our building. 5 bars all the time. I have found a few dead spots in other parts of town, however.

Call drops no reception inside school buildings. inside Media and Del Rio no reception.

Outside I have to walk around to try to find a spot where I can get reception, and a lot of the time if I find reception in one spot, it'll go away after a few minutes. Phones rarely get reception inside or near any of the buildings. Also, a lot of the time it won't even tell me that I've missed a call and even though the person leaves a voice message, I don't receive it depending on which building I'm in on campus. Right after Cingular switched to gsm I could get reception in the middle of the desert in the middle of nowhere in the Western United States, but I can't get good reception in the middle of a major city.

always good reception - 4 / 5 bars inside my house. Also "Optimal" reception using the T-Mobile / Sony Ericsson EDGE PC card.

I work in a basement of a building and always loos complete reception with Nextel.

Never had any problems inside my townhouse or outside.

half bar inside. two outside Phone useless inside

Not sure what is going on, but service has gotten noticeably worse in the last few months. For example, at home now (off of Oaklawn and Congress), I have to move around the house to get a clear signal. Also, when I drive from downtown Dallas to the airport there are two hard bounces that always knock me off, and that never happened before in the first three years I had the phone. (Well, back then it was with AT&T but now Cingular). One would think one could travel from Dallas to DFW without losing a signal.

Continually losing signal in area.
