Reception in downtown area great. works in elevators and inside buildings. Cingular / ATT's 850mhz has better ability to go thru walls than the other higher cellular frequencies much the same as bass goes thru walls better than treble from your neighbor's stereo.
I live in a second floor unit and I only get 1-2 bars indoors next to window when not using phone. In order to speak on the phone I have to open a door or window to get a signal. I've had someone using a Motorola phone with AT&T service in my apartment and it worked fine in the living room with the patio door closed.
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.
Apartment on the first floor - phone is spotty indoors even near the window (bars fluctuate and chop up your conversation) Reception is better outside.
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.
