Great, strong phone. Works better than other phones I have had (ATT) as long as I am in service area.

My signals are constantly on the move. I sit in my living room I get one bar half the time. I stand up and I loose all signal. I had full service anywhere else in the house and outside. I do get alot of droped calls. The signal was great until the merge then it seems it went from full 5 bars to 3. I recently changed my phone number and now it seems the best I can get anywhere is 3.

This square in the SW corner of Int 30 and 820 has yielded no signal or one bar since moving summer 03. Called and was told a new tower was going up at Meadowbrook and 820 in summer of '04. If this happened, it hasn't made any change to reception. Wondering if it has something to do with big Channel 11 tv tower. But, Cingular and Verizon reception is fine, you get multiple bars all day long. I need to call again but it's such a whip to file a ticket and go through the motions. Really is not right to pay for 2000 min a month that we can't use at home and we are stuck in the contract.

All I get is great reception everywhere I go, until I get out in the boon-docks where no one really gets anything! but still then I get at least 1 bar and I never drop a call but maybe 2 max a month!

My Motorola V265 and LG VX6100 both get full signal.

Never have a problem with reception anywhere in the Fort Worth area. I spend probably 90% of my time out there. If you use sprint, only get a sanyo phone. They only make phones for sprint from what I've found out, so their phones are tuned to the sprint network better than others, I feel. Hope this helps anyone.

One mile up the road is a Cingular store with excellent coverage.

AT&T's new GSM isn't all they say it is. I called the store asking what the deal is, is it my new phone is a lemon or are they having technical problems in the area? They said don't worry its just a glitch in the system no worries. I'm now going to Verizon.

Cingular TDMA - This phone gets great reception in most areas. A few lower areas seem to be lacking, and if enough time passes might even drop a call, but mostly this phone works without issue. Indoors can be a bit spotty, but this really depends on your dwelling (materials, etc.) Receive and make calls without isse, possible dead spots if moving through low areas, but mostly good! 3-4 bars indoors, and up to 5 outdoors depending on area.

Cingular GSM Seems that this phone works, and seems to get good reception out here (a few spot areas with bad reception in low areas) which is a surprise since GSM is slow to come to this area. I recently switched from a TDMA phone to GSM dreading the results, but I have been pleasantly surprised. Remember there could be bad spots in low areas but otherwise in a standard area, not moving very much it seems to work well indoors (3-4 bars), and much better than expected outdoors.
