Absolutely awful 3G connectivity in this area. T-Mobile phones like my own(HD2) and guests with a range of other makes and models seem to indecisively hop from the various types of towers in this area, which makes for a sketchy at best internet experience. Calls dropped on a regular basis. T-Mobile service in this area is a nightmare. Proceed with caution.

Sometimes drops calls (1 out of 8 or so). Data is slow though. btw Also comcast internet is terribly slow in the heights. So is Clear, when many people get on in the evenings.

No reception, or a lot of dropped calls whenever you do get reception. I have been with T-Mobile for many many years, and this is the worst ever. I no longer have contracts with them, so I might look for something better if this doesn't clear up soon.

Excellent Tech support (Thanks Tom) and customer service. My I-Phone 4 (officially unlocked - $1000 from UK - I just hate contracts) works great except the Data channels for 3G / 4G not compatible with T-Mobile. I only get 2G service for Data speeds. It should be OK for everyone if they merge with AT&T (not less than 1 year).

I have had pretty good luck with my T-Mobile G1 for over a year now. Signal is nearly always strong and clear. Occasional Data issues, but I expect every service to have a few hiccups. Customer Service has always been very good as well.

Get bad reception wish there was another tower..cuz me and my fiance dont get much reception in neighter homes.

I get Zero to 1 bar if lucky on my Apartment. Wished they can make another tower near that area and also on my fiances house too I get harly any bars. and he lives 7 mins away from me!

Can't depend on this bleep bleep blackberry bold 9700 for anything. Must get my land line back in case of emergency. Hardly "zip" for making calls anywhere else in the apt. except to stand by window (if lucky it works). Lots of dropped calls. Making calls - phone won't ring unless try several times. Lots of missed calls - phone never rang. It's only a few months old, now the battery won't hold a charge. I hate to say it, but TX coverage with T-Mobile really does stink! I am sick of paying $147 a month for 2 useless "pieces of garbage" T-Mobile phone's. My son is on my a / c with a G1, which isn't much better! When he is at my place, he has to go outside for decent reception.

I always lose reception and get the SOS signal when I drive through Memorial park area. Also I get dropped calls or calls failed message when trying to dial in any part of Houston. I am not sure if it is the Bold 9700 issue or is it just t mobile altogether.

My internet is d only thing that works at time n that's cause its wit att. Damn T-Mobile towers always down, useless phone, unreliable service. 1 more yr thats it 4 me

For the 3 weeks, every other calls is either staticy or the caller is unable to hear me. I've called T-Mobile (611) and they said they are unaware of any problems. Weird, since it's happening to everyone I know that has T-Mobile in Houston.

OMG... I've been with T-Mobile since they were Aerial as well (since 1998) to be exact and I'm so upset with the lack of service I've been getting. My cell is my only means of communication and people tell me all the time that they have to call me 7-8 times before it rings... .otherwise, it goes to vmail. Don't EVEN get me started on their broadband... ... .

I consistently have calls drop. I have contacted T Mobile and requested a boost which seems to have worked for awhile but now is as bad as ever. Not sure if a better quality phone would help (I've used low-end Nokias). However, have had friends over with better quality phones (also on T Mobile network) and they have calls dropped as well.

No reception on TMOBILE. Looking for a carrier that works in Memorial

no reception, when you do get reception it is very poor - you have to be outdoors in a certain spot with out moving, like a robot. you have to search for the magic spot to get reception.

Can't get reception in home. Dropped calls have increased over the past 6 months everywhere in the WEst NW side of town. Can't deal with it any longer.

T-Mobile doesn't work at my house in Champions Creek, which is all the way North on Champions Dr. where Champions Golf Course and Raveneaux Golf Course meet. I've called T-Mobile and they are aware of the issue, but have no immediate fix. I am probably going to switch to Cingular or Verizon based on the posts.

Rarely get reception. Once in a while it will be 1 or 2 bars, but most of the time I get 0! :-(

Good reception with T-Mobile no dropped calls

When I had Verizon I would lose service near the most interior walls. Now that I'm with T-Mobile (for 2yrs.) I get full bars in and out. You should never have to step outside you home to talk on your cell.

Its a 50 50 chance that my cell will either lose reception or disconnect calls. Before I had a razor and I lost connection every single time I went past us 90 going South on the Belt toward Wallisville. Since I changed phones to a Samsung blast I don't have that problem any more, if u have problems with your T-Mobile I advise you complain, or change phones.

Excellent and consistent coverage indoors and out all over Houston (except at the 610 / Memorial Drive / RR tracks intersection by Memorial Park, where nobody I know of gets reception) as well as in Boston, New York City, Montreal, Seattle, Miami and their broad environs. Even works seamlessly in elevators. Only reception problems are in deep interiors of buildings built heavily of concrete. However, have had problems with customer service overseas and with handsets evidently designed to break down four months before the end of 2-year contracts.

Reception is never a problem inside or outside of my office building / parking garage... I can even continue a phone call while riding the elevators, without any dead pockets. People are always astonished and ask me quite frequently who my carrier is.

Never anything less than 100% service with T-Mobile, for 18 mos. running. Phones have worked without fail everywhere in the Houston area, Austin area, and down the coast to Corpus. Big improvement over Cingular's unpredictable service.

lately t mobile has sucked, have been a customer for years, when they were ariel, tonight I can't even call them nor do they respond to my email

Signal drops when you get on the Ship Channel going either direction.

Signals OK outside... but as soon as I step into my office building... its wiped away! Other than this building... never had peoblems before... anywhere. No dropped calls.

2 bars outside and 0 inside the home

T-Mobile added a site in this area and my coverage improved greatly. The Waste Management land fill on fairbanks impacts coverage for most carriers because the land fill is so high.

Inside my house, I never get more than 2 out of 5 bars. A lot of times, I cannot get a call to go out, and calls never last more than 10-15 minutes before they are dropped. T-Mobile has got to improve its coverage in this developing neighborhood.

cannot get reception in parts of the library and when I do its really weak

Why now after good reception for 9 months ?

I've had several Nokia's and a Samsung. All the phones usually got 2 bars.

I get 5 bars reception in my house but I got 0 bar inside the downtown tunnel or inside IAH Terminal C building. First, I thought tunnel is underground blocks the signal. But I could see other people talking on their cell when I lost my signal. It is the same 0 bar signal inside the IAH C building for my phone as well as my son's, Nokia 6101 until I get into the walkway to Terminal D or E to get signal back. But I saw other people talking into the building without any problem. Why?

T-mobile service has been horrible. People calling my phone have gotten not in service messages non stop! I've called at least 4 times over the last six months with no resolution. I even swithched phones.

Good reception all the time {:) My brother has Nextel he only get 2 bars Loser!

I have not had any coverage problems with cell phnes in this area, Indoor or out. I get 4 bars of signal strenght in this area exactly as the T-Mobile coverage map says I should and have not had any problems

I have to said that T-Mobile has an amazing network in the sugarland area. It is also amazing in major highways. Reception is spotty in North Houston. However, the network is horrible inside buildings. T-Mobile is horrible in city where there were many tall buildings such as New York City.Well, I guess other GSM carrier are the same when it comes to reception inside buildings and rural area. Overall, GSM coverage in the USA needs a lot of improvement. When I travel to Asia and Europe, I found their GSM network much better than the USA, because I get reception pretty much everywhere including subways, basement, buildings and even rural areas. Europe seems to have the best network.

I use my cell phone mainly in the northwest Housotn area. I've had little or no trouble from The Woodlands to Pasadena, from Hempstead to Southwest Houston. I'm surprised to read the less than satisfactory experience T-Mobil users are having. I couldn't be happier however all I use it for is making and receiving calls. My boss has a more expensive model and seems to have problems quite often. I didn't think the phone make or model would make that much difference, but reading these and other revirews for T-Mobile, I am beginning to beleive the phone make and model can make a big difference.

i dont know what could have possibly gone wrong with the other guy who has the same exact location as I do, but T-Mobile is awesome here... I dont know maybe their phone isnt working but I get great reception here and everywhere around here. I am very pleased to have tmobile

I've never had any dropped calls at all, and I do a good bit of travelling in the Houston area. I usually get 4 / 4 bars outdoors, and at least 2 indoors, except for that occasional dead spot. Recently, I've seen signal strength improve in some previous dead spots, so they must be making progress. Great network!

Have had to be forced to stay in my contract for 1 year and can not use my cell phone while at work! Sucks... .

I'm trying to run a business with my T-Mobile. It seems the signal has dropped off signficantly in the last 4 months. I can't get or send calls from the house most of the time. I have a one year contract but a new phone. This was to be the phone I anchored my business around! I am very dissapointed. I have worked with at the tech line to reset it, etc. Not one bit better!

Around Barker-Cypress and behind the elementary school coverage on T-Mobile is poor - lots of dead cells. We can turn a corner and go from 2 - 3 bars to nothing and then the call comes back a half-block or two later after the phone switches encryption off.

I get all my bars all the time. The sidekick II usually requires a large amount of reception power, making it hard to find a spot where there is a high number of bars. The sidekick doed great with this. But I dont see any cell phone towers! where are they?

i never really have a problem with reception with t-mobile. the only thing is every once in a while a person's voice gets choppy but I think it might be their phone cause i'll look at my bars and they're all up. also when i'm in tilt at the galleria I don't have any bars at all so I can't make or receive calls. I haven't noticed that happening anywhere else. I chose T-Mobile because out of all the other companies it seemed to have the best reception and the company who gives you the least problems.

No problems indoors or out. Even works in the tunnel for the most part.

great reception, no drop calls, always have 5 bars, even around medical center. Maybe I just have a great phone with a really good antenna.

Bad reception as you go east away from heights blvd. have to stand outside to have conversations. Always. Any phone.

can't make or receive calls from my home or office. Didn't have this problem with Virgin Mobile.

Yeha the signal is full. But some time (especially nights) I can’t make or receive calls. IT says Circuits are busy! Don’t know why? While for my friends they got several problems with same model and service. They have to talk only on Speaker Phone... even in public.

Always drop calls when BW8 and getting near Memorial.

i need to get to the setting to download ringers for my phone

The reception in the neighborhood is almost impossible. Once out, the reception seems to be quite good. Does Ellington Field have anything to do with this?

Reception will change by several bars between Memorial and Katy Freeway, Eldridge and Hwy. 6.

Switched to T-Mobile a few years ago since Sprint seems to lose the signal in my house. My friends who currently have sprint have also switched to T-Mobile because of reception problems in the Heights area.

I get really good reception here at UH, unless it is inthe library, in which case, it's practically always network search.

Two notches on reception for a good day, poor reception almost always. AT&T, Verizon poor also. T-Mobile promised 11 months ago to resolve reception in 6 months to get me to resign. They lied, I'm gone. Going to Cingular, has best reception in this area.

I live near Hobby airport and reception is horrible, I get no reception at HCC Central.

I have had T-Mobile for the past 2 years and have never had any reception problems with their service. I absolutely love their Customer Service Representatives they are great at helping customers with their service issues and everything else. I would never go to another carrier.

Very erratic - 0 - 2 at home. Constantly losing connection. Calls fail constantly. Customer service basically a "tough for you" - nothing we can do. Worse phone servece we've had (Cingular and Verizon were much better).

No reception when in building with metal roof.

Very good reception. In and around the area. Clear calls and strong signal

I was quite surprised that I would get such good reception on T-Mobile in the Memorial area of Houston, TX. Reception is notoriously bad here, but the reception is as good as cingular and verizon. Inside my house, no reception, but I never got cingular reception either. Verizon is the only carrier that works inside my house. In my office building on Memorial, reception is good. Overall, I'm very pleased!

Many calls are cut-off, especially when I am talking to other cellular phone users. The "dead-zone" happens to be the neighborhood that I live in which is less than 4 miles from the Downtown area. Everywhere else, the reception is almost 5 out of 5.

Average outdoors, but below inside my house.
