GSM reception on this phone is good in the area. However, if I try a Motorola E398 that is set for 1900mhz, it catches AT&T instead and reception is quite poor.
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.
Reception is sproadic at best even though they claim to have towers all around the area. Even the new Sprint PCS Store at loop 610 and Shepperd has difficulty with reception. The Manager is the most vocal about the problem, seconded by the Tech Reps. The Sales staff tells customers that Sprint is not going to change anything further. Question is "What did they change before?" I'm a long time Sprint customer and the service in the past 8 months has deteroiated substantially. Twice in the past 2 days, someone almost got hurt when the Sprint reliability factor was inviked and the phones went to Drop Dead Status. Sorry Sprint, a lot of us complained and you don't want to fix the problem. Time for a change
At home, my service ALWAYS drops off after about 30-40 minutes. It's like there is some allocation of signal strength and when reached, the phone drops to no signal and the call ends. After a few seconds, the signal surges back to 3 / 4 bars. Same thing happens downtown. This has happened with AT&T and now Cingular.
