I had Sprint for 3 years and could never get a signal inside my home. In sprint's defense my 3-year old Samsung was probably to blame. Anyway I read online that the 850 GSM phones had better reception inside buildings. I try not to believe everything I read, but I couldn't find any information to the contrary and I was willing to try anything to be able to place a call on my cell phone from inside my house (I know that's a novel idea). With the new phone and service, I now get 5-6 out of 7 bars inside my house. I went to a Lowe's where I was ALWAYS on analog roam as soon as I stepped through the door. With the new phone I had 4 out of 7 bars and placed a call to my house out of sheer excitement. It worked like a charm. I've only had the service for a day so I'll post again after the honeymoon is over...

Very good reception in this area. Never had a dropped call. Good reception inside my home and office too.

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).

Average reception in southwest Houston area, good outdoor, poor indoor reception. Most major buildings (even in my apartment) have no reception at all when you get into the building. Outdoor reception is fairly good, usually above average.

AT&T service is horrible on downtown houston. I pay ove $100 per month for AT&T's one rate plan - service anywhere and everywhere - what a joke - I can't make or receiver a call in downtown Houston.

Always get great reception, throughout Houston and College Station.

Constantly loosing GSM network in courthouse as well as TDMA -- but for TDMA 80% of time would have no network. Note: S46 is Multi Mode Phone that switches automatically between GSM (ATT Wireless) and TDMA (ATT)

No reception when in building with metal roof.

Usually only one signal bar in my apartment, constantly dropping calls.

4 Calls to ATT CS and no better for trying.
