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.
I have very good reception, 4 bars, outside of my apartment but I only get one bar inside of my apartment. A lot of people tease me about ahving Cricket but my service has been very good. Previously I had subscribe to almost every carrier expect NexTel.
I get 0 to 2 bars inside my house. Well actually I get 3-4 bars when not using the phone, but as soon as I push talk it drops to 0-2 bars. Always the call is dropped or the call goes in and out. Very embrassing for business! I am FUSTRATED with Sprint as they cannot help me at all. Our contract ends in September and we will switch. I highly do NOT recommend Sprint in the Meyerland Area!
I have had Verizon, and Sprint and Cingular / ATT in this house and Cinglar / ATT has been the best reception not only here but in office buildings in the different "downtows" of Houston as well as on the road. I don't use the internet much on the phone but we like the rollover minutes (are they going away?) and the family plan plus calling between people on this network is unlimited. I remember when Houston Cellular switched to Cingular and its coverages was really bad and had tons of dropped calls. It is much better since then, but now that it is ATT I am sure they will try to tweak the number of consecutive calls on their antennas and service could drop. Hope they don't.
I Have Sprint.In La Porte I only get 1 bar. I cant place a call over here. But in downtown I get all my bars on my cell. In My Home In Houston I get 2 or 3 bars. I can place and receive calls, but I get static sometimes. Overall I like Sprint but I prefer AT&T wireless.
I avareage 3 bars even inside my home. I have never missed a call unless I ignored it. Gota say love this phone I download MB every day from the internet and talking is a dream.
Outside the building I get 4 bars easy, sometimes 5. Inside I get 2 which is incredible seeing as Im inside a concrete and steel building with no windows at atleast 2' thick walls. MCC
I never seem to have a problem around my house. No dropped calls and full signal. This is important because my kids need to be able to get hold of me when they are out.
