The phone did not work at all. I am very upset! I couldn't make a call.

Reception is terrible outside a few buildings on Memorial drive. It is apparent that Cingular does not support 1900 MHz very well and uses 850 MHz which in truth is good for rural areas requiring fewer towers. Cingular needs to step up and at least be as good as an average cell phone provider in getting rid of obsolete technology and move to 1900MHz as a standard.

Great reception in Medical Center (77030) but poor to non-existent inside my ground-floor apartment. It's fine at my mother's across the driveway--she's on the 2nd floor. Possibly corrugated iron carport roofs are interfering with reception.

With Cricket I get 2-3 bars inside of my house and on 1960 and 1-45 I get all bars. Works great in Downtown Houston.

Very happy with reception. When I first moved here I had Cingular, and Sprint is slightly better. Even works in some elevators in the Med Center.

Keep getting dropped here on every call. On the Sanyo RL-4920(1st line), I can make and receive phone calls half the time but get dropped easily. On a Sanyo VI-125(2nd line), the Sanyo VI-125 has trouble making and receiving calls most of the time. Signal is good along major freeways but weak inside the office at Westheimer and Briarpark Dr. in the Westchase area.

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?

Once I leave the house, no dropped calls. Spotty service in 3 out of 4 corners of home office.

Inside apt (Village on the Lake at NASA 1 and Space Center Blvd), we get 0-1 bar, must go outside for service, at which point we get barely enough for short conversations. Worst customer service one can imagine, incompetent at best.

My apartment is about 300 feet from a cell tower which has 4 carriers on it. I receive one bar on my cellphone. Also, the same along Briar Forest and Memorial. My friend's Verizon phone has full bars.

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.

Ever since Sprint acquired Nextel I have more dropped calls than not. I signed a two year contract with Nextel based on a higher quality of service in the Heights. Now, Sprint will not let me out of the contract. Where is the FCC when we need them?

This comment is for 3G reception (broadband card for laptop). Half the time it works okay; the other half it switches to the much slower EDGE network. If I drive to Longenbaugh and 6, though, the reception is great.

I continually get dropped calls within my house so I switched to a Blackberry on Cingular. Now I get reception but the Blackberry is terrible, very bad static, everyone complains. I want Sprint to fix this problem!

Signal will vary from non-existant to 5 bars without reason. Many times it will ring through to voice mail without any indication of an incomming call. There are two towers nearby, it's like the transmitter is going off and on. Most days its impossible to make a business call. Today, however I had a great connection for over 90 minutes 2PM-3:30PM 7 / 7 / 2006 Data card acts the same.

As was coming from I-10 to Barker Cypress, by Saum head to Greenhouse the call drop. I guess it must be the phone because friends and relations that have Cingular service with phone that have Antena does not have these drop call issues.

I just changed service from T-Mobile to Cingular on 6 / 8 / 06 whose service / reception was great. With T-Mobile in the office I get reception, but with Cingular can't get reception in my office except I go outside into the open. The calls even drop, had to redial several times on one conversation you imagine the mess and hassle. Even on the road (Hempstead, Pinemont, Clay / Beltway8) the calls drop I only changed to Cingular because of the roll-over if not T-Mobile service was great. But it look as if am going to re-think.

Had Cingular but lost phone and company switched to ATT. Reception with Cingular was bad at home and at work but wonderful everywhere else. New ATT phone miserable too. Works all over the world but not at my house. Cingular says if I upgrade to a Cingular phone I will get better reception but of course cant do that till my contract is out. Have hated ATT for years. Now I can hate Cingular too... ... ... .

Reception comes and goes, mostly goes. Strong signal for a few minutes, then "no service". No service is much more common.

Poor reception in and around Clear lake City Blvd.since 2001 on different GSM phones. Reception in my home which is in this immediate area is weak and unreliable. Carrier states that my zone is in between areas of moderate and high coverage. WTF is that supposed to mean?

Neither my wife (TDMA) nor I (GSM) get any reception from Cingular in or near our home. The 6820 has a strong radio, but doesn't pick up a signal that isn't there.
