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 choppy calls. Trying to find a better service now, i'm sick of Cingular

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.

The signal is very poor even when I get out to see if I can get better signal,when I call Sprint to report they blame my cell and tell me togo to the technical suupport,be aware those call center are located in overseas like,India,Phillippines,Mexico and Canada and really is a pain you know where try to fix the problem even technical support by phone are located in India.

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?

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

Never get good reception inside my house. Need to go outside to guarantee decent reception.

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.

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

poor reception transfered from out of market service was better with a out of state area code i also transfered a Nokia d311 pc card modem same thing bad service indoors a nd frequent no service

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.
