I dont get messages that people have left for 1-2 days. Call cust svc, they "refreshed" my plan. Still sucks. I guess you get what you pay for.

Inside home, dropped calls all the time. 0 to 1 bar. Recieve messages from incoming cals hours and days later. Can drive 4 to 5 blocks and get 3 to 4 bars. Sprint says Im in a good reception area but they offer to sell me some additioanl equipment that would improve my reception and then charge me a monthly fee. Wow - Im so impressed with their solution. Have two phones, different models and they both receive same reception. Other visitors can make and receive calls while in my home.

No bars. Just Digital indicator with no bars and sometimes intermittent searching for signal. The worry of dropped calls keeps me on my toes for reception and makes me keep calls as short as possible.

In the beginning it was great but in the past year or so the service has been terrible. Perhaps it could be blamed on my aging phone (I've had it the whole two years of my contract) but I lose at least a third or more of my calls. It seems like I lose reception almost randomly. At times it will be great, some days I have to call people back 3-4 times in a 15 min conversation. That is rediculous for the company with the "fewest dropped calls"! Half of the txt msgs I get come up blank! Phone calls are always getting cut short because I (or the person getting hung up on) get frustrated and give up on the phone for the day. I was in LA a year and a half ago and it was almost the same story. I got my phone a few months before the hurricanes hit and the service hasn't been the same since. I think a year is more than enough time to fix towers! After I moved here, the reception seemed to get worse. I dunno about cingular. I've been with Sprint and their customer service sucked bad enough to make me switch to Cingular and now they and their lies have me looking elswhere. Cingular sucks.

Great phone reception, but I cannot consistently connect to the high speed data network for my aircard. If I travel 2 miles East to CR Blvd.and Westheimer Pkwy, then all is good.

1 bar most times. Frequently the phone doesn't ring, just takes a message and I get a notification of missed call later. Wifes phone is a Sanyo from Sprint, same problem.

Cingular's great. Reception in Old Town Katy isn't as good as it should be, but still no problems. Reception in other parts of Katy is excellent.

Extremely poor reception. Must go outside to use phone. Sometimes voice mail and text messages don't come for 3 or 4 days after sent. Have tried 6 different Motorola, 2 Seimans, lost count of Nokias and even tried a couple of Sonys. My conclusion. All these phone cannot be crap. Must be carrier. Cingular.

If I stand on the second floor and face south towards the tower then I get 1 bar and if I go outside I get between 1 and 2 bars.

Moved to Katy from Deep East Texas (abt 30 mi E of Nacogdoches) and love the cell phone reception around here. No poor reception (inside or out), no dropped calls, no roaming... couldn't ask for anything better! Unfortuately I will miss them, as they do not have a local rep here so I can't change my cell phone # to anything 281 or 713.

I get 4-5 bars inside my house, though sometimes drop to 2 bars in my kitchen. Call quality is great even with 2 bars. Rarely drop a call.

Over 3 year period, still unable to make calls with 4 different Sprint phones from my home on Brant Street.

Often have dropped calls or no signal when traveling on major freeways in Houston. Even calls with another Verizon customer are often dropped in the Katy area.

Having no problems here in the tall pine trees in Pine Forest one block south of intersection stated above. Reception clean both indoors and out. Haven't really checked if I get 4 or 5 bars but signal is good and no problems to report at all. I think the phone itself may have something to do with it as I have had problems with Verizon and AT&T in the past. This phone is a Quad-Band so it gets both analog and digital and satellite and something else. I always had problems with digital signals but never had problems with the old analog. Just something to keep in mind.

Nice reception outdoors, but very poor indoors. Static and dropped calls if I tilt the phone in the wrong direction. And I get to hear myself echo too.

I never get more than two bars here, if I'm lucky. Most of the time its a 1 or 0. I signed a two year contract and the phone drops calls all the time. This is extremely frustrating. I get great reception at work, just not at home, which is the whole reason I have this phone.

My T610 get 2 out of 5 bars while my 3650 got 6,7 out of 7 bars. I have tested Sprint PCS, Verizon and ATT GSM too. Sprint was OK but once a while has drop calls on the highway. Verizon always show full signal, but sometimes the phone logoff from Network. (Samsung A310). That means it showing Verizon Network, but if you call the number, you goto VM directly. The phone can not call out neither, the only way to bring back is power off and On the phone. ATT GSM just weak signal in my house, choped voice.

Sometimes the phone cannot find a network (GSM)

If you stand by the second story window one bar of signal strength will appear.
