We live in a new development in the Villages of Westcreek and there are times I can't make a call when I am in my house. If I am outside I can make calls, the single gets stronger the closer I get to 1604, but I prefer to make calls in my house, not driving to the highway.
I have T-Mobile. The reception near Stone Oak / Hardy Oak intersection is bad. Frequent dropped calls there. In the neighborhood near Hardy Oak Elementary, the reception is very bad. I can't have a conversation on my cell phone, and must use a land line, unless I'm standing in just the right location.
Actually, I always get lots of reception bars, but also lots of dropped calls. My old Sprint PCS service almost never dropped calls from the same location (interior of my home).
Rarely any dropped calls, usually only when talking to people using sprint... clear reception, haven't had any complaints with Cingular and I've been with them for more than 4 years.
If you are planning on using your phone in the Shenandoah subdivision, you may be in for a disappointment. In the eastern side of the subdivision (Big Meadows, Goshen Pass, Ramsgate), there is virtually no signal; I literally could not activate my phone at first because it kept saying "No Service." You are lucky to get one bar on a good day, and at least half of the time there are no bars at all. The closer you get to I-10, the better the reception becomes; I noticed the signal jumped to full strength in the northwest corner of Shenandoah and all along the interstate. However once you move about a block (if that) away from the interstate, you enter a black hole. I'm having to return my phone after a week because of this; I'll try Verizon next to see if it's any stronger.
I get good reception everywhere but at my house. At home, calls drop frequently unless I stand in my driveway. Everywhere else calls are pretty stable and clear. Only dropps when I'm in a low spot.
I have been with T-Mobile for awhile bt after I moved here I realized that I do not get service at my home. I don't have a ground line phone because I always use my cellular, but now I am stuck in contract with no phone and a high bill.
This is one place where you can expect to drop a call, especially the farther down outside of Potranco you go. There is one place in particular that is after the first set of flashing lights, right down that hill it is guaranteed to drop your call.
