Vance Jackson / Big Meadows, San Antonio, TX 78230 Tue Jan 18, 2005

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.

Devonshire Condominiums / Braesview and Larkspur, San Antonio, TX 78213 Tue Dec 21, 2004

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.

AT&T TDMA reigns over GSM in this aspect you can actually carry on a conversation from the top of this Stone Oak hill all the way down and onto Evans rd.

Stone Oak Pkwy. / Evans Rd., San Antonio, TX 78258 Mon Aug 23, 2004

The reception here is ok but calls can drop at times I would say 2/5 times, I would recommend taking caution if you are going to be in this intersection on an important call.

The reception here is actually a whole lot better than expected, it can fluctuate at times especially between Hardy Oak and Evans Rd.

This is a low reception area due to the fact that it is a low spot, most signal drops are around Stone Oak between Hardy Oak, and Evan's Rd.

I just switched to Sprint PCS coverage and it doesn't really seem to be a problem. The signal meter sure fluctuates more than any phone I've ever had but so far no outages or dropped calls.
