Inside mostly no reception as you get Closer to a Window 2-4 bars

Since AT&T bought out Cingular again my reception went from 4 to 1-1.5 bars I staed with ATT 3G network hoping to gain at least 2 bars and they still failed

Here in Terrell, reception with Cingular cannot be beat! No dropped calls, no delays in making calls, and I've been satisfied 100%, so far. I've researched the tower maps for wireless providers and it shows a Cingular tower on Hwy 34 North, just outside the city limits. But I believe Cingular has agreements with other carriers to provide service without incurring roaming charges, I'm sure like other providers. So if anyone is in Terrell and their phone says "Cingular Extend," it's probably because the phone was tucked away in a purse or in a pant pocket. However, with AT&T, a previous provider I had at one time, there's only on tower in town, located near W Moore & Bradshaw. Sitting inside of a home on Meredith or Town North, one signal bar at best, which means very choppy conversation if it's not already a dropped call. Very little reception (one bar) in Elmo, approx 6 miles east of Terrell. In Poetry, north of Terrell, going out FM 1565 from FM 986 toward Royse City, very little reception (Extended Area or Roam), even though we're not billed for it. In summary, Cingular has much better coverage than AT&T in the Terrell area & surrounding rural communities. Of course, weather and atmospeheric conditions play part in the quality of reception, as well.

Very good reception / full signal throughout Terrell.

Absolutely no reception. Calls are always dropped.

Don't let Verizon fool you. There is absolutly no reception in the Post Oak Bend, Texas area. You'd think you live in Petticoat Junction. This is 2012. Also no cable is available.

Verizon Wireless has excellent reception starting west of downtown Terrell, extending further west to the outer city limits. However, from downtown Terrell going east, service is horrible. One bar, maybe two at best. And the Griffith Ave corridor is not much better. During this time, calls are dropped. If not, they are irritably choppy. Unless Verizon invests in tower upgrades in Terrell, I would not recommend their service until that time.

Very bad phone reception. Sometimes it works outside. Text messages are ok.
