The "deeper" I get into the subdivision, the worse reception is. Have very little or no reception inside the house. Recently moved into the neighborhood and until then, had no problems with Sprint reception in Hampton. Will probably have to switch, but not sure which one offers best reception in area.

Outdoors we get 1 bar or sometimes 2, but inside the building - nothing.

The phone is nice, but T-Mobile's reception is pretty poor OUTSIDE my house (1-2 bars). I'm VERY lucky to see 1 bar inside my house on the second floor.

Alltel really needs a more visible store round here so more people would consider them but their coverage is simply the best. I don't have any of the problems my friends have with reception. I've been using Alltel for the past 2 years and am about to get a new phone. But I wanted to write a review of my experience. And it's really a full signal all over Hampton. My best friend has Cingular and he has to borrow my phone all the time. When I try to think of the local hot spots, I get a full signal at Hampton U, at the high school too, at the mall, and Wal-mart. There's no problem areas I can think of and nowhere, not even indoors I can't make a call. If you want a good signal around here with calls that sound good go with Alltel.

Using verizon.I live in the Farmington Section in Hampton near Todds Ln. I get Good to Perfect reception from inside a brick house. My Son has Sprint PCS and a Sanyo cell phone and has very poor reception and lots of dropped calls.

I am less than 2 miles from the Tower at Hampton roads parkway. Open fields between tower and my apartment. I live in ground floor apartment facing the tower. There are no obstructions. I get ZERO signal in my Apartment, Not even near the windows.

No reception near our house and can't talk to husband (also with Verizon but different phone model) when he is one vehicle behind me.

Complete waste of money and time for the 2 yrs I had them. Both in VA and FL. Like the previous person said, they are excellent in NYC but here in VA you have to hold still like a scarecrow as you enter your house.

Pretty disgusted with AT&T's service over all, but more often than not, my service is just one bar... and I live close to a tower! Not to mention that today, I have NO service at all, and because I don't have a landline, I can't even call AT&T to find out what's up, and their site won't let me even email them: it says there's been an error each time I try. I can't wait until my contract is up in December and I can SWITCH providers!

Love the reception and the you upgrade software yourself by dialing in feature but the cost of the service compared to my old plan with same carrier is insane. no dropped calls unless going west in HRBT(Tunnel).
