I'm on the top of North Beacon Hill. Got to stay upstairs, near the window. Calls drop downstairs.

Rarely a dropped call; have been quite satisfied with cell reception at home and throughout the city. Really happy with the in-person customer service at the T-Mobile store at South Center. Online service only okee dokee - took us a long time and a few repeated requests to get our plan adjusted.

I switched from AT&T and the iPhone to T-Mobile and the MyTouch 3G in August of 2009. BIG MISTAKE! Somehow I thought that corporate headquarters being in Bellevue would make reception perfect. WRONG! Nothing but issues since then. Dropped calls, crappy customer support, I get zero service in Qwest Field, Husky Stadium, and Safeco Field. I live on Capitol Hill and I get constant dropped calls. Phone switches from 3G to EDGE to GPRS even when it's stationary. T-Mo reps have no answer and just don't care. ETF or not, I'm out! This is the worst cell / data reception I've ever experienced and remember I was with AT&T. That should clue you in on the horrendous service that T-Mobile has.

I used to get great reception wherever I went with tmobile. What is going on lately calls are dropping all the time. Called customer care and a tech is coming out. This is so frustrating!

I barely get reception anywhere in my home here using T-Mobile, having to literally hold the phone at the Window in one room. I also lose reception by Paramount Park. Today I borrowed a co-workers Boost Mobile phone and not only did it work sitting at the kitchen table but also worked fine in the BASEMENT! I drove to the park where T-Mobile dies, and Boost worked perfectly again. Yes, I'm shouting it out because tomorrow I drop T-Mobile and get a Boost Mobile phone!

I am swithcing to AT&T! Everyone gets reception all around me and I never get it unless in town. So annoying!

Ok, let me just state that I went over to T-Mobile from Sprint just last week. I was a Sprint customer for 11 years but sh#t hit the fan recently so I jumped ship and grabbed the Nexus One by Google. I figured since T-Mobile's N.A. HQ are here that I would / should get great reception. Most places it's ok but I get 0 - 1 bars at my new home at best. My Sprint phone, it's still active for a few more days, gets 2 bars consistently. I can't make a call with my new service for more than 10 seconds before the call is dropped. I've never had that problem with Sprint. It's very frustrating as now I've been looking at buying an expensive cell signal booster so I can call in my home. It's ridiculous! T-Mobile needs to get it straightened out. From the other posts it's been 3+ years of poor reception. And I though AT&T was bad

I live in a community in burien called hurstwood. It is right by the water. There is great reception at the top of the hill... but as you wind your way down the hill to our community you watch the bars drop faster than tiger's credibility. I do not even have enough signal to get a repeater. Sucks!

Tmobile is crap in northern Ballard. I used to live below 65th and never understood when friends complained about black holes of coverage in Ballard, but then I moved. My boyfriend has a crackberry (also tmobile) and has trouble at his house too, it's so frustrating. I'm not under contract any more and am looking into the choices.

Great T-Mobile reception in the International District? Are you kidding me? I'm at the public library at 713 8th avenue south in the heart of the international district and my prepaid Samsung phone has NO SERVICE! I advise anyone to steer well clear of T-Mobile. Do not buy the hype! They are WORST provider in the industry. Steaming back from Alaska two years ago, middle of Gulf of Alaska, everybody has two or three bars but stupid T-Mobile. Run away from this company!
