Dropped every call I had today in my house, absolutely terrible. Will switch back to US Cellular asap.

When I'm at home I get little to no service, and when important people call I get their voicemail about 1 hour later. The service once you hit Okauchee is a little bit better, but not by much.

3-4 bars inside office. If I move my head wrong while on the phone, I lose reception. Also, if I walk outside and stand in the middle of the parking lot, I have 0 bars! It sometimes takes hours to receive voice mails or emails.

Tmobile sucks. Horrible phone reception. Everywhere. My phone says I have bars, but always sounds like crap. I've had this problem with Samsung and Nokia phones to. But very bad with the blackberry.

Can't rely on digital signal to have a conversation. Must switch to analog to get reliable signal. Has been unchanged for past seven years.

You get 1 to 2 bars of receptin no matter the phone. Even with a Cell booster you still get 1 to 2 bars. Verizon must be working off a roaming signal that is also weak. Little if any in building coverage, fair outdoor coverage. It looks as though Verizon and other may need a tower near the Piggly Wiggly at the intersection of P and Lake Drive. Maybe a 100' flag pole near the corner would work.

Cingular provides best signal strength in this dead area. Forget TMobile here.

Very good reception, just as good as Cingular (except for the local bowling alley, still a black hole with U.S. Cellular). Good coverage, some dropped calls, nothing to be discouraged with, but could use some billing help.

Don't make this your landline replacement any time soon. There are quite a few black holes with Sprint in general in Oconomowoc. My house, and my sister's last two apartments to name a few. They seem to concentrate around the major highways and roads (16 / 67 / 94) but watch out for the tall buildings downtown, they might cause your call to be dropped.

Well I got the T610 so I could cancel Cingular, but I'm afraid I'm going to stick with them considering the reception was the worst ever. 1 bar if I was lucky around 95% of Oconomowoc. I finally got full reception at the top of the 16 / 67 bypass, but quickly lost it. I don't think I could honestly live with that, so I'll continue to live with Cingular's billing.

This one is a little outdated, but may help you see a trend with some other people. I had the old 3360 with SunCom originally, and soon they became ATT. That's when the problems started. Receptionwise it was okay, had some problems in some buildings, and some dead areas around Oconomowoc. Otherwise they were pretty good, mostly around the major streets and highways (16 / 67 / 94).

Cingular has the best reception in the area. Even in the local bowling alley that all providers fail, Cingular has good reception. I've only found one troublesome spot with them which is driving past the watertower in Brookfield on Capitol Drive -- We all know this water tower, it's the one where we all get dropped! Now if only Cingular could get their billing straight.

I've had multiple Sprint phones, and none of them worked very well in Oconomowoc.
