T-Mobile signal is *appallingly* bad in the East Bay. Over the Berkeley Oakland area I *average* about 0.5 bars. I *cant wait* to conclude my contract with them and switch to a real cell phone provider.

Once I turn off Hwy. 9... DEAD! I can't beleive that I am unable to place / receive a call from home. (I get 5 bars 1 / 2 mile from home in the village.)

Don't get T Mobil in Noe Valley - incredibly, it doesn't have service in front of their new store at 17th and Valencia

Don't know whether it is the phone or T Mobil - works perfect in Manhattan but in SF very limited service

We are moving to the neighborhood shortly. And I dont want to be stuck without any reception. With Cingular, I got 0 reception in the area... . Anybody else have any luck with other providers?

Sprint drops away completely here, for about a mile. it is strange. Within 5 miles of this area, Sprint is really bad. You need to get to the edge of Pasadena before decent signal can be had.

I just switched over from Version because my company sponsors Cingular. Also roll over minutes. I wish, I new about the bad reception for Cingular before switching over. I am screwed!

Avondale St. and Bollinger in West San Jose (95129) I have been very happy T-Mobile customer. It ringed everywhere in the US, China, Singapore, France, Geneva, Mumbai etc T-Mobile does not ring in my home or outside in San Jose. The repeated calls to their service has fetched no success. They offered me a 50 minute free time which is kind of useless if there is no reception. Anyone recommending other carriers for the above cross street?

Inside my office I have ZERO reception. Out on the street I have 5 bars...

Poor to no reception when enter building with 2 stories. My friends use Cingular wireless and their reception are always at 3-4 bars. T-Mobile is suck
