No reception inside building mid-block on G. Reception has never been a problem with this phone in DC or other cities, even in buildings.

No signal whatsoever with Sony Ericsson GSM phone since July 2006. Tried SIM in other GSM phones to no avail. Cingular claimed there are at least 10 towers in area but I could neither place nor receive calls from my location. Otherwise fair to strong signal throughout DC and northern VA.

Just upgraded to Cingular GSM from AT&T TDMA in June / July 2006 both pre-paid plans. Until August 2006 coverage at my desk varied but I always got at least 1 bar. As of August 2006 I get "No Network" most of the day. In an office by the window and the signal coverage will be anything from 1 - 5 bars and without moving it will rapidly jump from one to another. It averages 2-3 bars. In the street outside it maxes out at 4, very occassionally 5. In park near Saudi Embassy I get 5 bars, cross to the middle of Virginia Ave. (all of 20 yards) and it immediately drops to 3 bars even though it is still out if the open. I had a similar problem last year and looking at posts on here, I can't help but wonder if every August Cingular works on transmitters before the GW students come back. Of course tech support knows nothing about it and insists that my handset must be faulty and exchanged, but I doubt that's the problem since I can get 5 bars out in the mountains in Front Royal, VA. It seems its either that the towers are over subscribed, or that some have been turned off.

I barely get any reception. I am currently carrying two phones with me, one an old Motorola with Verizon and my new Motorola RAZR with Cingular. Everywhere in D.C. that I go, I get better reception with the Verizon phone, by at least one-to-two bars. I am planning on going back to my old Verizon phone.

Born in SE and cant even visit my parents without having no service its like Nextel thinks nobody in SE needs service. Had to call 911 for my father who fell off a latter no service and I called them and they said I had a bad phone but I just purchased it last month and every Nextel phone I have ever owned never work in SE. I mean every new phone that Nextel brings out I have bought it but now I'am done no more faketel.

Is T-Mobile reception getting worse? I used to get only one bar at work, now I get none. TMO swaped out my phone but still no dice.

Almost always no reception - though sometimes I'm surprised by 3 bars. Seems to be a dead spot at a very busy location.
