I just moved into the Newport area almost a month ago from Houston, TX (where T-Mobile service had been excellent) but here I rarely get one or two Bars on my phone. Most of my calls goes directly to my mailbox and I don't even get message alerts until it is already 2-5 hrs after. I have to stand by my Living room window to be able to get a weak signal (if I am lucky) to make a call. I have been trying to cancel my service but one of their Rep. renewed my Contract without my Authorization and without even informing me, after I requested that my plan be upgraded to 1000mins from 400mins. I only found out about it one month later when I called back to downgrade my service plan. Hopefully they won't give me a hard time for cancelling my account otherwise they are looking for a lawsuit to be filed.

My older sanyo 5400 got average to poor reception, skipping words, with infrequent drops, this LG tho, the entire area is dead, even standing out in a clearing outside and less than a 1 / 4 mile from the nearest tower, line of sight, somehow it still can barely manage a single, weak bar, and its not just my phone, two friends have 325's and get the exact same performance.

Reception inside the building structures is non-existant unless you are by a window

Reception was good until last Friday. Since then, no signal. Any one else who has experienced this problem?

NO reception at my daughters school and the public library. Also, no reception or spotty reception on parts of valley road.

Even outdoors, you barely get any signal at all in most of the town. Indoors, forget about it. You are lucky if your phone isn't chirping every 10 seconds because it is switching to analog. I tried to make a call from the intersection of Forest and Main once and I actually went to roaming! I've called Verizon about this and never received any help whatsoever. All I got was excuses.

For the past year I have had no complaints about cingular, till last week, I have not had any reception in my apt. for about 2 weeks and all Cingular keeps telling me that they are working on it. But I get no answer to how long.

In my apartment both Verizon and Cingular works fine but I am stuck with Tmobile. Since last one year they are promising upgread in network but nothing has happened yet. So if you live in Van wagenen Ave, T mobile is NO NO

I couldn't get any reception with Cingular, but a friend of mine had excellent reception with Verizon and an LG phone, so I switched. He still get's good reception with Verizon, but I can't get reception at all, even with Verizon, so I'm going to try and switch phones. (I've already brought it to a store and had it reprogramed.) In the meantime, another friend of mine has been getting excellent reception in my location with Cingular. What am I doing wrong?

T-mobile sucks! Every other carrier works. Customer service is useless.
