Very poor reception all over the Brookline village - 2 bars max...

Virtually unusable at this location inside and outside the building. The same goes for several ajacent streets. Good coverage 1/2 mile north, towards Beacon St.

Repeatedly missed calls; They went direct to voice mail while I held the phone. Any that got though had extremely poor quality. AT&T sucks in general. Voice message alerts would appear up to 14 hours later. A clerk in the AT&T wireless store told me that they are switching the TDMA equipment with the newer GSM thereby reducing the TDMA coverage. AT&T sucks.

Usually good service around the hill, even indoors. The only spots with problems have been downtown, near the water and Quincy Market, but that has gotten better in 2004. Some places in Allston are also bad, but most everywhere around the city has been good.

Three years now I've been complaining to AT&T about reception in the Kendall Square / East Cambridge area. Once in a while I can make a good call when outside. But in buildings (even by windows)... forget it... calls only go through a third of the time, and even then are garbled and often dropped. Today, my phone kept jumping from full reception on analog to nothing on digital. I even heard someone else's conversation for 2 seconds. I'm going to start looking for a new provider.

I get service everywhere in and around Boston. It works great but the phones offered are not the best.

Good reception on the street near JFK / UMASS train station, in my 3rd floor apartment. My E105 seems to have better reception than my friend's T-Mobile Motorola V300.

Great reception, even inside my office (internal room, no windows). Only had a problem once, but calling T-Mobile revealed that they were doing repairs on the cell tower.

Lived here three years and still the reception is very bad. Helped when I switched phones (I had a Motorola and people couldn't hear me), but reception is not perfect nor where it should be.

My reception stinks in my neighborhood in South Boston. Lots of dropped calls.
