Weak signal is barely strong enough to use indoors. Often times I need to go outside to make a clear call.

Good reception anywhere in house even in basement. Almost never drops a call, calls always clear. This may be due to the phone since I also have a Motorola V180 which gets horrible reception usually 1-3 bars at most, and often drops calls (ofcourse the Mot V180 I got free from T-Mobile for signing up another year... anybody need a paperweight).

Always get full reception wherever I go except in the middle of nowhere where none of them work. I've tried all the carriers, Verizon and Sprint work in more places then any of the others.

I usually have a really good signal most places I go or have been in the city. I've never been in a location where my phone just doesn't work. When I had T-Mobile, connectivity problems were a day-to-day basis.

Very good reception! However, my Motorola v551 just broke down, I am temporaily using a Nextel, I will let you know how the cell phone works in this area, next week.

I was originally with ATT on this Nokia 6160 TDMA phone since 1999, now changed to Cingular. My reception has always been 3 to 5 bars in almost every part of Baltimore -- with rarely a dropped call or audible static. And I did travel to all areas. Believe it or not, reception is influenced as much by the phone itself as it is by the tower range coverage, network loading and surrounding band clutter interference. I just ordered a new Samsung SGH-p777 with Cingular and may well regret that decision if the reception isn't as good as with my old plain-Jane Nokia. It's been a toughie and always reliable.

Cingular seems to drop calls all over town, or diverts to voice mail without calling the phone.

Reception in my home office is very poor. I sometimes lose a call 2 or 3 times during a 10 minute call. My many calls to Nextel does no good. Their standard reply is: "Experiencing some equipment problems in your area"... or... "Will soon be adding another tower"... yada yada.

My reception seems to be getting worse and worse even though T-Mobile tells me thier adding towers in this area because people are requesting them. My reception no longer works in my house and when I leave out my house I have to power cycle my phone in order to get a signal.
