T-Mobile
Very poor reception in this area. One bar outside so imagine what happens when you are inside a house. No Coverage. Hey T-Mobile... . "Can You Hear Me Now???"

Constantly getting dropped calls although ATT says a good coverage area. I'll have 5 bars, make a call, and have the bars go to one or none and then the dreaded "Call Failed" message. Customer service has never been helpful - they first maintained it was a hardware problem. Swapped out devices, SIM cards, and the first call made to them to test the replacement phone dropped! ATT, on follow up calls, fixes the problem for a few days and then it reverts!

Horrible reception via Verizon on both these cell phones!

No reception from T-Mobile inside my house, very limited outside my house, very frustrating.

I've been an iPhone user since they were first released, now using iPhone 3G. Reception fluctuates between 'no service' and 1 or 2 bars anywhere in or around my home, and my phone doesn't ring while I'm home- I just get voicemails hours later whenever I leave. We've had to add a landline because the iPhones do not work here. Spotty coverage all over busy Mac-Groveland / Highland Park / University areas. Lots of dropped and failed calls, failures on text messages over and over again. Customer service has never been helpful - filed many complaints and yet AT&T maintains that we are in a "very good reception area" and that it must be a problem with the device. Swapped out devices, SIM cards, with no luck. Have had other AT&T phones (non iPhones) also not work around here. Can't wait to switch back to Big Red when our contracts are up. If you live in St. Paul and want an iPhone, I recommend you wait until the 4G is available on another network, or just buy the iPod touch, because you'll have a hell of a time using it as an actual phone.

My husband and I get almost no reception in our home, three years ago my friend had the same phone with Verizon and had fine reception, she also has issues in our house now too.

Reception inside the house is spotty and poor, often have to hover in one spot to avoid dropped call. Outdoors is better, but this is really inconvenient. Absolutely no service at all in SW MN when my mom was sick earlier this year - very irritating. My 2-year T-Mobile contract is FINALLY up in December and looking for something with better reception, plus have had a few incidents of horrible customer service that make me want to give some other company my business. I am confused over 3G, CDSM, Edge, etc. What about new Walmart plans / phones? What makes the difference, the network or the phone or both?
