Coverage is spectacular now with GSM. A year ago it was a different story. The only place in the city where I consistently drop calls is on I-10 / I-610 merge near City Park. Every time I go through there I drop the call.

Had a motorola V60t (TDMA) and the service was horrible so I "upgraded" to GSM and got the Motorola T721. Service may actually be worse now. I maintain a PC network that stretches from Kenner to the Westbank so I use, or try to use, my phone all over NO. The service is absolutely horrible overall. In fairness though, I just got a Nokia 6820 (GSM) and I have actually been able to have 60 and 90 minute phone conversations for the first time since I left Sprint (their coverage was spectacular).

Step outside the door and the reception is great. Can't use the phones in any of the apartments though. Several friends with different models (GAIT and GSM) don't get reception in there apartments either. Cingular has a wide coverage area, but Sprint definatly had stronger signal.

Cingular TDMA was the best. Now with GSM had to return the phone and cancel new plan. It was dropping calls, would not work in my house or buildings, coverage spotty. Went with ALLTEL coverage has been great, have not found a place where I was not able to use my phone. Plans or very good also.

TDMA works great all over southeast Louisiana and south Mississippi and has reliable to excellent service in every city/airport around the country as well as on all the highways and interstates even off in the country it works pretty well. the point is, if you must travel for work, and not always in major cities, then stick with TDMA , GSM is not reliable yet and you will miss important calls due to gaps in coverage

constantly dropping calls. wildly fluctuating signal strength. unable to make a call in any large buildings like walmart, office depot, etc... i first got a replacement T616 thinking it was the phone... it was not. the service is terrible and an honest sales rep will admit it.

reception on the TDMA network is great all over the westbank and the eastbank of new orleans. only occasional lapses in coverage like algiers near the intersection of woodland and gen. meyers, top of the bridge and a small section of magazine street. not like the gsm coverage which is a joke.
