"There aren't any towers in zip code 75231. This is a "dead zone."" No, it's not. I was there last night at that same intersection (posting an ambulance in front of the PrimaCare) and had 5 bars. I work for an ambulance company and am all over the DFW Metroplex. I had AT&T and had pretty lousy coverage with the iPhone and the RAZR. We switched to T-Mobile and the coverage has been great, even inside the Baylor hospitals. MetroPCS comes in second.

Coming from North Grand Prairie, TX on Beltline as you cross the FedEX depot and up to reaching Shady Grove intersection coming into Irving, TX there is a weak to dead spot stretch of land for about 2-3 miles. Calls are almost guaranteed to be dropped as you get closer to the Shady Grove intersection. Have called T-Mobile numerous times. They do not plan any upgrades to this stretch of land to improve reception.

I always get 5 bars in and around oaklawn, Uptown, downtown. Including Central Expressway and Tollway. Only bad areas in metroplex are some parts of Highland Park and all of Hillcrest Ave. from Lovers Lane to LBJ 635.

This location is not to bad, on top floor of a two story apartment complex and when I had GSM service it was real bad. My new phone CU500 uses 3G and this seems to work much better.

I've had practically NO service from Sprint in this area... until I bought another phone through their upgrade program. What a difference! Now I have consistent service with a minimum of 4 bars! But I have to believe that Sprint finally placed another antenna in the North Oak Cliff area and that's why service has improved greatly around here. Actually, this phone rocks! I travel a lot and seldom find myself without a signal. I also have a Cingular phone that I have no trouble getting a full 5 bars out of here in the Kessler Park area. I was told by a friend that the quality of the phones makes all the difference in being able to capture and hold a signal. I believe that is true. The Samsung phones are generally quite reliable. Stay away from Sanyo and Sony / Erikkson and certainly run from Motorola! I tried the Nextel network this past summer and it sucks the big one SO BAD that it's practically worthless. I couldn't get ANY signal here in the N. Oak Cliff area AT ALL! Motorola / Nextel puts out some very expensive phones that are absolutely junk! And I had a very expensive model!

Customer service notwithstanding, I consistantly have 4 bar coverage throughout Winneka Heights and Oak Cliff in general.

Sometimes I get dropped calls, otherwise seems to work well.

Apartment on the first floor - phone is spotty indoors even near the window (bars fluctuate and chop up your conversation) Reception is better outside.

We great reception with T-Mobile in this area, even in the basement garage of our building. 5 bars all the time. I have found a few dead spots in other parts of town, however.

always good reception - 4 / 5 bars inside my house. Also "Optimal" reception using the T-Mobile / Sony Ericsson EDGE PC card.
