"Cingular - fewest dropped calls"... NOT! Within my apartment and within 4 miles of it, calls drop constantly, usually after 10-20 minutes. "Network unavailable" errors prevent outgoing calls 5-10 minutes after drop. This happens every day. In this area, Sprint / Nextell was even worse; I was unable to receive calls or place them with unacceptable frequency, ie daily. 6 calls to Cingular customer support have been useless. I am shopping for a new carrier. It could be that this area is a Bermuda Triangle for wireless. Sigh.

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.

At my office in Galleria Towers, and anywhere in the Dallas Galleria, the reception is lousy to non-existent. Phone spends all day running down the battery as it cycles in and out of service. Coworkers experience the same with various Verizon phones.

I have been unable to get Sprint reception in or around Casa Linda Shopping Center for the past 3 years. I have called Sprint repeatedly without any resolution, follow-up, or explanation offered. This location is the highest point in the immediate vicinity, across the street from an 8-story hospital covered in satellite dishes and antennae. Sprint says they have numerous cells in the area. I've been asking others who do get reception who their carrier is (T-Mobile, Cingular) so that I can change providers and be more assured of getting a signal so close to home.

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.

From Dallas to Northern Mexico I have never lost or dropped a call -- really GREAT service.

Very sporadic reception. Sometimes 0 bars, sometimes 3 bars... lots of dropped calls.

no Sprint reception in the mall at all - makes it tough to keep track of teenagers!

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

My phone drops me all the time, three or four times with the same call. It sucks. I have bought 2 new phones to fix the problem, but it does not help. I am moving to Verizon.
