Very good reception inside AND outside the house, reception somewhat diminishes one by one as you travel into central plano, but there's bound to be another tower in west plano.

I used to have a T68i that received very little reception inside my house. The Cingular Sony Ericsson T637 gets great reception.

Reception was so ad and Sprint so unhelpful that I changed carriers.

Excellent Reception. If your phone doesn't support 850MHz get one. It makes a world of difference.

Since we moved to this area of the metroplex, our cell signal is always poor at the house and we use only our cell phones�no land lines. We can drive a 1 / 2 mile and get great signal, just not at the house. And, Verizon is the dedicated carrier in Plano! One would think the signal coverage would be outstanding. It's so annoying to have calls dropped one after another. Thank goodness Verizon ran fiber in our front yard. Once that's operational, maybe the poor cell signal won't be as critical as downloading speed.

Bars on the phone say I should get decent reception, but driving through this stretch of road each day, my calls drop again and again and again. Perhaps a cellular technician can ride with me one day; I'm happy to point out the bad spots! Sadly, after reviewing the posts above, it seems almost everyone else has the same problem in this "far north" area. That said, I'll pay as little as possible for what amounts to shoddy coverage, seemingly regardless of provider. However, my phone hardly works at home (Windhaven and Saintsbury; thank goodness for landline), and service is only marginally better in my office in Las Colinas, despite being on the 17th floor!

T-Mobile recently added a tower to the neighborhood, and reception increased dramatically. Funny, since the local T-Mobile business offices are so close (Forest / Webb Chapel) and the coverage was so awful for the past few years.

Not only doesn't work reliably inside my house, but also fails or drops calls made from both the front and back yards. EVen when sitting perfectly still, it will drop calls that were temporarily sounding OK. This is not a low location and is dead center in Plano, a major suburb for a major city. Ridiculous!

My T68 gets poor reception in my house, sometimes sporadic, no bars to 4 and then 1 - worse in the last two weeks. Two other phones (cheap Samsungs) seem to get good reception. I can walk a block in either direction and get a good signal.
