Coverage in this area is spotty at best while driving on San Felipe. Inside the building, I can hardly get any reception. The phone sometimes searches for a signal for 20-30 minutes and calls that are received are being cut off when I turn my head a little bit. T-Mobile has better coverage in this area, although it may be analog.

Never had anything but excellent reception for 5 years, several different phones.

Reception sucks inside apartment. I keep missing incoming calls, and calls drop when I make calls. This has happened to all my friends / family who have used their cell phones in my apt. Looks more like the location / geometry of the apt.

One more thing, the "reception bar icon" on the phone is a joke. Personally I think it is written in the software on the phone to stay full or very high on idle - for their "more bars in more places." I guess they don't mean more reception. More like false advertising. Right now my phone is showing full reception, but as soon as I call out it will drop to 1 bar and the call will be inaudible.

I can actually look out of my office window and see a tower less than 1000 ft away, but still can't use this phone in the area. I would say the reception would be in between "No Reception" and "Poor". I can call out and receive calls, but only about 5% quality. I have called cingular, but they don't really care. I think GSM has less coverage / quality than my old TDMA.

Have had to be forced to stay in my contract for 1 year and can not use my cell phone while at work! Sucks... .

Great reception pretty much every where in town and most places in Southeast, East, and Central Texas. Often better than friends Verizon Wireless phones.

I'm switching carriers because I never get a signal in this area where I live. I've also heard that it rates lowest in the Houston area.
