Sometimes, just sometimes, I get 1 bar... OK, almost never! Now, how can coverage be so bad and I'm virtually in the middle of the city??? Less than 5 miles from downtown Austin! Cingular's respnse??? "Sorry."

I cannot use my cell phone at home. Reception goes from 4 bars to 0 bars in the house without moving the phone. I can use it at one point in the back yard. Works great in Dallas and Houston, though.

Basically NO service. If I have to make a phone call, I have to go borrow my room mate's T-Mobile.

Oltorf and S. 1st,
Austin, TX 78704 |
I live close to San Jose Church between S. 1st St. and Lamar. Reception from home is usually 1 to 2 bars. I cant walk and talk at the same time without the reception breaking up a lot of the time. Reception on S. Congress is slightly better, maybe 3 bars. Sprint had better reception than T-Mobile. The sound is always crackly with a lot of dropped words, very annoying, especially when talking with clients.

16th and Poquito | Chicon,
Austin, TX 78702 |
Occasionally I get reception inside my home, but it quickly drops to no reception - and that's while I'm sitting still! I can't walk and talk at the same time. Cingular swears there's plenty of towers in the neighborhood but my neighbor has the same problem, and he has Verizon. I'm getting a land line.

I've just moved here from Washington DC where Verizon is king. Sadly it is Austin's redheaded step-child. I have dropped calls daily. I usually have only 1 bar along S. Congress. At the office, I have to run to a window to try to keep calls from dropping... usually doesn't work. I'm moving to the Lost Creek 78746 area soon and expect things to go downhill quickly based on comments from that area!

Why does cell receotion suck so bad in Austin? I don't know anyone with any phone with any carrier that has good reception. Talking on my cell phone is too frustrating. I won't do it unless I have to now. Most of my calls cosist of "What? You'll have to say that again, you're cutting out" repeat three or four times before the call is dropped. I don't understand why. It's Austin, Tx. It's not like I'm in the middle of freaking nowhere. Cell companies, how bout you start taking a little pride in the products and services you offer and step it up.

Berkman | Larkwood,
Austin, TX 78723 |
Most of the time it is completely impossible to have a conversation either inside or outside the house. I thought maybe it was the phone but it works fine most everywhere else in town. Looking at the map its seems like there isn't much coverage in this area from any carrier, especially Tmobile. On the other hand, friends have T-Mobile in the area and it is ok.

I get 2 bars here, and can make calls, but folks on Verizon are on roaming in this valley!
