I actually have 3phones, the Treo, a Motorola 440 and a Samsung 427 and get great reception on all three. Such good reception that I have never had to deal with customer service so I can not comment on that. My service with ATT and now Cingular has always exceeded what appears to be other peoples experience.

Poor to no reception in east austin near Manor and Airport. Never ever let anyone talk you into going with Cingular. Absolutely the worst compnay I've ever dealt with in my entire life. Have had multiple Cingular users at my house with a variety of phones and no one gets a useable signal at my house or anywhere on my street, yet Cingular claims it's the equipment, and that I should buy a new phone. Crooks! Steer clear of these low life jerks and go with anyone else. You would have better luck with some yarn and plastic cups.

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."

Westlake Drive. | Red Bud Trail,
Austin, TX 78746 |
Nothing but hills here... ... .you'd need a tower on every hilltop to get down in these ravines. Signal drops to zero near Hull Cir. and again at the Bee Creek bridge (The High Road). T-Mobile is the only carrier that gets even two bars halfway consistently near the bridge, and even though calls break up occasionally, calls seldom get dropped. I've tried Cingular, AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon... ... .don't find yourself in this area needing to make an emergency call on those systems. You will die of frustration well before you can bleed to death. Dropouts are also frequent on the south side of Red Bud also, starting within a quarter mile of Bee Caves Rd. Cell phone frequencies are high enough that they are fairly line of sight... ... .if you can't see a tower with your eye, it may not see your phone, making an idyllic location near the creek a poor place for yapping on the phone, especially if power lines are near.

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.

I live in San Antonio and Dr.to Austin 5 nights a week to work. My reception is always good. The only time I have trouble with reception is when I am talking to a friend who has Sprint( he is constantly dropping calls).

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.

S. Congress | East Live Oak,
Austin, TX 78704 |
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!
