Ever since the thunderstorms on May 4th the phone will not ring for incoming calls, or call out consistently. Sprint technichal service says that coverage wasn't affected but reset the tower preference. Other Sprint users that I've talked to in Austin have reported similar problems.

I get one or two bars usually. The calls always drop off after about a minute.

Since updating phones, reception in this area is minimal. I can not receive or talk on the phone inside the house without dropping calls. I can go to my patio and if I restart the phone and stay in one place on my patio I may be able to end my call without being dropped. Have called Cingular regarding this problem and there seems to be nothing they are willing to do to asist. I have four phones through Cingular and two on the contract are due to expire this month. Have been looking at changing to T-Mobile or Verizon if Cingular will not take remidy to this situation.

I've had this service for a month now and I'm finding that in this area I don't get more than 3 bars at any one time. I fades out between 2 an 3 bars and I have experienced several call drops. I called Verizon and they said I had a tower 1 / 2 mile from me but it would have to be line of sight for a better reception (imagine that!)

There is a major dead zone located around Manchaca / Shilo and Seminary Ridge / Manassas. Cingular refuses to believe this. Funny thing is, is that the reception was OK the first 30 days we had the phones -then after the cancellation period - no bars. We now have over 9000 roll over minutes, but if we change our plan, we loose all of the minutes. Minutes we've paid for and can't use. Only 6 more months and after reading all these comments, I think we'll go with Verizon.

Have been with ATT for nearly 4 years. Since the ATT / Cingular merger my phone service has declined to the point where it is all but unusable. Dropped calls, no lines available for outgoing calls, messages comming in without the phone ever ringing have all become the norm. Customer service will try to placate you with one time offers of extra minutes but what's the point if you can't use them anyway. I just found out my contract is over and I'm looking to find what service is best in Austin. Anything has to be better then cingular.

4 Out of 5 (4 stars) | Brodie Lane | William Canon, Austin, TX 78745 |

Verizon by far has the best coverage and very very good sound clarity, typical to CDMA. Something none of the GSM providers has to offer. I get excellent reception (and not just reception, sound quality as well) pretty much everywhere in Ausitn: downtown, south, all of Mopac, I-35 and Loop 360. Too bad their phones are ancient, they are like 3 years behind in features, compared to the offerings from T-Mobile and Cingular. They even disable Bluetooth on a few rare models that have it...
