AT&T

Very unreliable and poor quality reception throughout my townhouse. I must stand near the window of my kitchen or upstairs bedroom to get somewhat reliable reception and even there the calls often become disconnected. I called Cingular and the representitrive said that my residence is "between stations". He could not say if the situation would ever be improved. I am looking for a provider with a better quality product.

Once off the beaten path in Belmont hills, zero to no reception. Must be the phone because I had at least been able to get messages and 2 bars using my Samsung. Hwy. 92 / Hillsdale. Same as post above, calls 100% drop if in use when passing this zone.

New T mobile service. Got home and had zero bars. Drove around trying to find reception. The dead spot on the bay side of FC is as follows. Starting at Beach Park and Gull 1 bar. Beach Park at Bowditch no signal. Beach Park / FC BLVD no signal. Beach Park and Shell 1 bar. Turning right on shell to Shell and Cataraman 4 bars. A block later no signal. No basically there is no signal or 1 bar at all until the intersection of Shell / Cataraman then a block later nothing. Very disapointed

very good reception all over foster city. In places where my old t616 from T-Mobile has no signal, this one constantly indicates about 80%+

I get good reception all around san mateo county. I had T-Mobile before and I got around 3 bars in my house. With a Sanyo phone that I had on SprintPCS before I got around 4 bars with that.

Hi, I just moved from LA to Foster city about a month back... .and I have had no signal whenever I am inside my house... but if I go outside some distance in my complex... i get between 1 and 2 bars... .but even then I have got dropped calls from outside my house... called up T-Mobile to find out whats wrong... and they told me engineers will be coming down in a week... and its been 3 weeks now... and nothing has changed... just got myself a Verizon phone yesterday... .seems to be somewhat better than tmobile... i get between 1 and 2 bars inside my house and between 3 and 4 outside... Hope this helps...

Got the phone for my parents. No complaints. They call from the 1st story of a two story home and say the reception is always flawless.

T-Mobile service has been poor. I never receive more than 2 of 5 bars and usually 0 or 1 bar out of 5. I've tried 2 Motorola phones and the V300 was better than V150, but neither work well. In comparison, have a Siemens A55 with ATT GSM and it works well (4 of 5 bars). Will ditch T-Mobile and get another ATT GSM Siemens phone.

Located on eastern side of 'Brisbane bowl' with ATT / Cingular service and Siemens A55 phone. I almost always get 4 of 5 bars... occasionally 5 of 5. However, it took two Nokias (both Chinese), then the Siemens (German) phone to get good reception. In comparison, new T-Mobile service is horrible with 0 of 5 to MAX of 2 of 5 bars, not to mention 25% dropped call rate. Will cancel T-Mobile now after two Motorolas - the V-180 and V-300, which also are made in China.
