T-Mobile

Reception is great indoors and outdoors. Calls are rarely dropped except in basement levels of buildings.

Reception seems to be getting worse and worse as time goes by. I can't get reception sitting at my office desk and I'm on the 2nd floor of a 2 story building.

I loved my phone until the cingular / AT&T merger. I tried the GSM in January and it was horrible. At that time the tdma was much better and I went back to my original plan. Five months later, my phone cuts out in areas, I 205, where the service used to be excellent. People call and the phone doesn't ring. I can't wait to change carriers!

Ever since AT&T 7 Cingular joined up, its been a nightmare. I get fast busy signals in the evenings and dropped calls constantly. In the daytime, people tell me that they called and heard the phone ring, but I didnt. They say its an equipment issue but Im positive its not because my friends experience the same problems.

I can not make calls from within my house. I must be in the street to be able to have a conversation.

Ever since Cingular swallowed ATT, my cell phone service has been awful. Dropped calls. Low bars. Can't even get good reception in my own home. I'm switching.

This is my third phone and first with t-mobile. I hated ATT / Cingular and Sprint believed my entire home except for a corner of my kitchen was a roaming area. So far so good with this one. Reception is excellent to ok just about everywhere I have used it in Portland. No dropped calls. Phone is the cheapy that comes free. T-Mobile has been good about service too

While slightly better than before the ATT-Cingular merger the reception here is lame. Calls are frequently dropped insinde and outside. I rarely get more than 3-4 bars. Usually 1-2

Horrible! As many have stated, it oscilates from no reception to 5 bars minute to minute. A conversation beyond 3 minutes is a rare treat. It used to be even worse... as I couldn't even use it at home, but now I can make short calls. I have a 2 year contract, or I would CERTAINLY SWITCH> I've been forced to use Vonage broadband telephone service in order to have a reliable line at home. AT&T / Cingular simply abuses customers in North Portland. If there were any justice from the FCC, an investigation would be pending or class action would be under way. The service is so poor that I would call it fraud, as I'm in an urban area, their coverage map is well beyond my home, and it is virtually unuseable for more than a "walkie-talkie" type service.
