T-Mobile

2 Out of 5 (2 stars) | Columbia Heights, Minneapolis, Minneapolis, MN 55421 |

Recently switched to T-Mobile and I have found service to be below the quality of my old AT&T TDMA in all respects so far. I have tried 3 different phones / models during the trial period. In the house there is an average of 2 / 5 bars. I have had a couple dropped calls, one "Network Busy," and many breakups in voice quality. In addition, when driving around the metro I had a few "Call Failed" instances when there was good signal strength. More problems in 2 weeks with T-Mobile than in 2 years of AT&T TDMA. There were also some problems with connecting calls, like 30 seconds of silence before ringing or pickup. Customer service has been very courteous though, giving 75 free minutes for the dropped calls, and notfiying me that there will be service improvement in my ZIP in the next few months, so we are sticking with T-Mobile because they are by far the best priced.

Inside my building on the University of Minnesota East Bank campus, I get either little or no reception. It's a complete dead-zone. Other providers have good reception, however.

Just superb coverage within the Twin Citites metro. Dropped calls are very, very rare with this service in this area. I do have an issue with calls not ringing, and going directly into VM, but I think that is a common issue with my phone, not their network. My only network complaint is that VMs can sometimes not showup on my cell phone for up to 3 hours after they are left during peak usage times. Althought this has not happened to me within the last 6 months, they may have fixed this issue. Signal strength is 4 bars on first floor, 5 bars on second.

Odd drop in service, of course, right above my house. Literally walk down the block and the signal regains strenght. Months of calling T-Mobile have resulted in nothing- not even a response to a trouble ticket. Heck, I'd have settled for "Yep, there's a drop there. Tough." But the techs never even acknowledged that a complaint had been lodged.

I consistently get 4 or 5 bars even in my basement, though other equipment I've used (Samsung SGH-X426) gets fewer bars. Dropped calls are very rare.

I get very strange reception in my house. It is usually fine in on the first floor but the strength really fluctuates. I just got this new phone though and I am hopeing it will be better than the last.

Alltel service is not what it should be for a large city like Minneapolis.

2 Out of 5 (2 stars) | 15th Ave. S | E 52nd St., Minneapolis, MN 55417 |

The reception inside my house is practically zero. I have to stand near a window to get service. This may be due to the extra sound insulation in the neighborhood on the houses with MAC improvements? My brother has T-Mobile and gets service even in our basement! Unfortuanatly we still have 2 years on our service contract for 2 phones in a family plan and I can't seem to figure out how to get out of it.

I haven't had a problem with reception anywhere in the twin cites, from downtown Minneapolis out to the suburbs of Savage or Lino Lakes. Usable signal even off the highway in rural Wisconsin.

I have a T-Mobile prepaid plan and I have never not had a signel except for in the Dells. I have one bar, usualy, in my basement but otherwise T-Mobile is great for me.
