If I find the right spot in the house, and don't move, I can complete calls with average reception and sound quality. Beyond that, the phone is close to useless where we live, and we're a little higher than many of our neighbors. If we drive a few blocks, service disappears completely in the low spots, resumes once we go up the hill. Some of this is my low-end, basic phone; my daughter's Samsung works much better, but the lack of towers in this area is, I suspect, the real culprit.

Used to have T-Moble but dropped them due to poor reception at home location. Started Cingular and reception is still very spotty and insconsistent. Both my wife and I have RAZR's and reception is same in this area. The problem is clearly a lack of towers in this area as the tower location map and Cingular's customer service confirm. I guess they are happy with just having towers near the major highways. Interesting thing is that the Customer Service reps claim they have no way of looking up forecasted tower installations, however when I was SOLD this contract the salesman seemed to know exactly when and where new towers would be installed. His information turned out to be false though...

Cingular is so bad in this area of Portland. My calls drop all the time and in many parts of this area my phone doesn't even ring. When I visit my friends house I have no coverage whatsoever and I always have to stand outside to talk even though that doesn't always work. Depsite contacting Cingular multiple times nothing is improving. I would NOT reccomend Cingular to those in N. Portland

T-Mobile is nearly useless in NE Portland. Dropped calls, intermittent reception and poor connections. The company says nothing is wrong in that area, so I guess they aren't planning to fix it.

If you stand on your head, clap your hands, and spin around three times you might get a clear call. Just make sure you don't move, otherwise it's gone.

Really poor reception in Tigard and Hillsboro, where I use the phoen most frequently. Dropped calls and really poor reception. Will switch when contract is up.

Some black out areas and generally poor reception. Just removed the landline and now not sure if I should get it back.

Spotty, usually poor reception. Signal strength fluctuates from 0 to three bars while phone is sitting on table. Number of bars seems to have no relation to signal quality.

Forest Heights | Miller Rd.,
Portland, OR 97229 |
Get no reception in my apartment, the phone will ring and I will press my ear to just the right spot in the window and will get reception for 5 seconds, then lose the call. Network is always busy around dinner time. I seem to get text messages fine, but calls are very unpredictable. Moved into the new apartment not thinking I would have to spend $50 dollars a month on a landline. Ridiculous and expensive. Have heard the same from other callers. Someone said sometimes they can get service with their T-Mobile if they can find a sweet spot. Have been spending a majority of my day looking for that sweet spot and have even driven to the QFC on Barnes Rd.to have a conversation! When is the neighborhood going to be connected?
