Cellular Phone Forum / General / General Topics / June 2004T-Mobile Reception in Buildings?
I live in Dallas, tx and I notice that T-Mobile's reception in Buildings (25+ feet) is very bad to non existent I know that this is not an overall issue, as others with different carriers are using their phones where I can not! Anyone else having this type of issue? Yeah, I'm having the same problem and it sucks. I previously had Cingular service and the reception was fine in the building I work in. I switched to T-Mobile and now I get ZERO bars with my v300. I thought that since T-Mobile and Cingular were sharing towers in CA that I would get the same reception. Is it the phone? My previous phone was a Nokia 5190 and I got three bars consistently inside my building. I called T-Mobile to complain but they gave me the same old BS about not guaranteeing service inside buildings. -Mark > I live in Dallas, tx and I notice that T-Mobile's reception in > Buildings (25+ feet) is very bad to non existent I know that this is > not an overall issue, as others with different carriers are using > their phones where I can not! > > Anyone else having this type of issue? >My previous phone >was a Nokia 5190 and I got three bars consistently >inside my building. You might unlock the 5190 and plug your current SIM into the phone. That will tell you if it is the phone (sounds like it is to me from what you are saying). -- John S. e-mail responses to - john at kiana dot net >Yeah, I'm having the same problem and it sucks.

And this applies to this guy's problem just exactly how??? That helps as much as me telling you that tomorrow morning the sun will come up in the east. And in case you hadn't read the agreement even when the network goes to T-Mobile cingular will continue to use the present network until it migrates customers to the old AT&T network. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - remove NONO from .NONOcom to reply >>> It's your phone. cingular and T-Mobile use the same tower >>> infrastructure.
