Coverage in Chester County, PA getting worse and worse!

My wife and I seem to be having more and more problems lately with
dropped calls and complete lack of a signal. Cingular sent an update to
our phones (Samsung X127), but it doesn't seem to have helped. We're not
out in the sticks. The area where we primarily use our phones is packed
full of residential housing and industrial parks (basically, the Route
30 corridor). We're very close to switching providers, but I'd like to
make sure the same thing won't happen with somebody else. Have any of
you had coverage problems here?

You may want to try Sprint or Verizon.

I'm in Paoli. Switched to tMobile, and the signal strength in and around our
house went right down the tubes. I'm not saying tMobile is unusable or that I
won't stick with it.... but the signal strength is markedly inferior to what I
was used to with a Cingular TDMA account - under which I didn't even have the
concept of zero bars.

I'll probably get one of those signal boosters for the house...

Also, perverse as it may be, it's a little reassuring to hear that Cingular's
GSM coverage in our area isn't all that wonderful either...

You can check the coverage maps in your area here:

Cingular was probably picking up your 850 signal,
so T-Mobile might have a prob doing just that.

If Cingular had 1900 coverage there,
T-Mobile would pick that up with (free roaming).

Check the above link to see which carrier has best coverage in your area.

Do you have a weak signal, or no signal ?

I hope this helps.
