If you can PM me with your closest cross streets and city or zipcode I can help you out when I get in tomorrow morning.

fyi, signals in-doors would be extremly hard to get as well as outside, becuase of the buildings and sometimes signals can not get through, especially if your in the 1.9ghz zone instead of 800. 1.9g would work less then with 800/850, however you would be facing problems in-doors regardless.

i wouldn't say indoors is extremely hard to get. i live a mile from a tower and get full signal in my basement. its all relative to where the nearest tower is. maybe you could say getting indoor signal MAY be hard to get, depending on certain factors
but, the 2 you mentioned are 2 of the most common culprits for low indoor strength.
my question to the original poster would be what phone did you go w...

well i had cingular/att wireless and in my basement it didnt work what-so-ever and my nextel phones dont work down there either. (in doors)
i can say for a fact that in-door reception is extremly hard to get especially in the basement and in certain rooms of the house. my nextel towers are basically 1-3 miles away from me and there are about 2-3 around me, and i still have problems in my area with some rooms of my house.
(i talk to a few people who are in field techs who work on the sites etc.. and i asked them why is that a problem in-doors, and they say its becuase of the building structure and signals have a hard time of getting to the handset. ) (they work for sprint and nextel so one does 1.9ghz and the other one does 800mhz) (t...

if you are within 2 miles from an 850mhz tower, you SHOULD have no problem getting signal indoors with Cingular. if you do, it is because of the construction of your house (i don't know what specifically would affect this besides poor window location/size), or too much stuff around your house (taller buildings, large leafy trees)
you are saying that with your Nextel or sprint phones you have that problem in YOUR house and relating that to everyone everywhere with every carrier by saying all indoor coverage is hard to get. our store is about 2 miles from a tower and the area is a little hilly. we get fine reception in any rooms that there are windows. (our stock room has steel doors and no windows.)
it is true that no carrier can guaran...

you should, but usually, you wont get great signal. (i have had it happened to me and it was explained to me by those people i told you about)
800mhz/850mhz works better in-doors then 1.9ghz. (for your info)

Your specific area is showing mid to high signal, and that is off the cross streets that you gave me, not just the zip code... The only thing that I do know is that you happen to be in a 1900 market which does not have as good in building penetration as the 850 markets do. as for it being worse pre-merger I unfortunately don't know much about your area other than when I was there a little over a year ago. ☹️
