T-Mobile is the only provider out of the three I've tried (Verizon, Sprint, and Cingular) where I've had more than one bar inside my house. My T-Mo gets full reception in my house, which is a good thing considering it's almost always closer to me than my actual house phone, which I often don't hear ringing.

GSM enabled phones have more issues with signal quality and connectivity. In-doors, like my house, provides little to no signal. UMA would allow my phone to operate over my wi-fi service to provide me service. The same applys to being out and about. Take a trip to the local mall. The reception in the lower level offers no reception. Cingular, my carrier, does not have any reception even through the mall. The end result for the technology is to provide custmors better quality service, and at a lower cost. This is win-win. I just wish they would hurry up.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16712488 Tue, 15 Aug 2006 16:06:37 EDT Re: Don't see features mattering much http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16712454 tapeloop : Can't argue with that.

Do you think that the so-called "reduction" in network traffic would result in better quality calls? I would imagine that a great many people would have to sign up for the UMA in order to make a dent on the GSM side.

I cannot stand demagoguery. If you disagree with my stance, you're a blithering twit.

A phone that sounded better than a kid's toy and didn't have a quarter second of processing delay and 100% distortion. Or put another way, a phone which concentrated on quality phone service first and the toys second.

Why do people put up with it?

At the end of the day, I think the bulk of people just want reliable service. Who's watching video or downloading music on a phone? That's what I have a computer for.
While I'll admit I don't often use it, having broadband speed capability thru a USB cable has helped me gain internet access when I was faced with tough times. I also enjoy watching the news on my phone at 6am when I'm at work waiting for a call. More services mean more bandwidth, which means faster broadband speeds for phones. It won't be too long before cellular internet will be up there with cable and dsl. It's very possible, look at China.
