T-mobile calls SUCKING this week for anyone else?
happened to me 3 times this week already...

i'm on a call, then the call cuts out and i hear a disconnect tone and a "Call Failed" message.

i try to recall and get the same tone and message, then i try again and get a busy signal, then i try again and get the busy signal. Then about a minute later the call will go through.

I have full bars and all calls were to different people in different locations (2 in Texas, one in PA), so i know it's not their connection.

Anyone else have the same problem this week?

Probably due to network congestion.

I live in Indianapolis, and while not seeing those same symptoms, I have noticed a "variability" in the signal strength this past week. Strange noises, dropped calls, and I've noticed that I sometimes only have 1-2 bars at home. Normally I would show 4-5.

It hasn't been any real problem since this morning. Hopefully it's a sign that things are working better now.

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~dropped calls here and there. Dropped when they want to. Mostly around 10 min or less. I notice if a call makes the 10 min mark then my call should be ok. Pensacola, FL.

Road trip From Pleasanton, Ca (Near San Francisco) to Medford, Or
Just made the above road trip with no T-Mobile service problems; but, I NEVER seem to have any problems with T-Mobile. I was using "Wayfinder" all the way with little to no network problems.

Seems like Jailbaitryan and I live in the same area. High neighbor!

I'm here in southern cali and I haven't had any issues @ all. I know usually when that happens its not on my end, especially if I have full reception.

No problems here in the bay area, and nothing of note up home in seattle. I have experienced the call failed/beeping noise thing, but not in the last month or so. ~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~

Yep I am here in new Mexico and I have revived the same thing! Alas I am not alone!!! I was on sprint and was very happy, but I switched because I now work for Tmobile and I get a VERY cheep phone plan and I get the BB data plan for free..so yeah, I do have a lot of those weird busy signel dropped calls. Tmobile's offical advise is to turn your phone off and on once a day and that should help your problem. Give it a try and maybe that will help. via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~

T Mobile is notorious for being like this. I drop calls left and right. I guess I'm the fool as I keep upgrading my phones with them. I do like the phones they have though.

yeah, it's only been this week so far yet though. i've had it for about 3 months now and it never did it up until now.

if it continues much more, i'll have to call t-mobile and bee-yotch to them a little.
