Sprint 5 Out of 5 Phone Model: Blackberry Curve 8330	Taylors Ferry Rd. / Short Town Branch Rd., Bessemer, AL 35023	Mon Mar 09, 2009
Sprint 5 Out of 5 Phone Model: Blackberry Curve 8330	Up until 3 months ago, Verizon and Sprint both were garbage in this area. But with the 6 additional Verizon and 2 Sprint PCS towers plus Sprint being able to roam freely on VZW, coverage has been just amazing. I only get 1x Voice and data down here while roaming but it's fast enough and never drop calls anymore and can talk in the house. Nextel and Southern Linc have had great coverage here for around 3 years. Now VZW, so when will AT&T decide to stop being so cheap and throw up some more GSM and 3G towers?

T-Mobile 3 Out of 5 Phone Model: Blackberry Pearl Flip 8220 GSM	Taylors Ferry Rd. / Short Town Branch Rd., Bessemer, AL 35023	Mon Mar 09, 2009
	Along the roads it can get kinda spotty, but down on the river it's decent. Their coverage has improved greatly in the last few years, especially with the additional roaming agreements with AT&T for this area. Just wish AT&T had the quality network T-Mobile has in the city's.
