Sometimes, I lose reception in my living room. It seems to have gotten a little better in the last year, though.

My service goest between no bars to two bars only... ... hardly ever gets to 3 bars... ..horrible area for Spring service.

Our phones don't work in our house and they drop calls all the time. The customer service sucks as well. I called them and told them the reception was bad and they looked into it with tech support. While I was on the phone with them the call dropped 3 times. They let me out of my contract without a penalty.

Inside house, get 0-1 bars, outside, sometimes 1-2 bars, but fluxuates a lot! Sprint coverage in general in the Gilbert area is poor.

I agree with the guy who complained about getting his voice mails late. I've had VM show up a week later and this has caused me problems with my job. Reception is crappy all over the valley. The phone doesn't give me enough warning that it needs to be charged--it shows full and then an hour later goes to zero. I want to drop my landline but not for this terrible service. I wish I had stayed with T-Mobile but I have another year on this lousy contract with Sprint.

I constantly drop calls all over the valley. The phone rarely rings on incoming calls and voicemails arrive anywhere fom 1 - 24 hours late. I originally thought it was the phone but it happens on my wife's 2 phones as well. Seems to have gotten worse since the Nextel merger.

I get a dropped call probably once or twice a week. Text messaging seems to be slow and won't go through at times. Sprint has been decent, but I am switching carriers because I am not thrilled.

Calls made from within our house always get dropped. Moving outside only lasts slightly longer before getting dropped.

Extremely spotty reception inside my house with unpredictable call results. Multiple dropped calls while driving on Val Vista south toward Mercy Gilbert Medical Center / loop 202. Sprint supposedly has many towers planned to go up in 2007. I don't have the patience to wait and I DEPEND on the phone to have perfectly reliable service while at home, so I bought a repeater to put in my house to guarantee reliability while at home.

Reception in Power Ranch is poor. I get 1-2 bars on a good day, and always drop calls unless i'm standing in a particular spot upstairs. If you live in Power Ranch, don't get Sprint.

power ranch area, home and stores no servive,dropped calls. put in 8 "trouble tickets" to their tech support still no help.nice to pay for a cell phone you can't use!

No matter what phone you use, or what carrier you are with, here's what you need to check if you are in a 'dead zone' while in your house... If you get 'free roaming' on your contract, go into your phones menu and set the phone on 'roam only'... this forces the phone off whatever network it runs on (or is specifically looking for), and makes it search for the nearest tower, regardless of what company the tower belongs to. If you get a stronger signal that way, keep your phone on that setting while in the area... Easy!

Sprint finally switched me from a Sanyo VI2300 to a Nokia 3155i and it made a world of difference. If you are having problems with Sprint reception, put your foot down and demand they get you into a Nokia 3155i... it's a much better phone with improved reception and many more features. Where the VI2300 had no signal strength, the 3155i has at least two bars of signal. I am not dropping the calls like I used to. Sprint transferred me over to their 'phone insurance people' and they upgraded me for free after I told them I would be looking for another carrier if I didn't get some kind of resolution to the problem. I received the phone via UPS after just two days. Very happy with the 3155i.

Stay away from Sprint if you live anywhere near Ray and Greenfield, down to Williams Field road, it's one big Dead Zone, and Sprint won't even change out my phone to help me.

Phone continually goes into roaming while driving through south Chandler. Drops calls all the time. Stuck in a 2 year contract with horrible customer service and coverage. My wife has Cricket (you know the "cheap" service) and she always has good reception.

Sprint has got to be the worst! Fair only if driving around. However at my house my parents house and my work I dont get any reception.. So I guess it is good if you dont want to go over your minutes. Also they charge from the moment you push send not the moment the other person picks-up.

Overall Phone coverage not bad throughout the Phoenix Metro Area. Also travel to Sarasota, [spotty coverage] and Philadelphia [no problems encountered]. Customer Service a minor irritation, phone selection below average. Business user - need the coverage of Sprint / Verizon until the Cingular/ ATT merger will bring [hopefully] some GSM competion into the area.

reception spotty at best. Sometimes it is really good other times no reception at all. Will go into roaming mode at phoenix airport about half the time as well
