Perfect reception throughout Rancho Sahuarita. T-Mobile is the only carrier I've tried that works in my house. I've tried Cingular, Nextel, Verizon and T-Mobile.

In the past 6 months, my Nextel coverage has gotten much better. I now regularly pick up a signal that registers 4 out of 5 bars.

Sprint was good enough to send us an Airave for free! Now we get 5 bars consistently at home. But before that we had numerous dropped / missed calls in our house. 2-3 bars is what we get driving in Rancho. Still a few dropped calls per week between my wife and I.

Spotty service ranges from full bars in 1x EV to no bars at all in 1x. Drop calls are frequent. T mobile was more reliable in this area.

Getting 3 bars for phone reception, showing 1xev for internet- however internet service is very sketchy... hardly ever works. This has been a problem for the past 2 years. Very disappointed... Can't wait until my contract ends in 6 months.

We literally have spots marked with tape in our house where you might get reception. Sometimes it's on the floor. Sometimes it's against a window. Sometimes standing on a chair outside. Everywhere else there is no signal. And even the marked spots fail 50% of the time. Do you think Verizon will let me pay 50% of the bill?

My calls from home are often dropped, its very annoying. My phone shows 1 to 2 bars for reception but drops to zero bars in some places within my house. Sprint needs to allow my phone to roam more easily, my work cell uses AT&T and my reception is fine...

Shows near full bars but it constantly drops calls. Takes me 7 times to get a call out and its pure luck if anyone can get a call to get through to me. Text messages are always failing to send just like calls taking me 7 times before a text goes through. Texts coming into me sometimes come in hours after they were originally sent. The phone works perfectly fine in Tucson city limits. Unfortunately I entered into the contract months before moving out to Rancho Sahuarita. Stuck with a brick when I get home. PS-AT&T has horrible service.

I get next to no reception inside my home in Rancho Sahuarita. If I step outside the reception increases to maybe 2 bars but mostly I find myself exasperated with out cell service. Have the Sprint Airave being shipped out this weekend, it's supposed to use your broadband connection to create a mini cell tower in your home. We'll see if this remedies the problem.

Right now my phone reads 2 bars, but it waivers mostly between No Service and 2 bars. On a rare occasion I have seen 3-4 bars - but that doesn't really last. I can hear people fine, most of the time. But they usually say I sound like I'm in a tunnel, far away or I go in and out. If you find a spot that works, stay there - don't move! Don't even take one step. Reception is hit or miss. Very annoying! (My roommate has Verizon and his service is spotty as well but I think a tiny bit better than mine.)
