I only receive a maximum of two to three bars at any given time, but signal is poor at best as I always drop calls. Also calls are intermitent and spotty at best. Thinking of switching to Verizon.

Sprint deceptively advertises, promises 4G, not even 3G in reality, best described as dial-up speed, frequent dropped calls, little to no reception, reduced speed since taking on iPhone mid Oct. Literally have to go to Sprint store to connect to service on a daily basis. Made numerous complaints for years especially last 3 months, tickets escalated, Sprint employess rude, disrespectful, totally crude and unprofessional; part of their training. Advised by Sprint employees to go get another service to use when Sprint service does not work. We are held to our 2 year contract; Sprint is in breach of contractual agreement to provide service. Sprint fails to build out network and add towers while paying $4M for rights to sell iPhone and downgrade existing service by loading down the service network. Complaints are met with snarky denial and excuses especially by illusive Kala Clark, Sprint Executive office in Kanasa City, MO.

Verizon is good at my location since I switched from ATT which had dropped calls.

Terrible

Very poor coverage -- switching between 4G, edge, and no signal -- and constant dropped and missed calls. AT&T customer support sometimes say they are "upgrading" towers, but reception never improves. How can AT&T legally claim to have full coverage in this area when the service is practically unusable?

This area has always been a relative dead zone, with very spotty reception and negatively affected call quality.

Phone is constantly on -106DB. Sprint seems to think this is acceptable. At least everytime I complain they respond that way. I have 1 Samsung Galaxy 4g and two Samsung moments... all do the same... -106DB. I'm about to suck up the early termination fees and dump them on Craigslist

All three of us had iPhone 3G and 3Gs phones until June, then switched to iPhone 4s. The reception has been somewhat better with the iPhone 4, but barely, so it's not the phones. Outside I can get 1-2 bars and have a call last for a while. In my home, 0-1 bars and the calls drop in seconds. This is crazy. HOWEVER, today (10 / 13 / 2010) the AT&T rep I spoke to stated that a new tower being built a mile NW of our home is scheduled for activation on November 17th (they got the construction going before the FCC put the kabosh on new cell towers being built two months ago). We'll see... my guess is that it's somewhere around 44th and Thunderbird, but I'll have to drive around and hunt. I bought a MicroCell for in the home, and I can talk for almost 2 minutes before that drops calls. That technology is too new and too quirky, and besides, it's a band-aid to the real issue.

My phone goes to roaming in this area and most calls drop.

My MotoQ regularly has only 1 bar, but calls seem fine (for the most part). Noticed recently that I pop down to "1X" service all the time, it's usually EVDO. Kids just got LG Rumor Touch and they have dropped calls, service drops (when texting) in the house and around the area. Wife has Palm Pixi and has no issues so far.

This is a brand new Nokia phone with T-Mobile service. I only get 1-2 bars at best and routinely miss calls that go directly into my voice mail instead. I'm dissapointed with T-Mobile.

Had NOTHING with AT&T and T-Mobile's service was spotty at best. However, NEVER have problems with Sprint anywhere in the Phoenix area, even while hiking in the mountains. Never dropped a call at home, ever. Sprint rocks.

Coverage with T-Mobile is pathetic. Most of the time there is zero coverage, with only occassional coverage. Coverage with Verizon on a Blackberry Curve is a 3 out of 5, and usually good. Really dissapointed with T-Mobile!

I started with Verizon service in 2000 -- after trying Cingular (ATT) and T-mobile. If not for Verizon, I would not own a cell phone. That is, I could not tolerate the other phones that I tried. I can honestly say that I've never more than 3 dropped calls (since year 2000). This includes travel to California and Vegas. I would like an Iphone but, based on my research, I think that I'll have to wait until Verizon 4G becomes available (2012 ?). That's when I think Apple and Verizon will unite.

Calls drop at random when in the house. Is this going to improve or not? I love our iphones (4 phones in family). Should we stay with AT&T or switch? Please help!

One bar a good days, 0 on others. Indoor reception non-existent.

My phone shows that I have full 3G reception but lately I can only use apps that require internet intermittently (around 1-3 minutes of usage before the phone shows roaming) and can't use Safari for web browsing. Not sure if AT&T has become overloaded in the area or not but lately having all the features on the phone have become worthless because I can't use them. Traveled to OC the other day and had full use, so not my phone causing the problem. Is anyone else having problems with gaining access to the net?

Pretty awful coverage - sometimes has zero coverage for hours and then magically 2 bars appear, but will drop calls randomly

Anything North of Happy Valley Rd, between Scottsdale Rd and Pima, coverage is just terrible. Other than maybe being able to send a txt message the phone is unuseable. I've tried about 10 phones from Verizon and all the same experience.
