I currently have Sprint. They have good coverage, but my only problem is that I use alot of minutes and they are way too expensive. I want to switch to T-Mobile but am unsure of how coverage is in Arizona. Does anyone have any current updates about how coverage is? Thanks

Reception is very poor in the area with constant dropped calls. You have to walk out of building and roam around to try to get some good signal. The phone shows a strong reception but people can't hear me well and calls are dropped. Since Cingular bought ATT they say they have better coverage but personaly I think it is not good at all.

Reception is spotty in our area. I have to talk while upstairs. The phone does not work downstairs. Sometimes I go outside but still lose calls on occasion. I have had to upgrade the phone software once. I do have the GPS system and software which works most of the time.

Pretty good coverage all over the city. Occasional dropped calls. Phone's acting up, though. It doesn't seem to know how to charge itself. It's a couple years old.

I don't have many complaints about Sprint reception around Tucson. It can get spotty in the foothills (e.g. on Sunrise past Swan), but in town I can always get reception, even inside buildings.

My v120c continually drops calls no matter where I call from or to. It drops calls and fades in and out during conversation.

I have been with T-mobile for 2 years. They do have wonderful plans. Reception is usually between 3 to 4 bars. However, sometimes I didn't get good signal even in my house.

My Cellular One phone works percect with its towers in my town where I used to live. Now in Tucson, it runs on the AT&T and T-Mobile Networks. AT&T's network is horrible and when i'm on T-Mobiel only calls and messaging can be done, no data at all. On a campus where there are about 40,000 students, you would think AT&T would have put a town near here for all of their customers. Very, very dissatisified with AT&T, Cellular One would be a better company without AT&T. They should have data options with T-Mobile instead.

I have to go outside to avoid dropped calls. 3G speeds are very slow, often below 200K, and often National Access instead of Broadband Access.

I've had AT&T since 2007, and it has been poor service. I drop a call more days than not, and have difficulty hearing the other person, or vice-versa, which is just as bad or worse when they mistake what they thought they heard on a business call. I live by the U of A, and each time school starts up, service gets terrible for a month or two. If I can get a bar at all, my calls often get dropped. Recently, my phone dropped a call at least 5 times during the same conversation. I gave up and found a land line. Web browsing has been so slow, that I don't do it very often. I use to have Sprint (before my company went with AT&T), and lost only two calls in two years, while driving between two large foothills. Used the web browser all the time on that phone, and tethered to my laptop. I'm throwing in the towell on AT&T.
