Yuma finally has 3G coverage people! Like the other people said, for years Sprint had been giving me the run around. I was sooo close to jumping over to Verizon. With the Speed Test App I average about 900kps to 1mb download and about 400 kbs upload. All my Apps now are fully functional on thier own with out WiFi assistance! Its about damn time! Although some area's of Yuma vary greatly in speed connectivity. Biggest fluctuations are in the Counties south of Sommerton. But San Luis seems to be rocking it pretty fast too. The best reception areas are on top of the Mesa of course. Once you go down the hill then thats when speed levels drop down, not to bad though. I dont know where else they may have cell phone towers other than Telegraph Pass but I would imagine that they must have some repeaters around town to be able to hit San Luis.

Now that we have 3G it is amazing how fast I can stream video without a single glitch. I can also download music in a mater of seconds this great I am very pleased with this new upgrade...

When I was with Sprint, the reception was bad, usually 2 bars or under. The strange thing is that inside some buildings, you get a much stronger signal than if you stepped outside. At home, when the wind was blowing, the strength would fluctuate from 0-3 bars, dropping many calls. Sprint claimed that they were upgrading their system to 3G (and some even claimed 4G), but all I ever saw was 1X (and that was after 2.5 years of the "we're upgrading" claims).

I can use my phone prety much everywhere in Yuma Arizona, except my own house! Whatever is blocking the coverage, please resolve Sprint.

i have had Verizon and sprint, both are marginal at best. had about 3 to 6 calls a day dropped with verizon, and about 2 to 4 with sprint. unhappy looking for something good here in yuma

Reception in house is 2-3 bars 4-5 bars outside. No dropped calls outside however if indoors a few drop calls if I am moving around. No Digital coverage at all in Yuma / 20 miles inside California Stateline. Was thinking about switching to At&T (for Blackberry Bold)but staying after reading this forum.

I have had Nextel and it was awesome, I had to switch to Sprint and have been let down by their service since their merger with Nextel.

I used to hear a lot of bad stories about sprint, but I got service basically for the business plans they have availiable, and have been pleasantly suprised so far.

Quality of reception is bad. a lot of dropped calls, If I get 2 bars I am very lucky. Sprint needs to do a lot of work on their reception in the southwestern part of Arizona.

Service is very poor when getting on 4th ave from the freeway coming from California from 1st st 16th st, after passing 16th st signal is fine or if you get off of 4th ave southbound.
