I love Sprint and I have NO complaints! I have been with them for 10 years and looking to continue our friendship / business. AT&T was my choice prior to Sprint and I'm grateful all them dropped calls came when they did, cause our friendship / business ended then. I have been a happy camper ever since and I will SPRINT about it when I can.

5 Bars and 3G. Download speeds were really fast, was able to stream Netflix movies with high quality video and no lag at all. I was really impressed. Finally 3G! (Too bad I don't live in this area).

I used to use Cingular and ATT. Sadly, they would lose signal in Calexico as soon as one drove by the border. Mexicali towers overwhelmed the signals. I would lose signal on I-8 beyond Holtville until I reached Yuma. I would lose signal on I-8 in the mountains on In-Koh-Pah Rd.till I got to Pine Valley! I would lose signal on the New River dips. I would lose signal west of the clover-leaf on I-8 before I hit Dogwood. Tons of dropped calls. I would lose signal inside the El Centro courthouse! I would have to go outdoors from my own house to make or receive a call! That is ridiculous. I asked several friends and a consensus was that Verizon had the best reception indoors and the best towers. I am so happy I got Verizon, but I plan to go Sprint or Credo as Verizon is a bit expensive and it kills my budget. Verizon seems to have one weak spot. As soon as one turns South by the Austin Rd.bridge on Hwy. 86 southwest of Brawley, I lose all signal and can't call. I doesn't come back till one approaches the sugar plant by Keystone(?). The weird thing is that if I am already on a call it does not get dropped!

Out of all the cell phone carriers in the Imperial Valley, so far SPRINT is the only one to have it's service reach inside the IV Mall. All other comanys either have no service or will always drop your call within seconds.

Good reception throughout El Centro and neighboring towns. Full bars from El Centro to Yuma with only one or two dead spots (compared to Nextel no service). Going up grade from Ocotillio to El Cajon Verizon has no service wearas Nextel, on the other hand, has good reception going up grade. Over all, Verizon gets service in more places then T-Mobile, Sprint, etc. Julian, Ca, for example a town in the mountains, only Cingular and Verizon get reception. In Yuma, AZ, Verizon gets the best reception no matter what Sprint or Cingular customers say. Over all, get Verizon. Very satisfied with reception. Expensive, but good. Remember: "you get what you pay for." So if you want cheap, cheapt, plans then you'll get poor, poor service. Thats why Verizon is #1 in customer satisfaction. Oh, and for the record, no I do not sell phones for Verizon; I've just been with the company for almost four years and I'm about to renew for another two.

service varies according to the time of day. Evenings and nights get better reception than days. All services drop out in the IV Mall due to the construction materials used. Same problem across the street by Best Buy and in all the local Walmarts. Something in the construction materials blocks the cell reception.
