I've always gotten very good reception around the UCSB / Isla Vista / Ellwood / Goleta area. My signal fades in a few parts of downtown Santa Barbara and anywhere I've been more than a few hundred yards aways from the 101 in Montecito and Summerland, as well as in some of the larger / heavier buildings at UCSB. Recently, I've been experiencing 'network busy' signals but I think it's a problem with my phone. It's quite old (more than 4 years) and started to power itself off randomly around the same time the busy signals started. Despite the excellent signal reception I've received, I will most likely be leaving Sprint soon due to their unwillingness to extend the same rebates on a new phone to me as they advertise to new customers. (Effectively, it would cost me an exra $50 to get a new phone other than their bottom-of-line model AND keep my phone number. They're offering some models with a $200 rebate on new line installations but the same phones are discounted only $150 as an upgrade to an existing line)

Always struggle when I get west of Storke road, perhaps because only local tower is on UCSB campus...

Great around town except when in underground parking.

goleta ca--little or no reception in fairview shopping center residential and office area, particularly inside building. Previously was ok, but last several months have no service often, one bar reception most of the time, may have 2-3 bars outside sometimes. Also with nokia 3360 as well as motorola v60 and v60i
