I wish we had cell service that worked for all of Malibu. Sprint works well in Malibu Park when they aren't working on a tower (which is more frequent than you'd think). My phone also doesn't work at Pepperdine.

Only doesn't work in very deep canyons. Works all along Kanan and PCH. Doesn't work well at the top of Decker or along Muholland. Works well in west San Fernando Valley.

My mom lives in this area, and I am surprised by how good Sprint's coverage is when I go and visit her. With that said, it seems like once a year in the summer there is always a problem with reception. When I call and ask about the problem (I pay the bill so it is easier for me to check up on it) Sprint claims that it is due to "repairs". The thing is that she always has this problem in August. She is also not the only person with this problem. There is one spot at the bottom of her hill where you can see all the Sprint customers making calls during the downtime. We know they are Sprint customers because we have asked them what carrier they are with. Overall I am very happy with Sprint's service. I'm glad to know that at least eleven months out of the year my mom can make calls from her home, and I know I will get reception when I go to visit her. Sprint has also been nice enough to pay for the month that she does not receive coverage without having to ask for it.

I have had an issue with Sprint service since I have been here... but at one point they were considered the best option for getting reception in Malibu... but it's never been consistent. Three days ago one of their towers "needed repair". I haven't had phone service since, even though I was told the issue was fixed. I called tech support after driving to another area and using someone's house phone..they checked my phone signal, etc... my phone is fine. They have no explanation or solution, so after countless calls and attempts to fix this..they just said "sorry". I'm outta here Sprint and taking my numbers with me!

I want to get a new phone but my choice is dictated by strength of signal so that limits me to Sprint. Too bad because I really like Apple's iPhone 4 which gets ZERO reception at my house.

The ONLY phone that works in my home is SPRINT. Been that way for the past 8 years. ATT folks have to go outside to the driveway to make calls. Sometimes, I'm glad when they go out.

Works only in my bedroom. Poor at 4.45PM to 6PM. Castro Peak overloaded at prime time. I use a cell to TELCO adapter to make it my only home phone.

I live in Malibu, and can honestly say that the best overall provider for the malibu area is sprint.
