Golden Gate Ave. / Broadway Terrace intersection, Oakland, CA 94618 Tue Feb 19, 2008

Everytime I get to a certain point on Broadway Terrace (just past Village Market) or turn onto Golden Gate from Ocean View, my call drops. I warn whomever I'm talking with that the call will be dropping soon. I call back when I get home (on Golden Gate) but have to stand in just the right spot in my house to get decent reception.

Sprint has been very poor on upper Ocean View Dr.(nr Broadway) for the last 5 years. It has been very good almost everywhere else. I switched to Verizon when the website said I was out of contract (this was not true, and I was charged an early termination fee). Verizon has been slightly better here and excellent almost everywhere else.

I find that Sprint is the only one that works at this location. ATT and Verizon calls get dropped, so I subscribe to Sprint. Have not had any problems for over 5 yrs.

Used to be no reception at all. Last year or so, I get many calls, though they are frequently dropped. Seems that walking out to the driveway improves odds of completing a short call, but still pretty dicey

Skyline HS Area / Skyline / Fernhoff Rd. intersection, Oakland, CA 94619 Mon Feb 18, 2008

Reception is really dicey up here. Absolutely no consistency. Usually the best I can get is poor, garbled reception. A lot of dropped calls.

Sprint is unusable in the Montclair hills area. The only thing that gets through, sometimes, is text messages.

I used to live two blocks away and had very spotty reception. In my apartment now I have excellent reception and no dropped calls.

E 22nd St. / 7th Ave. intersection, Oakland, CA 94606 Wed Jan 23, 2008

I used to have Sprint and had fantastic reception inside my place (usually I was the only person). I switched to AT&T so I could use the free mobile to mobile calls. In order to make a call since the switch I have to stand on my porch or go outside. Every once in a while I am able to get reception but any breath might lose the connection. It's so bad I use my landline more than my cell if I'm at home. I hate having this service.
