I have almost no reception in my apartment and when I do, I have to stand in one spot to get. Calls get dropped regularly too.

I would expect more from Sprint in a Major U.S. ctiy like Oakland. Service is so low and poor north of lake merritt. We live but maybe a mile from Oakland's skyscrapers... ..It's just awful, Sprint will probably no longer be our carrier if they don't take care of this by the time our contract is over in January 2009.

There are patches where there is no reception at all. I thought Verizon was supposed to have the best signal in the Bay Area! The USB data access for my laptop also doesn't work.

Inside or outside the house does not matter: reception is bad (often no reception at all), conversations break off, line gets dropped. Also there is a dead zone coming up on Redwood just before Skyline, all calls are dropped no matter what. Going down the hill on Redwood, starting at the Safeway at I-13 reception is fine, 4 bars at least.

Very poor coverage. Stuttering reception. People should band together to request another antenna!

My 3rd floor apt is on the opposite of the building from the direction of the signal broadcast. One moment I can have 4 bars, the next the tower seems to fade entirely out - all without moving. I redial my dropped call and sometimes it takes up to 10 minutes before I have sufficient signal strength. According to Sprint's coverage maps this is supposed to be an area of "moderate" singal strength... Looking forward to switching carriers once my contract is up to have better reception.

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

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 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.

Cingular / AT&T seems to be the only company with consistant reception on campus. It's not perfect, but what cell carrier is?!

This used to be a dead zone until a couple of months ago. The T-Mobile web site coverage map shows all of its cell towers. It doesn't seem to show this upgraded service as of yet.
