I generally have good coverage from Sprint, so I wasn't expecting such a lack of coverage in downtown Oakland. Many calls couldn't be completed or were dropped. Sprint's map shows this as a high-quality reception area. Judging from other comments I've read here, this is a long-standing problem. It's disgraceful that Sprint hasn't fixed this. And the City of Oakland should be complaining about being relegated to third-class service when it's trying to redevelop it's downtown.

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.

Skyline / Redwood, Oakland, CA 94619 Tue Jun 17, 2008

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.
