Living by the beach can have it's benefits, but cell phone reception is not one of them! I have good signal strength on the local streets, but inside my north-west facing apartment the signal is a 1 / 2 bar. And I do have windows. There are just no cell towers to the west, north or south of my area. They are all east of PCH. The odd thing is I can send and get texts... .. just poor phone signal. I asked the local Sprint store and they said "Yeah, signal is poor on s catalina" as a matter of fact. The Sprint sales representitive suggested I buy a signal booster from them for a hundred bucks. I told him it's not my job to get my phone a better signal, it's yours! 8 years with one company, and still the same dead spots exhist. I just don't think the cell phone companies care anymore, they just want you to sell you app's.

I had my LG lotus for a year and it had the worst reception down at the beach. It was really impossible to make or receive calls when at the beach. My old Samsung I had for over 4 years worked great, so I know you can get coverage there. I just got the LG Rumer Touch and it get bad reception too, so I'll be trading it in before the 30 days.

One bar flicker at best. This is a big dead area here... They need to put one huge tower at the top of the hill of 190 / Harkness

I get extremely poor reception inside and outside except a few random times I end up with 2 bars. I have never had more than 2 bars and they usually disappear.

I have great Sprint reception throughout Redondo Beach except for 1-2 blks N. of this intersection. Drops calls here everytime. Otherwise have had good experience with Sprint here and would recommend.

Sprint does not work at this location. It works poorly in other nearby location. I do not recommend Sprint if you live in Redondo Beach. My cell phone does not work in my house meaning I need a separate landline.

Never had a problem anywhere with in a 5 mile radius.

Good around the South Bay, bad in side houses and buildings.

same as other comments. service not awful tho, Sprint put antennas in airports so fone works better from runway than at home. Sprint says fone need reprogram, did that, now got new, same problem, dropped calls from home.

Sprint barely works here, however my roommate has Cingular and he doesn't seem to have a problem with service.

Great reception! Never a missed call. I wish the San Gabriel Valley would have as great reception as here!
