I live at I-80 and Elkhorn and work at I-5 and Fruitridge. Reception problems at both locations. Zero to 1 bars and dropped calls if I'm inside my home or inside at work. Have to go outside to make reliable calls. Could be the phone but Sprint (VirginMobile uses Sprint towers) appears to be very weak for me where I need to use my phone the most.
I get almost no service in my house. when I signed up 10 years ago they told me that they are installing a tower at Rio Americano High school which is just across from us. but that never happened. the service SUCKS.
Often calls sound like they are being made under water. Calls are constantly dropped. AT&T should be forced to stop making best coverage claims in their ads.
Great reception in my apartment near the Folsom and Watt, and Folsom and Julliard intersections. Great reception going just about everywhere in Sacramento. Verizon has been amazing in reliability and reception everywhere, even in remote locals (anyone ever hear of Georgetown? I get reception out there!). In Sac, I've gotten reception all up and down Howe, Watt, and Arden. All along 50, I-5, and 80. I just wish Verizon had the iPhone 3GS, or at least a better selection of phones.
Terrible reception. Constant dropped calls due to lost signal. Garbled sound. Moving on foot in any direction means the difference between intermittent connection and a lost signal. Wintertime is worse than summer.
