Constant dropped calls. Signal Strength one bar. Signal strength rarely goes above two bars. Standing still with two bars on the phone the signal drops to zero all the time disconnecting calls. MetroPCS customer support useless.

I recently switch my 2 lines from AT&T and my Wife from Sprint over to Verizon. The service with Verizon is so much better then it was with AT&T and Sprint. We have not had a dropped call yet and the service is strong. The 3G data is very fast. No problems with Verizon. We are very happy with the service and customer service.

Never have a problem with reception at home or at work. I am one of the few that has no problems connecting at the office. Sprint has been great.

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.

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.

Bars inside and outside vary from zero to three. Calls drop about 50% of the time. Even Sprint is better here.

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.

I usually get 2 bars out of four inside the house, 3-4 outside. I'm actually impressed with the reception I get, even though all of the reviews say reception sucks anywhere.

I've had piss poor reception with Virgin all over the country. Bought a phone when my old phone got crushed and T-Mobile has horrible customer service. Bleh on both of them. Need to find a decent provider.

We have had our new T-Mobile phones for a week and they map showed the coverage in our area wasn't going to be the best. We have had no problems with it at our house so far. (Came from Metro PCS, which worked well too)
