GREAT, I always have 7 out of 7 bars, inside my house, at school, in the gym, everywhere. And since three years ago, the new EVDO network works seamlessly across the area. I love Sprint!
Inside the condo I get 1-2 bars, if I'm seated by the window. Garage reception is 0. Outside on the street the reception is 1-2 bars. Calls drop all the time, and virtually everyone I talk to asks if I'm home, because they know how bad the signal is there. Have to go to Waterford Park to make calls, and even then coverage is no good. Opened up several issues with T-Mobile on this issue, nothing has been done about it for the past two years. Tim to move to Cingular / AT&T - all my friends that have it come over and their phones work fine.
Verizon has Placed a tower in operation on the Foothill Presbyterian Church Grounds. It went into service the end of December 2006.. This tower is planned to have Cingular / ATnT on the same pole, when Cingular get around to installing it. There is also a T-Moble tower at the same address.
Call drops every time from the 85 N to 86 N onramp, so getting reception in this area is troublesome. Can only make / receive calls from home (One Pearl Place) about 30% of the time, and calls drop frequently. I've given up on voice calls from my own apartment. Hopefully Verizon will be better.
A brand new cell tower just went in at McKean and Fortini at the end of April 2007! The entire south Almaden valley now has great reception. Way to go Verizon!
