absolutely no dropped calls. average bars would be 4 / 5. Never had any problems, I go from oceanside to escondido a lot, no signal problems(except palomar mtn. lol) I would highly recomend Sprint for central San Marcos, CA.

I normally get 3 or 4 bars at home (out of 5, I think), but lately Sprint's service has tanked after the 4th of July. That and the random Roaming signal switchover when I should be bars-deep in coverage is making me consider changing carriers, despite the cancellation charge. I don't know what happened to Sprint / Nextel's network, but the quality has suffered over the past month.

1 bar if I'm lucky. Even with a recent phone change. Verizon has been saying they are "working on it" for the last 2 years...

Not great strength in the house but it is better than with AT&T. At least I can make calls most of the time inside rather than having to stand outside. Once in a while I even get 3 or 4 bars inside. Usually its 2 bars.

Terrible reception! I get a lot of dropped calls and definitely not good for my business. Looking to move to a better wireless carrier!

Had Verizon for 8 years and decided to try AT&T because it was a bit less expensive and I was tired of dropping a call or two everytime I went through Del Mar. Service is Terrible here and spotty all along the 5 corridor from the 5 / 805 split to Carlsbad. I drop an average of 8 to 10 calls a day driving this stretch of road. Going back to Verizon as soon as my contract is up

I think Verizon has a tower / antenna in the clock, in San Elijo Hills, I get several bars whiles standing in front of it. We live up the hill, however, and are blocked from a direct signal. I have 1 -2 bars at home, but even outside, my calls are dropped in a few minutes.
