Perfect signal all the time on 2G, even indoors and in my car. 3G is dreadful everywhere in the county. When I debranded my phone and forced it onto 2G, my service became much more reliable.

Tried many carriers over last 10 years. This worked best, but still drops calls, about 1 / 3 of time on Rincon Grade. My wife's phone (same model) is much worse.

Reception highly variable - 4-5 bars to 0 within seconds. More often poor than good - if I do get a good connection it usually degrades before the call is over. Cingular seems to have poor reception in most places in Southern California.

Bad connection. Lots of dropped calls. When at home, I forward all cell calls to my land line.

AT&T = Bad reception, worse service. Dropped calls all over Ventura.

Incredible amounts of static-very annoying-reminds me of FM radio multipath, but it is very, very widespread in the Ventura, CA area. I want to go back to AT&T TDMA-very good nationwide coverage and clear connections.

Frequent dropped calls, or phone reverts to "roam" while I am at home. Very unhappy & plan to drop AT&T when my term is up.

constant dropped internet... .and calls. using the phone for wi-fi extremely painful. it drops the internet an avg of 20x every 2-3 minutes.worthless...

I chose Sprint 2 years ago as it seemed to provide the best service (I actually took phones and tested them around town) overall, but was very poor inside my house (0-1 bars) and my office (corner of Mills and Loma Vista). It still has not improved and I am beginning the search all over.

My phone is 2 years old Tri-mode and I generally get 1-2 bars here. No static or bad quality, it is either working or not. Drops call are in-frequent but it happens. Elsewhere, reception is good.
