This whole area is weak and this phone and service will not work in my track. Zero reception in the house and maybe 1 bar outside. Tried a new phone same results.

Mostly 3 bars at home. Sometimes it jumps to 4. It's fine with me.

Drops calls all the time. Really poor reception. Non existent reception in house.

This is the corner of the cemetary and every single time I take the phone out to make a call at that corner, it just goes no bar and drops calls if I am in conversation. The thing with Nextel is that, for the most part, the service is good, but as soon as you hit a dead spot, drops the call and gets five bars two seconds later. What the hell? It is still way better than AT&T and T-Mobile...

never lost a connection. perfect reception in my house in every room.

2-3 bars in the house with antenna down. 3-4 bars with antenna up, both inside and out. Sprint coverage is much stronger in LA County, especially Long Beach. If you get Sprint, make sure you get a Sanyo phone. They have much better reception than a POS Samsung, and they're built better. Also Sanyo is what the Sprint employees use. If you like to travel to Europe, then don't even bother with Sprint, or Verizon. They both use CDMA and do not utilize SIM cards, so you can't change your Sprint phone with a SIM card because it's hard wired into the phone. Europe uses GSM, so your Sprint / Verizon phones will not be compatible...

Luckily, the weather is almost always nice in Orange County, because I have to go outside to make and receive calls here. (It's a stark contrast to my other home in Santa Barbara, where the Sprint signal strength has been exceptional)

I was using a bad Samsung blast for five months. Then finally I received today a Nokia 5310 xpressmusic. T-Mobile was nice sending me a new phone ( I am paying ); however, the Nokia neither recieves any signal. From 3 to 0 bars in less than 2 seconds. No service at all 80 % of the time I need it. Why should I have to pay extra for another phone when actually the phone company isn't delivering properly? and I don't want them neither to affect our health neither.

It toggles between 0 and 1 in the house. Outside not much better. Heading south on Bolsa Chica turning into the neighborhood (before Westminster Ave) the signal goes dead (day and night) then gets poor reception (0 or 1 bar) in the neighborhood when it does pick up again.

Call drops all the time inside the house. Outside the house its a little better, not great though.
