I have had Sprint for over 4 years, I will have to say I have always had great coverage for the most part. There are a few spots I always loose service but I understand why. ATT is no good thats for sure, I had them for my work phone and it sucked. I have tried to switch to TMobile but I took it back within 2 days because the service is soooo bad. The days of the past qwest was my favorite but they are now teamed up with verizon. I would go with verzion but it would cost me more than $50 per month to have the same features on my plan. Flip side I use their Curve 8330 and well that phone sucks.

I have nothing but good reception all around with Verizon. Downtown, DIA, Boulder, Ft. Collins, Colorado Springs. I have never had a problem with my reception except for where you wouldn't expect any just with other carriers (i.e. the middle of nowhere) My service is great even when I travel out of town, different states or even country.

Finally after years of fiddling with proprietary US technologies, we have the standard we should have had in the first place - GSM, the world standard!

Decent reception even though the it's a cheap phone. Virgin uses the Sprint network so coverage around the area is great, with just a few dead spots. Great coverage along I-70 west, even in the middle of nowhere on Colorado - Utah border. Verizon has no coverage west of Grand Junction. Dead spots are normal and every carrier has them. You just have to do the research on pages such as this, talking to friends, maybe even borrowing their phone to check service in the places you frequent the most. Virgin is the cheapest way to go if all you want is a phone to talk. Great Value!

verizon has the best reception hands down!! ive had sprint nextel, no good cingular, no good qwest, no good virgin, no good verizon gets the best reception over the WHOLE USA... ... i drive cross country and none of my other phones work the whole time... .ONLY VERIZON

I always able to make and recieve calls. This is also my house phone so that is really important. I would recomened Sprint to anyone.

Reception is decent in my area. My phone usually rings if someone calls. Sometimes I will recieve notice of a missed call 1 / 2 way down the street that I never heard in real time while at my house; other wise, I am happy...

Very weird in this area. Even in my house, I'll have full bars one minute, walk to the back of the house and have none by the time I get there.

In the Last 3 weeks, it seems like AT&T has turned off half of it's towers to save money. I am on the road in the Denver Metro Area quite often, and can hardly keep from dropping a call these days. I have heard the same from Co-workers and their AT&T service. I am not sure what is going on but I am sure AT&T knows, and is not talking about it. I have called to complain and they act like I am the first person to ever call in with problems. I know that is BS because everybody I ask lately says the same thing. As soon as my contract is up I am switching.

Horrible to no reception in my apartment.
