I've had a Samsung A460 for over 2 years now. I normally get out whenever I make a call and is pretty clear on both ends. Though it took me up till last month or so when I purchased a Belkin ear bud mike set from Wal-mart for about 17 dallors. I bought the universal one. Mind you I had tried 4 other ear bugs / mike and never found one to last very long before it broke down. So prior to that I would have to talk into the mike on the phone like I was using a CB mike and than turn the set back towards me to hear the persons reponse. It drove me nuts all this time. (And missed what the other person was saying) The original Touch Point phone I started out with work so much better till they went to their new service technology that the Touch Point would no longer work right. I finally got mad enough to call Sprint and tell them that I had it up to my neck with the service as well. And that I had planned on dropping them Dec 18th 2004. I had been keeping track of my contract and when it was to expire and it was due to expire Dec 26, 2004. I seen this on my contract online and with the paper work I had when I purchased the phone. Well the day I went to cancel my plan Sprint swicthed my contract without my approval that day to end Dec 26, 2006. Needless to say I about blew a gasket. I call customer service and they said that was incorrect and I had no other choice but to stay with them. (Unless I wanted to pay the 150 early fee termination cost) Well just this past two weeks ago I call and decided to just pay the 150 early termanination fee. But after 4 calls I was able to get a honest rep that said sir your really not in the service area and he waved the 150. So this coming up Monday 26th of Sept I'll be through with them. I too had troubles with getting voices mails up to 4 day's later. My brother in Alabama had the same trouble and went to Cingular and has the new Razor and has no troubles at all with it. But that doesn't help us here in Colorado after reading some of the Cingular customers reviews on here. So I have know clue who I will go to now. Totally stumped after reading reviews to see who seems to be the best carrier. As I said for the most part I always had clear calls as long as I used the ear bud mike Universal one. Wal-mart carries them and everyone said I sounded like I was on a regular phone. But if I forgot to bring it along with me in my busy life I was doomed. Sprint offered me another phone because I earn it with the timeframe I had been with them, but I said no unless they would allow in to test some of their phones for free and compare them. I have't got a yes answer on that one and don't think I will. But I will try again. The service at the North Academy Sprint store is very bad. When having troubles with the phones I talked about they always wanted to give me a used one of the same style or a repaired one. Or give me another brand phone. I had to threaten them with a lawyer to get a new one each time, while in the warrenty timeframe. I think for the most part why we all seem to be getting bad reception is because we live near many military bases that interfere with the connections and sound QA. Plus many low points in town. All I had to do was drive pass The Qwest hub on Galley rd and it was a sure deal I would drop. Please note people that are using Sprint PCS we are not in their calling area and that is why we do-not get voices mails for days. They will wave the contract early termination fee SO I would highly take my advise and tell them what I have said here. Don't let them fool you. If they get funky with you, ask to talk to a supervisor and case closed than ;) Good luck and I hope this blog I wrote is helpful Sincerely WG.

service is sporadic at best in my house. sometimes won't receive voicemail messages for days when phone has been operational.

The bottom floor apartments at Summerset Dr. have no service, but the 3rd floor apartment gets partial service. Sprint PCS service sucks!

I get no service inside the Walmart on N. Academy with my Sprint PCS phone

I get poor to no service any time I am in the area of Rangewood and Vickers. From Union all the way to Rangewood on Vickers... Sprint service is horrible.

Sprint has pretty decent coverage in North Central Colorado Springs. I use my cell as a home phone and once-in-awhile get a call dropped when inside my apartment. I'd rate coverage inside at 3.5 and outside at 4.0 out of 5.0. Remember that coverage also depends on the phone being used.

Less dropped calls than my previous carrier, Verizon. 4G interenet is great throughout most of the springs.

My parents visited last summer. Their T-Mobile phones received better service than our Sprint phones. So far, this is the best reception we have seen in this area. We have a signal booster, so I don't know if that made a difference, but they can walk around the house and only drop about 50% of the calls. If they are near the signal booster, they get a good signal. I think my mom's Android was able to get data without a problem. Our Sprint is good as long as you're right next to the signal booster. AT&T iphone doesn't work at all without the microcell.

Have had T-Mobile going on 10 years and have had service everywhere we PCS 'd... . Really like it and the service people have always been great, sure hope it is always this good. Can even use phone in my house, that is upstairs and in basement, on post and off... . great, great, GREAT !

I usually receive terrific coverage from T-Mobile. However, 70% of calls are dropped in my home. After bouncing back and forth between customer service representatatives for almost a month who tried to figure out the problem, I gave up my quest to send and receive calls from my home. The coverage is typically very good but the area between Circle and Chelton south of Fountain Blvd. has very weak reception.
