I had Sprint until the beginning of December and it was spotty at best (constantly losing signal). I found out that T Mobile erected a tower right behind Explorer Elementary School, so I switched. So far I have had no reception problems.

I receive poor reception in my home area.If I use an external antenna(Wilson Elec. magnate mount),I can receive excellent reception wherever I drive. I just can not use my phone at home. My friends have Verizon and T-Mobile and they have poor reception in this area.

If I use a magnet mount antenna(wilson electronics) on my car,I can receive excellent reception. anywhere in Colo Springs. I just can not get reception at home.

I regularly commute between Woodland Park and Colorado Springs. Reception in Ute Pass is OK, but spotty (as expected), but once in the clear, reception is good. I've had no trouble around most areas in the Springs. Reception inside my building on the NW part of town is good. Reception from the Springs to Ft. Collins is generally good. I get very few dropped calls. When they do drop, I notice the signal simply drops out completely - then pops back. This may occur when changing from one cell to another??

Can't even call home from my childs school. Can't hear anyone. I'm always saying "Can you hear me now?", but no one answers.

Calls often dropped

I get poor to no reception. I've tried 2 different phone and brands, no help. Ocassionally, I'll get a good signal then it goes away. Very sporadic Inside buildings, forget it

I have had ATT / Cingular for 3 years now. I get 1 bar at my house so the two Siemens phones I have are useless here. I get spotty reception around town as well. The only place I get great reception is at the many ski areas in the State. I am going to switch as soon as I can find a carrier that works in my neighborhood.

IF I want to get even one bar of reception, I have to go outside, or lean halfway out my second story window. I was told by Verizon that service would be better with this phone than the LG VX3100 that I was using before. The service with that phone was bad, but I think the newer phone is worse. Calls are dropped constantly. I get lots of static when a call actually connects. The phone's Analog reception is useless, it literally takes forever to connect, if it does at all. When I'm outside, I can get the phone to connect with one Bar of reception for a few minutes, but then my call is lost. Inside however, I rarely if ever can get even one bar of digital reception, and only occasionally get a bar or two of analog signal. I'm less than 5 feet from a large window as I type this, and my phone as ZERO service. Why is it so difficult to get reception in Colorado?? I'm from New York, and I got reception EVERYWHERE.

Some corrections to my first blog on Sprint PCS. When asking for them to wave your contract without a fee. Talk to the customer service people on your regular phone. Call their state wide customer service people and do-not waste your time going down to store on North Academy. I had found speaking directly with the head office I have gotten better responses from them. AS I stated even if the map shows us in their calling area the rep that terminated my contract for free said more than once to me that I was not and that they have had troubles as I spoke about with the voice mails and having to find a ear bud that work right. Please also note do-not use the mute button on this ear bud / mike, it will hang you up in the middle of a call. Than you'll get a screen sayiing you have not set up the voice command address function. But other than that if you want to stay with Sprint you should get a clear phone call. Now that is with the A460 I spoke of. But I have had others tell me throughout the town they have had sim troubles as well in the city. I found the best place to talk was the drive on I-25 from Denver into the Springs and visa / versa. Pueblo was another animal when getting into low areas. As far as being on the highway in other states like out on I-80, even in roam I got no signal at all till I reached a major city. That was not a nice feeling when you are traveling with your family and kids along. Even some major cities I had troubles connecting to whoever. Like I said a very scary feeling. Being a retired disabled veteran I bought the cell for just these reasons and to be able to have a free line open while on my puter. As I said it seems that us Colorado Springs users are a leg down with all the electronic micro waves we get hit with from mainly I feel is do to military bases. Also note when driving in a heavy populated areas where there is a lot of electronic mirco wave tech being used like driving by gas stations and fast food resturants you can lose contact there too. The signal that is being sent to the cashier inside from the pump works on this system and so on for when people order food. I figured this out just by trial and error and seeing how my car radar dectector goes crazies in the city. Also many other companies use each others towers and they can get over loaded and than you have to consider satalite positions for the tower to bounce your signal off to the Satalite. Good luck everyone and GBU all WG... .
