AT&T

I don't understand how people complain about cell service? Since when has it ever been 100% reliable? For those of you complaining about no reception, blame yourself for deciding where you live. First off, HOA's never allow towers to be built anywhere near their subdivisions so that applies to almost everything north of Constitution. For those of you who decided to live near the mountains, on top of ridges, in secluded areas... .well there's your sacrifice. Cell towers don't give off this magical reception that penetrates through thick trees, hills, or bends all sorts of ways to get to where your house is located. There is a reason why Colorado Springs was ranked second worst city as far as cell phone reception is concerned. I have AT&T and I do get a dropped call here and there but it is to be EXPECTED! If you don't get good service then switch! All carriers are going to have their good spots and bad so obviously shopping around will get you the best service... and when I say shopping I mean shop coverage NOT prices. You get what you pay for.

Sprint

we've had spring for over 10 years never a problem great service they are the best T Mobile all those other carriers they suck

AT&T

Excellent AT&T coverage in University Park and most of Colorado Springs. Not bad considering that Verizon is a dead spot where I live and it took them over 3 months and they lied, cheated, and stole every step of the way. T-Mobile also works well in this area, but I've had more dead spots around town with T-Mobile than AT&T.

T-Mobile

I have been with T-Mobile for over 10 years and have truly enjoyed their services. I continually have great overall cell phone service and customer service! I moved to this location 3 years ago and have never had a problem with my overall services, unlike my Verizon and AT&T friends.

AT&T

Overall AT&T is great nationwide. Overall coverage in Colorado springs is TOO HARD to give an accurate answer. Why? Because you might get full service in one spot and then zero in another. Every single carrier is like that. Every location is going to get different reception. If you are in Colorado springs and get any of the major carriers - AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-mobile, etc, you will get good service in general. Just some will have dead spots where you need them the most (like work or home) so you'll think that carrier sucks and assume the carrier that has reception in those two places - your home and work - you'll assume that carrier is great. Not really the case. Because they might get reception if you happen to move and now at your new house it's the opposite. It's all about location... but anyways if AT&T ever where to read this, keep adding more towers! If AT&T does they will have no problem beating Verizon.

Verizon

This site is horrible. Its inormation is out dated I liuve and travel in many of the areas people have rated and they are nuts. I have had all other carriers and they were a 5 out of ten at best. Doesnt work in an apartment? W3ell there is a thing called walls that deflect frequency. I have 850 voice and 700mhz dta that is best you can get people so pay attention to what is happening and reality of what is conceivable and what is not. By the way it doesn't work in my concrete bunker.

T-Mobile

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

Sprint

I've had Sprint for almost 4 (or 5) years. Only a couple of times have I had no signal where I've been. I've lived in Ohio, Illinois, and Colorado with Sprint. Where I live now, I go between 4 and 5 bars, depending on where I am in my apt. I get a better signal in Pueblo West on Sprint, than my parents do on Verizon. I'm able to make calls, and not "drop" them inside their house, compared to my parents, who have to go outside on their deck to make calls on their Droid 2's (Global). I even had a signal on Sprint in Illinois, compared to my grandparents on AT&T. Sure did love being able to make calls and "drop" them. Poor AT&T and Verizon. Charging more and more for less and less service.

Verizon

I am moving to colorado springs. If I live in North part of the city, Would Verizon be a good choice? I am inclined towards Verizon which works great every where else.

Verizon

SE of the Colorado Springs airport used to be very hit and miss with reception. Something was installed or fixed. Reception is great now! Got great reception on Bradley Rd. all the way through to Curtis past Shriever AFB. Also North on Marksheffel from Bradley. Used to be some big dead zones. Reception does drop to two bars heading toward the Peterson East Gate. Also, Powers South to Fountain would be hit and miss. now no reception problems at all.

AT&T

Moved here about 4 years ago for school, since being here I have had awesome reception. My freshman year I did a lot of hiking and biking and never lost service. I will say it seems like everyone here has Verizon or AT&T but I get better service from AT&T and there network never seems to be overloaded here so my internet speeds are great. I would never switch!

Sprint

I was looking to leave Sprint and go to another cell provider to save a little money - but from what I am reading - service realiability is all over the place! maybe i'll stay with Sprint! My Sprint service is excellent in the Briargate area, the only problem areas I have found are on Woodmen between Union and Academy, and on the Air Force Academy. I've been with Sprint for 4 years, and travelled all over the country with the nationwide service - no problems!

AT&T

We have had Cingular / ATT for a couple years. The reception in Widefield and throughout Fort Carson and Colorado Springs has been good with multiple phones on the family plan.

Verizon

The reception at this intersection is great... finally I can make calls inside my house... Verizon Wireless is truely the best.

AT&T

The only cell companies that really work at my home are Cingular and Nextel, that I know of for sure. I do know Verizon, Virgin Mobile, Sprint, Qwest, and AT&T DO NOT work here (0 to 1 bar).

T-Mobile

I have had T-Mobile for 4 years and have received nothing but excellent service from them, that is why I keep extending my contract. Great, reception, I live on a ground floor and use my phone with T-Mobile service for my laptop, no problems!

Qwest

Qwest works everywhere in Colorado Springs / Pueblo / Denver. A little problem in Cripple Creek. I had Verizon which is not worth the money on the west side of Colorado Springs and around Glen Eagle.

Verizon

great reception and service for Verizon wireless. recomend to everyone who has complaints

AT&T

I have wonderful reception it is the company's imcompitance that drives me through the celling. We pay our bill on time all the time, I have a 450 min. a month plan. I need no more and at this point I have over a 1000 roll over minutes. They have been charging us by the minute, even our mobile to mobile time and calls that don't exist. Dealing with this and more since we had signed the contract (this being the only reason we are still with them) we finally were under the impression everything was sorted. This morning I find out the discontinued our service for lack of payment and being "so far over due" I would never recommend this service to anyone for any reason. This kind of treatment makes me want to return and stick with a land line!

Verizon

I have tried all the carriers and by far Verizon was the Best. With Sprint my data was slow and I ran a 102 dollar data roaming bill as off network usage is 52$ a gig. With Verizon I now have 4g lte speed and it is insanely fast and works almost everywhere. When I had At@t I dropped 10% of my calls or it said connecting. No idea what is going on with that but with Verizon I dep calls far and few between. I don't get great reception in my house but hey I live on the side of a mountain. On the road no one is better. Guess you get what you pay for.

AT&T

Good compared to Verizon out here. Wish we had LTE though...

AT&T

I see a lot of conflicting information on these posts. I work from home and have no land line... therefore I rely on my cell phone 100% of the time. I've been a customer of AT&T for years, and didn't have issues with dropped calls until this last year. AT&T has really disappointed me as each call I make drops within 3-5 minutes. it's NEVER their fault, and always an excuse. I hate the thought of having to get a land line again (telemarketing) but may have to. Work requires an iPhone... however selecting a RELIABLE carrier is driving me nuts..since i'll just have to deal with a different carriers "issues / excuses" until that contract is up... such a racket!

T-Mobile

I've sold phones for 8 years now, Having all of the major carriers. Since I started with T-Mobile I've been very impressed, By far the best in Colorado Springs area. T-Mobile ranked number 1 for a reason in Colorado springs.

AT&T

In Springs Ranch area I see my signal go between 2 and 5 bars, but never enough to drop a call. Service is not as bad as people make it out to be. Unfortunately, they are a little behind getting 4G LTE to the Coloraado Springs area. Looking forward to the upgrade in data speeds.

Sprint

I know this industry, so I will not waste my time complaining about dead or weak spots in town. Sprint has always had better coverage than anyone but Verizon. Period. The issue is not having 4G yet. Colorado Springs has been left off of the 4G map for far too long now..And if we don't get it this year, Verizon here I come..

T-Mobile

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.

Verizon

No problems with reception here. But, Verizon customer service sucks, so I'm changing ASAP.

Sprint

I just left tmo recently... .. their data is fairly faster then my Sprint 3g service I'm getting around springs cuz 4g is spotty... ..tmo is good signal but bad voice. AT&T is iffy too but spotty and expensive.. if I had to choose I'd get a high end 4g android from tmo and keep them..

Verizon

I don't know why a lot of people are having trouble with Verizon, I've been just about everywhere in the Springs and Verizon reception is great! I have never lost reception. The only place I lose reception is at the Air Force Academy on the 2nd floor of my dormitory, which is under ground level in a reinforced concrete building by the mountains anyways.

Sprint

This is a trouble spot for AT&T, not sure about Verizon. Coverage is very good here on Sprint. There is no signal at all here behind Ute Valley Park on AT&T. Haven't had a dropped call yet on Sprint.
