Let me start off by saying I've been using cell phones in the denver area for the past 11 years. I have used AT&T (first 4 years), T-Mobile (next 3 years), and Sprint (last 4 years). Of the three T-Mobile was by far the worst and of the three Sprint has been by far the best. The only carrier I haven't used obviously is Verizon (the carrier almost all of my co-workers use) and from what I have seen Sprint and Verizon are pretty much on par with each other as the two best carriers in Denver. The thing that seperates it for me is that my bill is $30-40 less per month then my co-workers with similar plans through Verizon ($360-480 p / yr savings). Also, I just want to note that I use 3000 plus minutes per month all across the Denver metro area so my opinion should hold some weight. In all my time with Sprint I have only had one major area where I couldn't use my phone and that was my parents brand new house out off Smokey Hill and E-470. That issue was fixed when my dad was given an Airave device by Sprint and now when I visit my parents I get a consistent 4-5 bars in and around there house. Their customer service which once was a major pitfall for the company has now become top notch. So if you're looking to switch carriers and you want top notch service I highly recommend giving Sprint a shot. P.S. I don't work for Sprint... just love their pricing and coverage in Denver and actually everywhere I have traveled over the past 4 years.

Except for a dead spot at Ken Caryl and Wadsworth going North, Soputbound is fine, I VERY rarely drop calls. Sprint amazes me sometimes with where it will work when I go 4 wheeling in the mountains. However, just in the last few days, Pandora will not work in my neighborhood. 2 blocks away from my house, it starts right up. As soon as I turn into my neighborhood, it shuts down. Other apps work fine. Same thing with Slacker. This is annoying as hell, and Sprint is going to swap me into a different Blackberry. If this doesn't resolve the issue, I may be dumping Sprint after a little over 4 years.

excellent coverage except in roxborough park / arrowhead area.

I also have good reception going north and south on University, east and west on Arapahoe, east on Dry Creek and west on Dry Creek / Mineral.

Excellent voice quality. Get 140 kbit / sec consistantly using EDGE to access Internet

I travel a lot in and out of the U.S. In every country I have visited I have never lost reception, only in the middle of the ocean. This is great for a travler like me. Even in my basement I get 4-5 Bars. With Verizon I never had any inside and maybe 1-2 outside.

behind the hogback off of c_470 T-Mobile works well at my house and all street locations within the valley.

I have had my Sprint PCS cellphone since 2002. The reception is always good, no dropped calls. No problems whatsoever.

Ever since the Qwest / Sprint deal, my service is great all the time. My phone only displays 4 bars, and around town, I never drop down to 1. My nieghborhood is kind of in a hollow where you wouldnt even expect to get any cell service... .and I can manage 1 bar. No static or dropping calls, even with just one bar. Heck, I even get 3 bars up 285 and all the way up I-70. I use my phone in Winter Park, Connifer, Deckers, and Steamboat fairly regularly. Never in town, either, usually at the resorts, or even better; skiing. Nothin beats being able to text message on the lift!

1. Good quality connection. 2. 5 to 10 minutes later the voice quality goes very bad or the call is dropped altogether. 3. A redial results in a repeat of steps 1 and 2.

Have not had many dropped calls except inside my house. But family members in Castle Rock are always having trouble with dropped calls.

It isn't a full signal but it might as well be because the reception is perfect for me.

I get really good reception where I am. In fact, I've never had problems except in the basement of my home. It's like I'm not even talking on a cell phone. The reception never gets fuzzy or breaks up. I can always make a call no matter where I am, and my text messages send really well to my husband at work 20 minutes away.

Reliable reception with no dropped calls or noise.

My home is almost as far south as you can get in Highlands Ranch and the computer at the T-Mobile store at Park Meadows predicted marginal coverage. The actual performance with my Nokia 6610i tri-band phone has been much better. Outside: 7 bars (full scale) to 5 bars while walking around the neighborhood. Inside: 5 bars. In My Basement Office: 3 bars, but useable. I've been comparing T-Mobile coverage with my Sprint's coverage (I've been using them for 4 years) and have found that T-Mobile coverage in HR, Littleton and SE Englewood is as good or better. Very rarely is the Sprint signal stronger. I travel overseas and don't want to carry an extra phone for use in the US, so I'll be switching to T-Mobile.

overall good but they lied to me about whether I had to renew a contract to get text on all phones with unlimited texting. I got two $90 bills (in addition to the 158), and I hit the roof on the second, one guy said he would refund half of the second one, I called back to follow up on it and "there were no notes". Do not give a teeneager a Verizon phone without blocking the colored text crap. I have spent hours reconciling their little profit centers. I do not want to renew with them now.

verizon used to get no reception in the valley. Now I get 2-4 bars at my house and around the valley. they must have put up a tower here. Yip Hee!

Shows reception, connects call but drops suddenly without exception. This is true east of Pierce and along Ken Caryl to Platte Canyon and Mineral.

reception poor inside house, even if I'm standing on one place

Bad coverage... most inbound calls go right to voicemail and my phone rings once and shows 'missed call'..service ok around denver.
