Very Good Signal inside and outside my house. Finally Sprint has 3g in Crestview. I have a meter on my phone and its currently showing 3g speeds.

Just moved here from Tucson where I had excellent reception. Inside my house and around the outside my phone is constantly roaming which means I am missing a lot of phone calls and my voicemails show up hours later. My phone calls usually get dropped or fade in and out. I constantly have to have my phone hooked up to the charger inside the house. I get reception here and there driving around with the usual one to two bars. Just found out that the tower is 3.56 miles away from me! When I lived in Tucson, this phone worked in elevators and in the basement and in other buildings where no other phones had reception. BUT, I get perfect reception on the bridge right next to the Nextel store! AT&T has one tower, that I know of almost right next to the Sprint tower and he gets reception all over the place!

Sprint PCS doesn't work at all in the Shoal River Golf course area or the Eglin Reservation. Not sure if the phone is the problem or just not getting coverage.

Sprint has great reception in Crestview, Niceville, FWB, and Pensacola. However Sprint gets bad near Shoal River and you don't have reception between there and just past 123 to Niceville but most cells do not work in that area. The outskirts of Crestview aren't the greatest and Baker isn't that great but with Sprint Buying Nextel when I had Nextel the area Sprint has problems Nextel doesn't and vice versa. Overall Sprint does better than Nextel but as they combine I forsee much greater coverage. Although Sprint doesn't work well at home on the outskirts of Crestview it is great in town and at both colleges OWC and UWF and in town I never have a problem. I recommend Sprint.
