Used to have excellent reception. Since 06 / 29 / 10 there has been little to no reception. I still have 4 bars ont he phone (out of 5), but can not make or place calls and got two texts over 2 and a half hours after they were sent.

Signal here ebbsand flows - almost as if the tower is a rotating beacon. Fair signal strength one minute, none the next. Walkie - talkie feature often sounds like the person on the other end is speaking Klingon. We only signed on for one year, thank God! Premium price for poor service.

I am always roaming! According to Sprint's coverage map, this is an area they cover, but sitting in my living room, bedroom, outside in the yard, anywhere, I almost always roaming. Sometimes the service will change from not roaming to digital roam to analog roam several time over the course of just a couple of minutes, when I haven't even moved out of my house!

I have had this phone for almost a year now, and have had no problems. Only a couple known dead spots. Mostly near the Ocala National Forest. But then deer and bear don't use cell phones.
