need better service from Sprint for the price we have to pay

Usually no bars. Inside max on either phone or air-card is 1 bar but it drops to no bars it the wind blows (yeah, that's a joke, but the signal strength is the truth). Outside usually 1 bar, on a lucky day jumps around between 1 to 2 bars. The closest Sprint tower is at NAS JAX, next closest is at JAX airport. Sprint store told me "too bad for you". Some kind of service, huh?

No Bars, no 4G, limited voice mail. Most calls dropped, but reception is it is getting better. Phone is great, apps great. Customer Service is understanding and supportive. It took T-Mobile 1.5 years to fix the same problem.

Terrible reception. Have installed the Sprint Airave cable modem booster and that works inside but step out the door and 1-2 bars and dropping calls constantly. Live 4 miles away for 5 years (SW of JIA)and all was great, what a difference just on the other side of JIA( NE corner).

Thinking about switching just to get the iphone, but now I am nervous since I never have reception issue in my house or around my area of town. Only lose calls in a dead spot on Butler. Usually can travel from Florida to N.c with out any phone issues. Sprint has been good to me.

Horrible sound quality, people always complaing they cant hear me and I cant hear them. Inside buildings I get about 1 unstable bar, outside is ok.

sprint / Nextel has horrible reception. very un reliable sometimes get business voicemails days later. by far the worst company I have had

Poor to no reception. Almost impossible inside. Have had phone reprogrammed. Drops calls continuously; at times powers up on other networks or on roaming repetitively. Sprint suc_ _ pretty badly.

Sprint's reception is extremely substandard on the Southside of Jacksonville unless you are within a stones throw of a store (sometimes that does not help). I receive less than decent service at home and I roam at UNF. I cannot image roaming at a university with over 15,000 students. I truly believe Sprint does not have a clue.

Reception sucks in downtown Jacksonville on my phone. Half the time it shows as ROAMING and then I have to dial 1 plus the area code to call anyone!

First phone from Sprint that dropped calls everytime. Goes from a full signal to a dropped call... ... .Im very dissapointed with a company that has always satisfied me in the past 5 years..

Compared to my friends and family, Sprint, with this phone does a tremendous job. After owning several Motorola POS phones, I can say that the equipment *does make a difference*.

When at home I have to keep my phone on roaming to get any chance of a signal. All other cell providers get a great signal. Sprint replaced my phone but the signal of course did not improve. I have about 4 towers within 2 miles of my apartment, does not matter. I miss a lot of calls. I have become the customer from Hell. Although it does have its advantages, I can always tell someone I didn't have my phone on roaming so I missed their call. It's pretty bad when you are calling Sprint and the call is dropped. It's funny how I was two miles OFF the coast and I had a full signal with no roaming. Things that make you think... .

Calls go to VM without ever being received on phone- not reflected in "missed messages" or "incoming messages". VM takes up to ten minutes to post to mailbox. Sometimes notice of VM message received, sometimes VM are in mailbox with no notification. Signal varies from good to non-existent for no rhymn or reason throughout Duval. Contract up next month and I'm outta there- no more Sprint for me.

San Marco / Miramar Neighborhood. No reception to one bar inside home. One to two bars outside and drops calls 50% of time.

I have Sprint PCS and the reception in the house is "H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E"... .my husband is disgusted by having to go outside to take his calls... .I could be sitting on my couch in the same position talking to someone and God forbid I turn my head the signal fades... .It looks like I may switch to Verizon or Nextel... .Digital / Analog roam constantly pop up on my phone... ... not sure what Sprint can do about it but I'll be 1 less customer off their network.

Service inside buildings is extremely bad to none at all. My phone regularly roams to other carriers (I even had Sprint reimburse me for the charges). I have called Sprint on this several time with no solution.

I go to Baymeadows everyday to work. Baymeadows area, I have about 2 bars, which works fine for me. Downtown, I always have 3-4 bars outside, if I'm inside buildings downtown, I can have anywhere from 1-3 bars. Some buildings are better than others. Riverside (where I live), I have the worst reception when your inside (it's great outside), but no other companies are much better inside of any buildings in that area. Northside and Arlington, I have great reception. Beaches and Westside is fair. I can have my phone in my back pocket and it almost always has reception and I don't have any problems getting my voicemail a couple of minutes after the person has called if I'm out of my service area.

Reception is not very good in the East Arlington area. I also get a lot of dropped calls during rush hour. I have no signal downtown Jax while at work, unless I go outside of buildings. Verizon is what I'm looking at now or Cingular.

There is absolutely NO reception in this area from Sprint. I spoke with them and they said new tower at end of 2005.

Normally very good, 4 bar signal. Sometimes drops signal during rush hour, but not very often.

You are fine outside. Inside residences in San Marco or Granada areas, the signal can become marginal to unusable.

Outside you are okay. In a car, it gets spotty. Ditto for inside a building. Signal varies widely in a short distance.
