4-5 bars, 5 at night indoors. I have had Alltel for 5 years now and the reception gets better and better, Even up north when I am in Michigan. Up in the UP of Michigan I even get coverage.

Where I live in Lehigh Acres and Alltel is the only phone that I have actual reception in my home. I had Sprint but had to go outside my house to get a signal and use my phone. Inside my home I have between 3-4bars reception. I've also had several friends that use other carriers... .verizon, nextel, Cingular and metro PCS and none of these had more than 1 bar and dropped calls almost immediately after connection. For country club east area I highly recommend alltel.

I went from Sprint to AT and T. From in the house my calls are constantly in and out. Outside on the porch the same thing. I'm not happy with AT and T or Sprint in this area.

I have a job that involves a lot of travel around fort myers every work day. I work from the back of lehigh acres in 33936 all the way to south fort myers and estero. Call reception and quality is fine outdoors, however to make a call in any structure you have to stand by a window to make sure the call doesn't drop and you don't break up. It's not really that bad though only happening occasionally. The major issue is the data speeds which are almost non-existent. Every single zone I work in I am completely unable to use any kind of web surfing or streaming video. With speeds as low as.10 Mbps. Sprint will not do anything for you and clicking on the network upgrade process map only shows past updates to local cell towers and upcoming updates in the next 6 months. There are no specific dates or upgrade descriptions when you click on a tower. Heavy data users should avoid Sprint in this area as it is useless. You cannot break contract and Sprint will do nothing for you.

The main purpose in purchasing the Galaxy S2 was to use it. Unfortunately, with minimal at best reception (Cellular and Internet) my phone is always searching and loading. This causes my battery to die within 6-8 hours on standby. 3-4 hours with actual usage. At this point.. Id rather pay a few extra bucks for Verizon than keep what I have and get nothing. Sprint really needs to step it up.

Sprint reception here in lehigh is horrible. Sprint needs to step up with their towers here.

3 of the same make and model cell phones, all get 0 to 2 bars. Terrible reception. Sprint always wants you to take the time to take all of the phones to a service center to be checked. Our phones work great all over the country except when we are at home. It's not a problem with 3 phones, it a lack of signal in this area.

I currently have Sprint. This service is horrible. I have to stand at the end of my drive way to talk. If I move slightly or the wind blows I loose the call. I do not recommend this provider to anyone. I am finally up in Dec. I will be changing carriers.

Outdoors I get one bar, and indoors sometimes we get 1 bar. I even installed a cell phone repeater in our home to help out, but the signal is so weak outside it does not help indoors. Sprint has many dead areas in Lehigh Acres, and when traveling out west in Colorado, it is near non-existant.

In my home, I get one bar. My wife's cell will not work in the home. I have added a PowerMax DA4KSBR-50U cell phone repeater on our home. Now we do not have dropped calls.
