No 4G inside. Slow 4G outside (0.25-0.5Mbps). (Slow data rates (3G is 0.25-0.5Mbps). However, rarely a dropped call.

Sprint Reception is awful in Medlock Park in N. Decatur. Looks like Verizon is the only other one worth trying.

I have no reception on the east end of the georgia tech campus. The phone says I have reception, usually 2-3 bars, but the calls usually don't come through, or they are dropped within a minute of picking them up. I've also called Sprint to complain, and they tell me that must mean I need a software update, which requires an additional service charge. Of course, last time this happened to my phone, Sprint told me the same thing, and the coverage didn't really get any better.

Good or near perfect reception within City of Decatur city limits, however inside my home (also within the city limits, just south of East College Av.) reception is poor and usually requires me to step outside to use phone.

Sprint's coverage along major roads has been fairly good, but coverage at home has been troublesome at best. If I stand near a eastward facing window I can usually get two bars, but sometimes there is no signal at all. This phone was meant to replace my land line, but hasn't proved reliable enough to allow me to make the switch (so much for cutting costs). Verizon appears to have much better coverage here though, so I will soon be dropping Sprint in favor of Verizon.
