I've had Sprint for the last 4 years, The signal reception at my house is non-existant. It works best when am outside on my roof, I get 2 bars then. There's spotty reception in Davenport, most of the time I get between 2 and 3 bars. Even in Chicago when I go there I get spotty reception and a week signal. I travel with a lot of diffrent people between Omaha and Chicago ant it appears that the best reception is with Cingular (typically 4 and 5 bars) and Verizon is next with 3 and 4 bars. Most of the other carriers run between 2 and 3 bars. Over the past 4 years Cingular has definitely risen to the top of the heap with their "more bars in more places" campaign. Of course this was not a scientific study, there were many diffrent phones in many diffrent vehicles in a whole bunch of diffrent places, getting the information was just a curiosity thing that I decided to keep track of in my vehicle log book. Most of the people I rode with thought I was a little off-center for keeping track, but they're the ones asking ME "which carrier I should go with?".
