Voice reception is great however many people when in the area experience delayed text messages. I have experienced this with several models of phones and Verizon says they are aware of the situation. This has been the case for 6 years. Aware of the situation does translate to it being fixed apparently...

I have only been with iWireless for a couple of days and I have really tested it. I was previously with US Cellular last week and have something to compare it to. From my neighborhood in the house / outside my speed is around 100kbps. Hudson Rd area around 400kbps and between 600-800kbps in the CF Industrial park consistently. I am a bit disappointed, US Cellular at least has maps that are true to their coverage and possibly much better service. Other areas are just difficult to get a connection with iwireless... .. iwireless Unlimited plan = so / so speeds USCC similar plan in cost = 5gb limit and I could always connect in-town or out of town. Good Luck.

Have had US Cellular for years. Travel a lot and still able to get good reception in Key West. Not very good in the Bluffs on the Mississippi.

I see some of these reviews are rather old, but it is now 10 / 6 / 10 and the reception and phones are really nice from sprint. I got a great calling plan with my husband... we pay 129.99 for unlimited EVERYTHING! This means voice, text, web, etc. And night and weekends start at 7! And I live in the country in the middle of NOWHERE! I really couldn't be happier with Sprint. Cheap and Good service. I used to have Verizon and they charge a fortune... .their service was alright but I paid the same as I do for Sprint when I didnt even have internet. Let's go Sprint!

Just built a brand new house on a block were home prices range from 400 - 600k and I can't get a signal in my house, driveway, or back porch. I literally have to take the dog for a walk in order to make a call and check my voicemail. Text messages randomly come in while I am outside.

Driving from N Cedar to my job in Waverly I get incredibly spotty coverage, if there are ANY clouds, I cannot make or receive calls. Rainy and Snowy or cold weather and nothing. Last year I had my car overheat on one very cold night at 4am coming home from work and was stuck because I could not call out, not even 911. Often I cannot even get a signal in my house off Center street. Partially this is the crappy phone but it is also ATT as my wife has spotty coverage with a better phone, but better coverage than I do. This can be seriously dangerous with Iowa winters and getting stuck. Cannot recommend and I am switching next month when contract is up. ( there are also no ATT service stations here so you have to go to CR to speak to a real person)

Once you past Hudson and First and head down towards Walgreens and Fairway at Thunder Ridge, there is zero reception from ATT.

I moved to Cedar Falls from Indiana, where ATT is reliable and reputable. I read and heard so many negative things about ATT coverage here in Iowa but during numerous trips to Iowa, including lengthy stays in the Des Moines area, I have NEVER had signal coverage problems, dating back to 2005. So when I moved to Iowa and wanted an updated phone I knew I took a chance with ATT / Motorola's Tundra, but I have NO problems with the phone or the signal. As a physician who covers c / sections, I MUST have reliable service, and I am comfortable with this combination. I suspect most ATT complaints have a lot to do with 3G and with the iPhone in particular.

Only have reception if I Go outside even then only one bar. Will be switching as soon as my contract is up. Sprint store lied to us said they were getting a bunch of new towers.

Little to no reception at my home, we're down behind a hill from the main part of Cedar Falls and I have to pay for roaming service to get a decent signal. My contractor says the signal is better if you stand on the roof of the house. ;-) Time to switch back to Verizon. Sue
