good 4G in des moines, 3g was ok on the southside but on it seem I got the best on the westside pulling 25meg download and 8meg upload on 4G on southside with 4 bars

I was so sick of all the drop calls on AT&T. A friend of mine switched to Verizon and said he had no problems, so I switched my 4 lines to Verizon. I have to say, it was a very smart move. I have not had any drop calls. The service is strong, and the 3G covers more then AT&T does.

Good reception here after a restore to factory defeats and NOT restoring by back from the 2g phone. No 3g however. Hopefully someday soon. 10 / 10 / 2008.

Never dropped a call in Des Moines. I travel around the city and around the state often and have always had great reception and service with U.S. Cellular in 8 years!

i used to have zero signal when I first got this phone back in march but out of no where this summer, I sat in my second floor bedroom and had 5 bars.

Varies inside the mall, but never looses service. Only seen it go as low a 3 bars.

Reception is always good. 4g has worked intermittently recently. I used to have US Cellular, which worked very well, and I am very happy with Sprint and my Evo 3d.

I love Sprint! I've had no problems with them and I have been given excellent customer service (which a lot of people seem to say otherwise, but perhaps they are being bad customers by not controlling their tempers? Just a thought... can't say whether that is true or not)... Anyways... In Des Moines I have only two troublesome spots: The first being on the first floor of the hotel I work at (but on the other three floors I get perfect signal!) and whenever I'm in the Jordan Creek Town Center area... texts and calls incoming and outgoing are fine, but when I access data, it's as if it just crawls slower than 2G speeds! The Sprint authroized retailer employee in JCTC is aware of this, but nothing has been improved. But to be fair, I was at Jordan Creek today and the speeds were moving along rather fine (Foursquare was working at tip-top whereas most of the time at JCTC it barely works... ) Other than that, I have EXCELLENT coverage with Sprint! I would rather have Sprint than Verizon or US Cellular, but I have to say when I had AT&T (Cingular; January 2006-December 2009), it worked perfectly in Des Moines, no matter where I went! But I switched to Sprint because my work location has Sprint (2G only, unfortunately) but not AT&T (roaming partner GSM coverage).

Again, I love updating my posts :P. Anyways... I'm at the AIB College of Business in Des Moines, Iowa and I'm SO glad I get service now! No more driving three to five miles outside of town to check to see if I have text messages ugh... but Churdan STILL has no coverage. Now that I have service (amazingly in Des Moines in some buildings such as the Wal-Mart I work at, it does not work 80% of the time in the back of the building... but not NEARLY as bad as reception you get in buildings in Mankato, MN!) It's just nice that I can be reached anywhere at anytime now! I am still a loyal Cingular fan and will continue to be :-).

No matter where I go in Des Moines I can use my U.S. Cellular phone. I've been a customer for a long time and tried several different phones. They all seem to work great!
