Verizon for years now. Reception generally good all over the country. LG phone has survived many drops and wettings. Simple phone but tough.

I can rarely make a phone call within a 2 block radius of my house with the phone up to my ear because my head apparently blocks the last bit of signal that makes it to my phone - Usually have to talk on speaker phone or ear piece and often drop calls or just switches to a busy signal - Talked to AT&T people, got a new phone, new sim card, reception went from little to none so I took my returned my phone and kept the new sim card but problem still remains - on another note, my roommate has the same phone and same service but has very little problem (doesn't make any sense) - after I lose reception, I often have to stand in the middle of my driveway for 20+ minutes and turn my phone off and on multiple times with about 50% of the time, I never get reception back and just give up - Makes me really miss landline phones

The signal goes from 5 or 6 bars to Zero! In at least 50% of the calls the call goes dead! I hate the service of AT&T wireless in Champaign IL. I used to have Net 10; it was a lot better signal than AT&T.

I've had no trouble with my Cingular reception. I lived in Savoy (neil and curtis) for a year, then moved to the middle of champaign. No problems either way.

Sprint Reception is great if you have a Sanyo phone. I don't know why they work so well and others don't. My wife and I have had them for over two years and after the Nextel-Sprint merger the few dead spots we had noticed in some big stores (like Schnucks) improved greatly. However, while my Sanyo had survived numerous drops it apparently wasn't waterproof. I recently picked up a Blackberry 7130e which is great for email, but is a poor phone. I think the email is on the blackberry network, while the phone service relies on Sprint's. Several complaints of calls breaking up with the Blackberry in areas where my Sanyo always worked well.

Terrible reception in apartment near downtown Champaign. I am a bit shocked, after moving from Urbana, having expected the reception to be, if anything, better. Very little reception -- dropped calls and incomprehensible calls are the rule. Very dismaying, and I too am trapped in a lame Cingular contract.

It shows full bars but the reception is not great. Although the phone has a bad reputation as the microphone is too easy to overdrive, I also get static / poor reception when listening to others who are calling from a LAN line. I occasionally get calls dropped. To get good reception, I have to go outside my apartment and walk one block south.

Really good performance from this phone and network. Virtually never had a call dropped and I even got reception in my lab - which is in the basement. Other phones on other service providers got no signal and I had three bars. Cingular are also really helpful w.r.t. service and sorting out large bills! REALLY sad to leave them but have to for various reasons unrelated to their service.

I work for sprint, most customers experiencing issues with reception on their phone more than likely do not update their phone regularly. Most phones have the option under settings and or tools to update the data profile, update the firmware, and update the PRL. All of these updates are important in making sure your phone stays up to technological par. This is why they provide updates. Not always the garunteed fix but can definately improve performance.

No service in this area or within a 3 mile radius. Once to Niel St.it's okay but otherwise a waste of money.

I don't know what everybody else on here is talking about, but my phone receives great reception all across Champaign-Urbana. The only time I have even the slightest difficulty is in our local Wal-Mart, which that is the norm from what I hear from others, and in rural areas away from the interstates, which that is what is dictated on Sprint's service coverage map. Perhaps it is due to Sanyo's greatness, but I absolutely love using my Sprint phone.

T-Moblie, unfortunately has a band of low reception that includes my house. I can only make calls in one room. Other areas of Champaign seem to get great coverage.
