T-mobile has outstanding coverage! I can remember 2 times throughout the entire 5 years I have been with them where I have had a dropped call.

Outside in my courtyard I get 3 bars, but inside I hardly get any. I can hardly receive texts. It's terrible.

I wanted an iPhone so I switched from my Verizon RAZR to ATT. iPhone is awesome and works great EXCEPT in my highrise condo! Unless I stand right near the window it drops calls and is full of static. ATT has tried to help by dowloading software but it hasnt helped

Its unbelievable how poor AT&T's reception is in this area of Streeterville. Considering the amount of residential buildings in this neighborhood, its proximity to the Apple store on Michigan avenue, and the fact that we are in downtown Chicago - its horrible at best. Often in my apartment building I will get 1 small bar to no service whatsoever. Even with the 3G service, there has been no improvement whatsoever. AT&T needs to install an additional cell phone tower in this area ASAP - its an embarresment to the company to have such a gap in a major metropolitan area.

I get horrible reception in my house. My calls always get dropped, or there is too much break up.

Reception is intermittent throughout this zip code and loop. Much of the conversation consists of requests to repeat. This is significantly worse than former services I've subscribed to.

I live in Printer's Row on the 26th floor, in an East facing unit. I have to have my face pressed up against the glass to get one bar. It will still drop out every 10 mintues. Anywhere else in the unit and nothing. There are no buildings in the immediate vicinity.

I concur with the rest of the Sprint reviews, not so good. I lived in DC for a while where the reception was great, probably having to do with the fact they're headquartered in Northern Virginia. Anyway, I'll probably be switching in a few months as my 2 year expires, to a TMobile Android hopefully.

Terrible reception in this area. I can go from zero to one bar anywhere in my home. It usually roams on Sprint's network. After doing a little polling of friends to see what service they have; it appears that all other providers have excellent reception in the area. I am looking into AT&T but will miss the free incoming on U.S. Cellular. I also noticed a common practice amongst US Cellular and others that their stores are locating in close proximity of their towers. Nice way to market their service.

I can't get a consistant singal EVER. "Huh?" "Can you repeat that?" "I can't hear you!" and "I'm gonna throw this f-ing thing off my balcony!" are about the only things I'm saying while trying to talk on my phone.
