i think once every two months I get a "network busy" thing, I wait a minute or so and its ok. somtimes I may lose a call going past forest preserves. T-Mobile and Verizon have been the best reception for me. My contract has been up for like a year waiting for ATT to get their network together so I can get an iphone. looks like that isnt happening anytime soon so tmoblie will get another two year contract from me, mortorola cliq pre orderd!
never had any problems since '99 and now its 3g! Windows Mobile with High Speed is soooo much better than any iphone could try to be- no dropped calls, even works in subways, and I get high speed streaming video, email, or what ever I want
Just picked up the Blackberry Tour on Sprint. I had looked at a number of carriers and wanted the BB Bold on AT&T, but was scared away by these reviews. I'm glad I waited. The Tour is incredible and apparently the Sprint network in Chicago is the best. This is a very informative site. Glad I found it before making a purchase.
No complaints about my Verizon service (except price). I have been a customer for apprx. 14 years, and in that time I have seen friends and family try various other carriers. In the end, they come back to Verizon because the coverage is excellent.
Sprint's service just keeps improving! I laugh at all the poor folks stuck with iPhones on AT&T. I'm sure people can't wait until the iPhone comes to Verizon. Sprint service in Chicago is probably the best of any carrier. All my friends on AT&T complain constantly.
After trouble with AT&T (as documented by local media) service troubles (degraded service in the Lakeview area because of poor capacity), I decided to switch carriers. After reviewing the message here, I decided to give Sprint a try especially since they have the Palm Pre. EXCELLENT service from Sprint. I couldn't be happier.
Sprint rocks in the area. In the basement I still get 4 or more bars. I switched from ATT which was lousy. Kept getting dropped calls even in the backyard outside.
i've had Sprint for over 2 years now and it's way better than cingular / att! it's just a bit expensive. I get coverage everywhere. very seldom do I drop calls.
