I have four bars at all times inside my apartment and the walls are very thick due to it being an old building. Friends who have Sprint and Cingular get no reception inside but I can make / receive calls no problem. If you live in Elmhurst Verizon is for you!

T-mobile is the best service in chicago hands down. Look at all the people who have problems. Can you say Motorola? By far the worst cell maker in the world for signal... ..aside from RIM. Call your provider and get a nokia. YOur experience will be much better. It isn't always good to go with the phone that looks the best or is free.

Reception inside my house is very spotty. I rarely get more than 3 bars and they fluctuate during the call and often drop the call. Depending upon the time of day, I may only get 1 bar and cannot make a call. I cannot see how anyone can hope to depend upon this kind of service as their only mode of communication.

Reception is awfull. Can't ever get calls, and texts are spotty or delayed. Sprint service coverage is terrible.

Do not even think about starting a contract with Sprint if you live near Elmhurst. I have been a customer for 12 years and FINALLY convinced them to let me out of my contract at no charge. They told me they are working on updating 6 towers in my area and that they 'should' be done by June 23rd. The reception is horrible: dropped calls, difficulty hearing, etc. I do not have a smartphone which for those, service is slightly better. Anyway, Sprint is prepared to deal with complaining customers over this so you HAVE to continue to complain and be persistent. It took me 3 weeks and hours on the phone to get a few discounts on my monthly, a booster for my home and then finally to be released from my contract.

The reception is very very poor. Very frequent dropped calls. Thinking of switching to T Mobile.

about all I get now is an occational text. two years ago when I got phone AT&T was great.

Service is HORRIBLE. no service in the house, no service outside near the house. calls don't come through to phones and can't be made out. texts come through hours later. we have 2 3gs and 1 iphone 4. so unacceptable and company being stingy about giving microcell. about to lose our business of 3 years.

We use to have decent cell service but now we are constantly getting Searching, failed calls and no Service. We have 3 iphones 2-3GS and 1 Iphone 4 and they are all experiencing this problem. We are almost ready to switch to Verizon.

ATT cell coverage inside my York St. home is horrible on any phone used. Professional use is out of the question, I have to ask all callers to wait for me to call them back on land line. ATT advises me to stand outside or on roof. Very helpful advice! This is the absolute center of the Chicago area. ATT, get a map! Contract is up, moving on.
