Better performance after Android update but, I took the Replenish to avoid the 4G charge even though there is no Sprint 4G in Rockford. I had Nextel then switch to Sprint later after they were bought. Service West of the river seems to roam a lot but because I use it for business, the plan I have does not charge extra to roam. I am looking to switch very soon to get 4G because I am using a lot of browser search and support for business. I had Sprint / Nextel over 15 years. Decent service East but charge 4G when not available??

1-2 bars at most, move phone a little and effects reception drastically. Try to use it for Work, but the phone is not suitable for that (waiting for contract to expire). Have been with Verizon since they started, and like it except in this region. May have to consider a change, since I work out of the house and calls are integral to my business. Even tried a repeater, but that didn't help either.

Tmobile has been improving their reception and it sure is showing. I have no problems holding calls all over the city and adjoining cities.

Great service I clearly have no problems with Sprint I get awesome reception in my car while driving while I'm outside and in my home Heck I even get great service on my friends land in the country I have never had a cellular phone that gave such good coverage. Now yes I agree there is a problem on the border of IL and WI but I've heard the same problems from friends that have Verizon so its not like its just Sprint

sprint sucks in a month we have at least 30 dropped calls. very poor reception, choppy conversations. the crystal clear calls Sprint guarntees DO NOT EXIST...
