Sprint service is terrible, I can get weak signal on one side of the house only though Sprint assures me their coverage is wonderful and I'm in the middle of their signal area. Big attitude change by them after complaining, my problem and there's a drop fee. Will never use Sprint for anything again.
I personally think the problem I am having with reception is the NEC 525. It does not seem to be a very good model, maybe they should have incorporated an antenna. Hopefully with cingular buying AT&T it will improve service and signal strength. I used to have Cingular but I decided to switch to AT&T after 4 consecutive months of being double billed by Cingular. I just hope that that crap does not start again.
In most areas around Indy, I have perfect signal strength. Around 71st / Allisonville it drops some, but otherwise, no problems. Used phone downtown, in Broad Ripple, Carmel / Fishers, and in Greenfield, no problems.
At my home near Washington and Mitthoeffer I usualy have 1 bar of signal strength on my V600. My mother and father also have the same phone (bought a family share plan from AT&T GSM) and they get the same. Sometimes it jumps up to 2 bars and sometimes down to 0 bars. When I try making a call it seems like a 50 - 50 chance of the call failing. I havnt had the phone long enough to check it while I travel around my area. If AT&T tech support can't help me out then we will probably return all 3 phones and cancel the family plan.
Verizon has good state wide coverage. State police have 1400 phones. The branch (another agency) that I am has 14 phones, shared minutes (3000) so that no one user goes over while another under uses. We are saving the taxpayers about $250 a month over the three analog phones we had plus pagers. It is actually cheaper to go this route!
The one problem is the AudioVox 9155. It just has not held up like the previous models. We are seeing them replaced by a better AudioVox.
