Reception inside buildings is poor. When I do receive a call it is either cut off or caller cannot hear me. However as soon as I step outside, it works fine. Problem is I don't spend the entire day in the parking lot. When I first switched to T-Mobile, I complained about this and they said that they were in the process of adding more towers. That was a year ago, and reception seems worse now. I just want a phone and carrier that is reliable. In case of an emergency, someone may not be able to contact me so I am now searching for another carrier.
I just moved to this area and I am extremely impressed with signal, call quality and data speeds. I haven't set up internet yet so I paired my phone with my computer and it's running 220 kbps on EDGE. Very happy with coverage in the area too, it seems very solid!
Have had Cingular / ATT for over 5 years. This area is the worst I have ever experienced in any area of town. Going north on Metcalf I will ALWAYS lose my call by the time I pass the Pontiac dealership. It has been this way for years and does not matter what phone I am using, ( have used Nokia gait phone for years and even this phone would shut down when I got to this area.) Think it has more to do with the huge mass of overhead wires in that area than a nonexistent cell phone tower. I think if all ugly electrical power lines and such were buried underground where many communities nationwide put theirs, cell phone reception would improve greatly all over town. so much for the Overland Park beautification project.
The area between 95th and 87th from Antioch to I-35 is poor reception. Usually only have one or two bars and sometimes ROAM. If inside a house or building the signal drops constantly, especially just NorthWest of 95th and Antioch. Sprint's Coverage Map confirms this.
