area near Harmony Middle School is really lame. I can't effectively make any voice calls. However, I get enough sporadic service to send text messsages.

Cingular coverage in Overland Park is pretty solid except for two areas I've lived. If you live in Skyler Ridge apartments right across Metcalf from the Best Buy, you are going to get extremely crappy reception. I checked the coverage maps and everything outside the apartment complex is great, but in the complex is their worst signal coverage. Also Metcalf and 83rd St.is a horrible coverage area for Cingular and T-Mobile. Both spots your conversation will crackle and break up even when you are outside. I tested with Motorola V180, Nokia 1100, Siemens CF62T.

I have come to the conclusion that the MODEL of phone you have makes all the difference, so consider that when looking for new service (consider the PHONE and not just the carrier). Two different phones with same carrier may have different results. If you have a dead area, borrow a friend's phone if its different and try it in that area... you'll see that I'm right. I travel from OPark to KCMO daily and have zero dead areas, period; doesn't matter if I take 135th or 119th, downtown, wherever. I don't recall the last time I dropped a call.

More than half of the calls made from the Johnson County Community College campus are dropped. On the other hand, I generally have problems with Sprint in Johnson County, KS. You would think that Sprint would put up a sufficient number of towers in the backyard of its world headquarters.

Reception varies - in house, lucky to get 2 bars, usually 1. Standing in driveway, get 3 bars. Driving around, usually 4 bars, only a few dropped calls. Service seems generally ok. No one I know is entirely happy with coverage, no matter what company they use.

Extremely inconsistent. I've had two phones under this plan (the other being a Samsung E105) and still having the same reception issues. I could be standing in one spot in my house and hear fine, but the person on the other end tells me they can hear nothing at all. I find myself roaming around my home trying to find the right "spot". Outside of my house in the driveway and surrounding areas I hardly hear at all.

This is were I lose more signals than anywhere else.

I can stand in the parking lot of Rosana Square shopping center, call for pizza take out across the street, and they always tell me I'm cutting out bad. Virgin uses the Sprint network and it stinks!

Almost always drop calls at this intersection. Every day on the way to the sitter- rarely do I keep a call here.

I've had T-Mobile for about 2 years and have been very satisfiied. The only time I've had any problems is when I went down to my grandma's town which is a little hick town in Oklahoma. I couldn't get any service there. I wouldn't use Sprint if they paid me. Well..maybe I would, but I'd still use T-Mobile.

It use to drop signals every call when reported to Sprint they couldn't help... canceled my contract with Sprint and switched over to T-Mobile keeping fingers cross

Outside and near front awesome reception inside though is not good at all maybe 1-2 bars at best.

Inside our house, I get the worst reception of anywhere in 3-state area. The only calls I ever drop are the ones where I run out of battery power, when call is over an hour long.

Where does Sprint work in KC? No where, its just horrible everyhwere you go. Out of 10 calls made I get about 3-4 dropped calls. It is horrible and it does not matter where I am. Spotty coverage, phone will always say "redialing" when I make call. I am on my 3rd phone.

Poor reception in the Sprint building itself.
