Just got the iphone 4s in Nov last year. Reception has been great with this phone over what I had with my previous BB. Big caveat here. My home reception stinks so Sprint sent me a an Airave which is hooked into my hi-speed internet. I have had it for 2 years now. Nevertherless I can tell a big difference in reception with my 4s over the BB outside my Airave coverage. The cost of my Sprint plan beats the tar out of any of the other carriers and the iphone and Airave have fixed my reception issues.

I've had the HTC hero with Sprint as a carrier and it drops calls ALL THE TIME. or, the person on the other end says it was ringing and ringing and I didn't pick up (this happens while I am holding the phone) Or, while I am talking, the phone connects over to the incoming call, so in mid sentence I am talking to someone else. This is the worst coverage I have ever had in my life, and every time I complain to Sprint, they tell me that the tower over by WSU is having problems. Its not me, not the phone, its the tower. For 18 months. I'm looking for a new carrier, new phone, new anything-but-sprint.

Reception wise its not horrible, but the phone does cut in a out a lot. I've had nothing but problems with Sprint from day 1. I am glad my contract is over this month! I'm going elsewhere!

Can get 1 bar in 2 locations in my house. Drop calls about every 15 seconds for blocks around my house. I drop calls at 13th and Broadway (practically the center of town) and on Rock Rd.(hardly rural). I am so glad my contract with Sprint is up in 2 months.

poor reception, internet PCS rarely works, or kicks offline often.. very disapointing for the money spent.

Although the reception is quite good in most of Wichita, my phone goes into digital roaming much of the time. Lately, when people call me, the phone doesn't even ring. I moved to Wichita about 6 months ago, and the problems just keep getting worse. Ever since Sprint merged with Nextel things have been going down hill. I just ordered a phone through Cingular and will give it a try. After reading reviews on here, I am fairly convinced it could be even worse than Sprint, and I will be sending the phone back within the 30-day trial. Perhaps the best solution is to move back to Minnesota or Iowa...

Sprint service has pleased me, I've been with them for 3 years now. In certain types of construction, (ie. steel buildings, concrete buildings) the receptions gets kind of iffy, also in my basement. But... There really isn't much roaming even in little towns hundreds of miles away. You still get Sprint service, and you're never out of your "service area" which means you won't be charged for using someone else's towers / network, ect. For example, I moved to Indianapolis and my phone never worked better without having to change my plan or coverage region. Only downside to Sprint is while in store, you really can't get questions answered regarding phone problems, but I have only had one problem since being with Sprint, they are doing something right...

No problems here. Maybe a few small spots where the signal drops out, but very rare.

I've had quite a few dropped calls with Sprint in this area and in others. They seem to have decent coverage, but I've still had calls dropped with my phone showing full-signal (and I did have my phone replaced).

Have to leave my Treo next to my living room window to be digital with no bars, otherwise it's roaming everywhere else on property including in the back yard. Experimented with Digital Roaming feature off and on, same (lack of) signal. Had local Spint PCS branch run diagnostic test on my phone and came up fine. They said there's a tower relatively near my house and they would look into the problem. That was 2 months ago, no word yet.

I get generally good reception all over town... except that I work very close (just east of)21st and Broadway where I get the ROAMING icon all day and night... .I don't even know anybody in ROME!

This area just sucks for Sprint now. T-Mobile users get full signal in this area now.
