We've been with Verizon for about 7 years now and we've gotten great reception with them almost everywhere we've been including Mexico. Southeast Kansas doesn't have good reception but I'm not sure any carrier has good reception there! I never get dropped calls and I get clear voice transmission as well. Only my daughter uses data or Web and she's never complained about that so I guess it's good too. The biggest problem with Verizon is that they are the most expensive carrier! We're looking to switch to smart phones and it will cost us $220 / month for 3 smart phones! Too much!

I've had AT&T in Wichita for a year and a half now. Their data coverage sucks in the rest of the state (although I think they finally just greenlit 3G coverage in Manhattan), but the Wichita area is great. I work out in Goddard, and there's a bit to be desired, but I think a new tower has gone online out there because coverage has gotten a bit better.

never had a problem with AT&T have full bars and 3g all over wichita and full bars and edge when I went to idaho haven't had a problem with them at all if living in wichita don't go with T-Mobile or Sprint I used to have T-Mobile very bad service here same with Sprint can't make calls inside buildings Verizon and AT&T are the heavy hitters here in wichita

T-Mobile is by far the best in Kansas. Been a customer for 3 years very happy. Use to travel all over kansas to install satellites with two other people one was on Verizon, the other on ATT. The boss in Wichita could never get a hold of Verizon or ATT and before long my phone was the only one used to make contact. Now the other installers are switching to Tmobile. Verizon sucks, they charge way too much and they charge for the stupidest little things like transfering numbers, music etc. My girlfriend has it because her parents use Verizon and there has never been a place where she gets signal and I dont we always get the same amount of coverage and we go to northwest kansas and south Oklahoma often. Cricket is worthless to me since their signal goes to 0 as soon as you get to Kellog and 235

Switch from AT&T due to lack of native service and roaming. Verizon (now owns alltel) has great service all over the state. 3G data everywhere I go.

i've been with t mobile for 6 yrs since I moved here from cali and t mobile is awesome! I have great reception and I only pay 80 bucks a month and I have unlimited everything! ( the loyalty plan) I used to have Sprint but they were too expensive and there phones would drop calls after your on the phone for over 10 mins the damn thing would heat up and turn off...

I have had AT&T (Cingular) for 4 years now. The reception is EXCELLENT everywhere in Wichita (and I mean everywhere.) I also had great luck around surroundings (all the way to Oklahoma.) I am very happy with my cell service. I used it all over North America (US, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rica) with NO problems at all and with NO roaming at all. I also used my phone with great service in the following countries with EXCELLENT coverage: South America: Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Domican Republic, Bolivia, Colombia. Europe: Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Findland, Norway, Italy, Greece, UK, Scotland, Ireland, France, Belgium, Denmark, Russia, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Iceland. Middle East: Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Egypt, Sauid Arabia, Morocco, Turkey. APAC: Singapore, India, Malaysia, Japan, China. South Korea was the ONLY place I had major reception problem. Ciao,

I can honestly say that Alltel seems to have the best coverage, in and around Wichita, of any of the major carriers. I had Verizon for a long time(3 years) and my girlfriend had Alltel. After a few years of dating, we noticed that there were a number of occassions in which I would have to use her phone because mine (Verizon) didn't have coverage. South and West of Wichita in the more rural communites, Alltel wins hands-down. Inside of Wichita, it's about even. I'm actually using Sprint now because I have / love the Samsung Instinct but still rate the top three carriers, in order of best coverage, as Alltel, Verizon and Sprint.

no problem here; works great, as does my wireless net access.

I have been using T-Mobile for about 7 years now. I've always had great reception and no dropped calls while in the city. I don't travel outside of town too much, but the few times I have, as long as I had some reception, I could maintain a connection.

I've been with Verizon about six years and have good coverage most everywhere I go in the country

Perfect service here. Calls, messaging and web. No complaints. Never fewer than 4 bars.

Never used anything but verizon. 0 dropped calls from Wichita to Colorado Springs. My only complaint is rural areas with analog networks don't permit texting, but I've yet to find a dead zone as far as calls are concerned.

Nearly perfect operation.

I don't remember ever having a dropped call in the 4 years I have used this service. My calls are almost always clear.

I have T-Mobile and I get excellent reception just about anywhere I go within the City. I just about always have full bars of signal. I have been very pleased with the service. The only places I have had any problems were in rural areas and suburbs outside the city. Even then, I recvd ok coverage with 2 or 3 bars

I have to give my reception a 5 simply because no matter how many bars I have, I still have crystal clear reception with very little break up. I love Verizion. I can travel any where in the US and have no issues at all.

this phone has a tampa florida number. I get perfect reception in wichita with the 6010. great customer service. however, while still living in tampa, I was offered a "free upgrade" if I extended my contract. I fell for it, and was given a Siemens phone that dropped nearly every call, rarely accepted calls, and with features such as alarm that did not work. t-mobile was unwilling to take the phone back and cancel the new contract. i switched back to the Nokia and service has been perfect ever since.

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

Traveled all over the country and have had better coverage than other friends and fellow Business travelers. The only thing I don't like is that you can have spotty service along some of the major highways, but, that can be due to the land features in the area (Hills, Buildings, Overpasses).
