Long time T-Mobile user in the Grand Rapids area. Small zones where service drops but overall excellent carrier to have. Their policies, prices, and customer service have all been better than my the other carriers in my experience. Data speed on HSPA is quite good.

EVERY TIME I TAKE A CALL AT MY HOUSE IT IS DROPPED UNLESS I GO OUTSIDE. AND i'M RIGHT IN THE CITY. I'M GOING TO AT&T.

My service was fine until Verizon took ove altel. Now all my calls are dropped unless I'm standing outside. I understand that AtT is much better in this area. I'v been fighting with these dropped called for years. Wehn my contract is up next month, I'm switching to Att. Until Verizon wants to get a tower in my neighborhood, I will have to jump ship. Put some towers up. It's SIMPLE. I wish I didn't have to leave but Verizon is doing nothing and evidently many people are bothered.

Tmobile is great in grand rapids 4g is amazing love T-Mobile the AT&T roaming is nice upnorth or out of city limits. Recomend for downtown, and east town for sure.

Ok so I'm on Boost just switched from virgin on the optimus v. Both Boost and Virgin mobile run on the Sprint network. Service here seems pretty poor sometimes I have 1 bar other 3 but never more. I know it's not the phone because my roommate is on Sprint contract and reception is the same. I just think Sprint needs to either update or put up some more towers. They make up the majority of the mobile market around this area so it would be wise if they would optimize their towers to improve there customers service. That being said I haven't had any dropped calls but the 3G is unacceptable getting 56kb 200kb on a good day. 3G is suppose to be hover around 1mb-1.5mb not the abysmal 200kb I'm receiving.

WZZM ran a story on Sprint reception in Grand Rapids. Google "More customers come forward with problems with Sprint WZZM"

I switched from Nextel to Sprint and purchased a Samsung Restore early January 2011. I now have Dropped Calls, Poor reception, Calls go into voice mail before the phone rings. Sprint has promised service improvements the end of February 2011. Then they promised improvements the end of March 2011. As of April 3, 2011 I still have only one or two bars. Anyone interested in starting a Class Action Lawsuit in the Grand Rapids, MI area ?

We have internet with Sprint and it is terrible! THe phone reception is also weak in our area. When we contact Sprint they tell youu the towers are under repair in our area. Still not better! Sprint needs to take care of their customers!

On the southeast side of Grand Rapids, I have always had problems with my reception. I frequently have dropped calls or can't hear someone very well, especially in my house. I usually have to send a text message at least 2x in order for it to go through.

3G is weak but acceptable indoors, fine outdoors. Very rarely do I have dropped calls. Voice is clear as well, no crackles. 4G service, on the other hand, is abyssmal in this area and practically a scam. I have to cross the street and stand in the park for 4G, and then it is weak.

We get reception only in one spot in the house, on lucky days. Even outside we have issues. My neighbors have Sprint and don't have this problem.

I get no reception until I drive a good 4 blocks or more down the road. It's enough to make me sell the house or change my carrier. So far my only phone that works is an old old Nokia on T-Mobile and it is spotty.

Not only does our street tend to be a dead zone, I am now having trouble up and down Cascade Rd. This is ridiculous!

Hey guys I just came back for a visit from Philly and I am completely shocked that with my iPhone 3GS I literally get the 1-2 bars tops! Maybe it's my phone I don't know I've reset it over a dozen times and it's still only 1 bar. Ive dropped 6 calls so far and Ive been here less than 24 hrs. Maybe AT&T just doesn't have good service here. Like I said before it could be just my phone too. Also I would like to add that I live fairly close(less than 1 mile from I96) and on the highway it doest get better coverage

Sometimes it is good but most of the time I am at 1 bar or no signal. It really depends were I am on campus.

I had Nextel for 7 years, and had good reception, recently I switched to Sprint because I wanted more phone features. I have had very good serivce with Sprint, I never drop calls, and seem to always have signal for calling all over the State. Internet is good, connection is either fast or not available, I find that I will occasionally have a spot where I will not get internet, but usually if I just refresh I will pick up signal again. Internet mostly goes out in Rural areas, guess you can't help that. G3 service is fast and steady, and the built in navigation is accurate, and consistant. Overall a wonderful service, I just wish there were more apps for my smart phone.

moved here from upstate in September / 09 reseption bounces from full 3G to Edge to no signal. I sit in 1 spot and watch my signal go up and down drops calls as it switches between 3G and Edge.

Horrible service inside the buildings of Davenport

Sprint and Nextel seem to be very bad, verison seems to be a bit better but not much

Reception seems to have gotten a lot worse in the last month (June, 2009). Don't know what the problem is, but since it used to be better, I suspect a network problem more than a tower problem.
