One, maybe two bars. I have calls drop on me all the time from inside and around my apartment. I live on the top floor so I should get better reception.

I think you need to base your cell phone company on where you need to use it the most. I want to use mine primarily for making long distance calls from home, and there's a Nextel tower a mile from here, so Nextel works pretty well. But coverage can be spotty elsewhere. I'm hoping that when the Nextel / Sprint merger is complete and the FCC restrictions are lifted so that they can share towers completely, this will improve. Until there is better co-operation, overall they all suck eggs.

Frequent drops, unexpectedly. Overlap of two Verizon signals between downtown Haslett tower and Perry. A Nextel antenna in between can be "seen" by the phone, but not accessed. Disappointing, to say the least!

Could be better.
