Sprint works in my apartment GREAT! I also have a Sprint data card for my laptop and speeds are very good. I have experienced no issues in my area or in East Lansing with Sprint service.

Very good reception with Nextel. Have continued with them 1 year past contract. I like the Direct Contact (walkie-talkie) feature very much.

Very bad area for Verizon. Can't hold a signal in my house. Switching services but not sure who to go with for this area.

The Alltel service in this area has been really good. I'd never really considered Alltel as of about 3 months ago but I shopped around when my Verizon contract was over and found out how many more minutes I would get for the same price as well as My Circle off my family plan with Alltel. But the coverage has been perfect around my apartment near Briarcliffe. All over the area here really I've noticed a better signal and clearer calls than Verizon gave me. Shopping out at all the local malls / outlets and at the Wal-Mart Supercenter where I do most of my shopping the signal is always great. It really doesn't drop much indoors at all. Between me trying Verizon and my friends experience with others, I would definitely recommend Alltel as the best service provider here for coverage and what they'll offer in a plan. And nobody was more skeptical than me to begin with but I tried it because of the 15 day trial. I got almost 4000 minutes for free out of My Circle last month. Customer service in my experience has been great. the store on W Saginaw Hwy. can get busy at times but they're so patient about explaining everything and helping you out. Just this past month I went over my minutes by about 200 (yes, even after having My Circle). Luckily they backdated my plan so I wouldn't have to pay any overages. So far, I've not found anything bad to say about Alltel.

I have been happy with Verizon for years. Reception and their 800 number customer service is good. However the Lansing store on Saginaw is terrible. The customer service folks couldn't be less concerned about your service or even if you continue to be their customer.

Alltel likes to bill you for services never rendered then not tell you about it for years. Until you find out that it is on your credit report and then have no alternative but to pay it. Customer service is a complete joke, the local offices do not communicate with their cooperate offices. I would not advice this company for service. So far Verison has been everyone's favorite but I will continue research, good luck to you all.

Very pleased with Alltel. I've experienced much improved coverage throughout the city and surrounding areas with them, even good signal indoors. No problems to speak of.

T-Mobile and Cingular both use the same towers around here. I'm in a bad spot for both of them. Ballard Rd off Jolly. 1-2 bars outside my house on a good day. Inside my alumminum siding house maybe 1 bar..:(

I am happy with my service, I have been a T-Mobile customer for 4 years. My reception in my house is spotty to say the least. I usually have to go outside to use my phone for an extended period of time. It isnt my phone, this is the 4th phone during my T-Mobile stint. All have had the same reception issues. Other than the Nokia I owned as my first phone. It sucked. I barely EVER had reception with that thing!

No reception in the building; but perfect once I step outside. Never had any problems with my NEXTEL in the building though.
