love love love tmobile. Almost always great reception. I have had many different phones on the T-Mobile network (4 I think). 2 samsungs, a Nokia and now the iphone. They all have worked great. I get great reception in my house (north Mnpls) and all over downtown minneapolis and inside the buildings. I also have a Sprint phone and I HARDLY if even get reception in my house. I love the ease of swapping SIM cards into whatever phone I feel like with Tmobile. Tmobile forever baby!

I get dropped calls if I try to walk around inside my house and I don't get service in the basement. When I'm driving, I usually get four bars, but never more than two in the house.

Works as our primary phones (no land line) - good reception overall. Great reception downtown. Can't complain overall.

This is a major dead zone for Sprint right around where the Target store was. Actually reception sucks on the whole northside of Minneapolis.

Since the May 22nd Tornado, calls in progress are getting dropped all the time. Reception is good, but in the middle of a conversation, the calls drop. My friend was using his new LG phone, carrier Tracfone, but powered by At&T. Maybe this is the problem, the tower wasn't replaced or maybe the one that services the area needs to be stronger. My friend's main complaint is when he enters his home, his calls are lost. Perhaps this report / comment helps. Thank You. Sincerely, Cherie J.

very poor reception in house, 0 - 2 bars, ( 0 most often). dropped calls all the time, incoming calls go to voice mail to be picked up when I leave this area of NE Minneapolis. Spotty reception all around here.

It is ok. Get coverage everywhere, but when jumping from tower to tower when phone is not in use, it has many dead spots. Push to talk feature sucks. NE Mpls doesn't have the best coverage, but downtown is great. Don't expect to have service in any large building (Target, Cub, Walmart, Menards, etc.)

Drop calls anywhere in my house there isn't an obstructed window

I've been with Sprint for many years. I had very spotty service with other phones, so I really think people need to look at the phone if you are having troubles. My Sanyo SCP-4900 was flawless everywhere with Sprint. The problem is that Sprint Customer Service has been terrible for me. I needed more minutes as well. I now have switched to T-Mobile and I'm using the Nokia 6600 which I am finding to be fair to poor in many areas. I thought that Nokia phones were suppose to have excellent reception... but this one doesn't. Perhaps it's T-Mobile's fault.

All kinds of terrible. Calls dropped every few minutes. Sometimes I don't get text messages for hours. Switching to Sprint next week.
