Data coverage across Joplin is terrible.

Constantly calling someone and I can hear them but they never hear me. Or they hear loud static. This is really getting old. Talked to AT&T and they went thru the motions but didnt fix the problem.

Trying to use internet card and get low to no reception. I've called customer service several times and they say that there is an issue with tower and there is no estimate in time that it will get fixed.

I've been a Verizon customer for about 7 years now and I love it. I've never had an issue with reception. I've lost a call only once, and that was a fluke thing. The only time I've ever not been able to place a call was in a small area in Wichita, KS, and there were multiple people around me with ATT, US Cellular, and Sprint... and nobody's phone would work. it was not just Verizon, something about the area was wrong. GO VERIZON

I have been with U.S. Cellular for quite a few years. THrough out this area I get pretty good coverage, unless I am in a deep valley out in the middle of nowhere. Some of my relatives have other carriers and when I am with them, they are always borrowing my phone because theirs is not picking up signal. Even as I travel all around the country, I have not had a problem using my phone. Compared to the other carriers, I am sticking to what works: U.S. Cellular.

I always get dropped calls when I go through this area. If I am on a call it drops and I totally lose all of the bars. It is horrible and I wish it could be fixed.

Reception in this area is very poor can't use cell phone in house. Others in this area have same problem

I have always received EXCELLENT coverage from US Cellular. I have been a customer for 10 + years. I have traveled across the US and have always had good coverage. My friiends have tried several companies... they don't compare to the coverage I get from US Cellular!

Sprint service is low. Well it is a low area but my Cingular comes in even in the basement where you get 0 basement signal from Sprint and only 1 bar upstairs from sprint.

Coverage is great throughout most of Joplin. The only week spots are on 171 highway between Airport Dr.and Carl Junction, and on west towards Pittsburg. Their network is only a few years old here and I would rate it right below US Cellular and above Cingular. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. As long as you dont live north of Oronogo and west of Carl Junction you should be fine.

US Cellular was the first cell carrier in the Joplin area and has built a significant reliable network covering most of the rural areas around Joplin. If you're looking for excellent rural coverage in extreme SE Kansas or SW Missouri, US Cellular is the way to go.

Excellent T-Mobile reception in Joplin / Webb City Industrial Park in north Joplin off Range Line Rd. Tower is located to the east of Eagle-Picher Industries on Industrial Ave. Same tower also supports numerous cell providers.

Excellent T-Mobile signal coverage across west Joplin. New T-Mobile tower built at 20th and Maiden Lane directly behind Smitty's Supermarket in railroad yard.

Excellent Cingular GSM signal coverage in west Joplin extending from west side of Joplin city limits to Main St. Cingular tower in west Joplin is located in back lot of Garry's Golf Center on west 13th street directly behind KSNF TV 16 studios.

Usually always good in Joplin. Only problems occur when in basements.
