After over a decade of getting jacked by Sprint I switched to Virgin Mobile's Pay-as-you-go service last December, and I couldn't be more pleased. The phone works well, has decent reception wherever I use it, and gets signal in places a lot of my friend's phones don't, like the middle of a farm field in Cameron, MO. Furthermore, their customer service people understand what "customer service"means, and are always helpful and pleasant. (Plus which, they all speak and understand English). I would strongly recommend to anyone who is sick to death of bad service and surprise fees from Sprint, AT&T, MCI, or anyone else switch to Virgin Mobile!

Great reception. Four bars around Longview Lake.

Majority of times the calls will either drop or going directly into VM. Sometimes I don't get VM notification until a day later. Have VZW service with another phone without problem.

Over the last few months reception in River Market has improved dramatically. Can go all over and never drop a call. Still drop calls at intersection of 635 and I-29 as well as the intersection of Overland Parkway and I35. No reception at a couple of lakes up North. Great reception and internet connection in the rest of the area.

I recently switched from Sprint because of bad reception in this area. I reported this to Sprint 5 different times over the last 2 years with no action taken. I've switched to T-Mobile and am very happy.

Consistently drops calls, poor reception.

The area from Wornall to Troost, 85th to 95th is horrible. Friends who have T-Mobile don't have trouble with their service. I'll be switching soon.

Outside, you'd be lucky to get 3 bars, inside, little to none.

Reception is very spotty in this area. 50% of all the calls I receive or make are dropped.

Spotty coverage around the River Market neighborhood in Downtown KCMO.
