T-Mobile
Never had signal in house or extremely poor. Had to sit on certain couch and STAY or would lose calls. Master bedroom was okay sometimes too, but never had more than 2 bars in house. Wasn't till I got 2 blocks away or so that it improved, but I'm not going out there every time I need to make a call. Missed a lot of calls or had tons of dropped calls.

I drive the the city everyday and always have good reception. The only problem area is Gregory Blvd.and I-35 / I-29 hwy split in the northland. Now 4g sucks on the Missouri side of the line. I think Sprint thinks Missourian's are second class citizens. Sprint step up your 4g, especially in the northland before Missourian's turn on you.

T-Mobile's service in the area has been disintegrating since I first got my cell in 2004. 3G never engages, EDGE if I'm lucky. No reception half of the time. 3 bars is a miracle. I got the phone to tether to my PC, but I never break the 20kb / s mark. I have a better chance piggy-backing off of my neighbor two doors down's wifi than with this phone. I've spent countless hours on the phone with customer service, including 2 phone replacements. It clearly is not the individual phone.

Usually outside of buildings I get good reception, but inside most apartments, including my own, I have 1 bar and that gives me maybe 5 minutes before it drops my call.

I'm at 1-2 bars indoors about 363 days a year, the other two days, I hover between 2-3 bars. I sure wish AT&T would add a tower on the Plaza. Its ridiculous coverage in this area. I was considering T-Mobile (HTC-HD7 coming out), but none of the other carriers seem to be any better?

Cricket have cheap phones but cheap service no contract the only thing I would recommend is get a phone from Sprint or Verizon and flash it to cricket so you wouldnt have a cheap phone but cheap service plans starting $35 that is the only way to get good reception

The phone doesn't work at all in the house and it's very spotty when standing in the yard. It drops on the Lexington bridge and at Brooklyn and Indep. Avenue. T-Mobile gave me a new sim card and said that would fix it... it did not.

I have to go outside my home to use this cellular phone. T-Mobile has told me that I'm in a bad location. I'm considering getting another carrier.

Where do I start? Constant dropped calls and Sprint's response is that it's my phone. Took the phone to their service center and they tell me it's the service. Doesn't really matter where I am in the city, calls dropped all over. Isn't it ironic that their headquartered here and the service is so horrible? Calls constantly don't come in until I hit a "good" area and suddenly I'll have multiple voicemails show up. Customer service is nonexistent since they just give you the runaround. LAME!
