sprint service / reception is so bad here the repeater they sent us to help does not even pick up a signal

I just bought the Nexus S 4G yesterday and I've tested reception from the Fenton Best Buy where I bought the phone all the way to Jefferson Barracks. 4G reception is almost non-existent everywhere, and I've already started dropping calls. I came from straighttalk which is a tracphone and I have never lost a single signal. My download speeds range from 0(75% of the time) to 0.70mb on average and have never been over 0.90mb, which is unacceptable for 4G service. If it doesn't improve after a few service calls or trips to best buy I'll return the device and go back to my straight talk phone..ole' reliable.

My phone works till I reach my house. Once inside it's gone. Even If I go to the second floor it is in and out. My wife has Cingular and it works very well, no problems at all.

Reception has gotten better but it still is not great. Customer service is a joke. I am so glad my contract is almost over.

Perhaps the worst cell phone provider. People can never hear me and dropped calls constantly all over STL.

Horrible service downtown St. Louis I get aproximately 2-5 dropped calls a day downtown, especially at my exact location.

One to zero bars at work. Even outside in the parkinglot I'm often without a signal. This is in a major metorpolitan area near an airport where everyone but Sprint and Nextel users get plenty of signal. Traveling on vacation along major highways where there should be good coverage, had poor reception and many dropped calls. My contract can't end soon enough.

Outdoors you're lucky to get 1 or 2 bars, with numerous dropped calls. Indoors it fluctuates between 0 and 1 bar, and calls are almost impossible. Sprint is not the only "culprit"... most cell carriers are very weak in this area, no doubt due to the area municipalities (Crystal Lake Park, Des Peres, Frontenac, and Town and Country) refusing to allow any cell towers.

Barely any reception in my house, drops calls often. 1-2 bars outside.

Warson and Somerset Downs is in a valley. No cell phone reception by any carrier in this area.

Sprint / Samsung combo works great everywhere in Clayton and 40 / 64 corridor except in "dead spot" at I-70 and 40 / 64. Calls always drop there.

I live in Oakville, a close in suburb of St. Louis and Sprint sucks! Actually, my girlfriend has ATT and for every time she's without a signal, I'd conservatively say that I'm without a signal 3 times. The worst pisser is that I lose a signal at my home which is only about 14 miles from the Arch. I've called and complained and nothing is ever done.

I RARELY cut out. Only a few times when I try to hold the phone on my shoulder...

Reception at my home is spotty, but I rarely have had dropeed calls. Reception on Kingshighway North just off Hwy. 40 untill the hospital zone is passed is notorious for dropped calls almost every single pass.

I hardly ever have problems anywhere in Saint Louis (or any other city I visit regularly like Detroit, Chicago, Las Cruces). I have only EVER dropped calls in Ladue where all carriers have fewer towers, and in the Lindbergh tunnell under the airport. My business partner is on Cingular and is constantly dropping calls. I think service must have everything to do with the competence of the phone!

I roam in my house, which is at the end of Mildred by Fairview.

Poor reception outside, especially around South Grand. Just 1 bar inside most brick buildings in South City and calls usually don't ring (but I will get the "voicemail ring").

Only 1 bar of digital roaming indoors in my first floor apartment of a two floor unit. 1 bar of normal service outside, but you can't talk for more than 5 minutes or so without having your call dropped. Even digital roaming only gets 1 to 2 bars outside and frequently drops. This makes me think other carriers will not improve the situation. A service ticket has been submitted, but based on the experience of other posts, I'm not expecting a happy resolution of the problem. Sprint gets an F.

Sprint not only has poor reception, but poor customer service!

Am unable to even move around my home and retain a signal with Sprint PCS Service. Other than that occassional dropped calls outside my house.

From what I understand in Europe cell phone networks are standardized. This results in few dropped calls in just about any location. If I move my head in my house; i'll lose my call half the time. We need to put pressure on the industry to standardize and quit robbing Ppl.

I roam in my house and within a 2 block radius. No or poor reception on Sprint network near the house. I have to drive to the south side of the park to get a signal. Numerous complaints and a repair ticket have led to nothing other than complete frustration. I echo all other complaints to the effect of "worst customer service ever".

Reception horrible in 21st floor apartment. Constantly missing and losing calls. Reception fluctuates rapidly between 0-4 bars and going out of service.

very poor signal in my neighborhood from all carriers.i live on waldorf drive

I work at Wash. U. Medical School and I get no reception inside of the entire medical complex. I used to have Verizon and I would get 2 bars in most locations in the complex. I have complained to Sprint, but they have done nothing.

in a forth floor apartmet I do not have to sit by the window to talk. I can't talk in the elevator, but thats fine. I get great reception anywhere around where I live (dogtown / high-pointe area). never have had a problem. even driving down to the lake its great.

that the best reception that I have had since I got a sprint

Reception terrible in 11th floor condo. Consistently lose service. Service falls of when walking from one part of room to another.

Inside my house, I get reception, but it drops calls all the time. Outside my house, it tends not to drop calls so much. I never had major reception problems with Sprint until I moved to this house (unless you count no service below ground).

Usally at home (in door or out door) I get about 1-2 bars. At work (Brentwood) I get 4-5 bars.

Outside buildings, reception varies from 1-2 bars; inside buildings it varies from 0-1 and occassionally reaches 2. Calls drop frequently, cell goes into roam unless you disable it, drops in and out of the network, and misses incoming calls yet miraculously receives voice mail. Sometimes fails to place a call and provides no reason other than error, try again. I have to stay within a 5 foot area of my apartment near the patio door to effectively use the phone and even that isn't always reliable.

I get 4 bars and the phone still goes to voice mail and then beeps me. I have updated the software but Sprint just says "too bad".

Constant droped calls when on line for more than three mins. Sometimes get 4 bars, but then goes down to 2 and below. Sprint service says im being droped by high usage problems in area. Seems like other callers are taking over mine, because of my weaker reception.

I realize the area won't let towers be built, but since I am out here most of the time, I am unable to have reliable phone calls without experiencing dropped signals. Have upgraded software, but may have to try new phone as well. Elevation is good and no buildings in line of sight, but can't tell where closes tower is located to verify no obstructions.
