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.
I live in Oakville on Flameglow near Milburn and reception is terrible in parts of my home... often only 1 bar and dropped calls are not uncommon. I always hit a complete dead zone at I-270 and Gravois as well as other parts of Oakville and a stretch of I-55 heading South towards Cape Girardeau. A few years ago my plan was with T-Mobile and my reception was great... I changed because the person I talked to the most had Verizon and had just entered into a new contract.
I have NO connectivity issues even in the basement of the buildings. I frequent the bottom floor of the Student Center which is a brick and concrete building, and I have never had a connection issue.
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.
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.
Great reception for a new company in the area have had every wireless provider except Cingular and none gave me the reception I get from U. S. Cellular. Although I have family who stays 6 doors away who has Cingular and never has a signal.
