Service is excellent here in Springfield. I have never experienced a drop call and the voice quality is good to excellent. Data service on 3G is the best in the area, as of now writing this no 4G networks here yet. I push 3-5 mbits, and have topped out at 6 mbits. 3 is the limit on Verizon.

I just got my LG phone on the Virgin Mobile network. I was worried after looking at the coverage map about what my reception would be like - but it has been great! I drove down to Branson yesterday, and went out on a boat on Table Rock Lake and never lost reception. I was even able to post to Facebook while on the lake. I live in North Springfield, and am very happy with the reception I am getting.

My service with T-Mobile works great if you're in the city or on the interstate and some highways. The farther away from civilization you get the worse the reception gets. My wife had Cingular and now she has Sprint. Both of her phones get pretty good reception in rural areas when I will have none. Other than that, T-Mobile has been excellent. Their customer service is the best in the industry and I haven't found a deal comparable to what I'm paying right now. My contract is up too and I'm hesitant to switch carriers because of both of these reasons.

Always good connection all over town, even in the elevator, which was not possible with same carrier and an older Motorola phone before (So at least some of the reception is the phone). I changed over from Sprint when I moved to Springfield about 4 years ago. Sprint had terrible coverage. I got a $500 phone bill from Sprint when I first moved here from all the roaming charges and I never left town. I will never use Sprint again. I am really happy with Cingular / AT&T.

New site at this intersection raises my signal from 2 bars to full service. Extremely impressed with T-Mobile overall, great service / signal.

Consistently good reception around Springfield with excellent call quality. When leaving town phone will seamlessly handoff call to Cingular network if T-Mobile towers are not present. Overall I'm very impressed with T-Mobile.

tmobile has the absolute best sound quality and reception

Never a dropped conneciton

Sprint is great, never a problem even in basements of underground building!

Excellent reception with phone never any problems!

AT&T offers few problems with their service. Their customer service however is horrible. I have a problem with my Razor. I visited both AT&T stores on Kansas Expressway. I was given the number to file an insurance claim and shuffled out the door. No offer of upgrade or apology. The first guy gave me the number, turned around and walked away. I'm now looking into switching providers.

Excellent reception all over Springfield. Very rarely will I drop a call and signal stays strong inside buildings (exception: Battlefield Mall). Outside of metro area service decreases dramatically, no rural coverage. However, roaming agreements are in place with Cingular.

Very poor customer service experience at the ATT Battlefield and Lone Pine store. Clerks act with indifference.

i830 sucks compared to my old i95. Nextel works well inside my house including basement and good coverage within Springfield city limits but very bad or no reception in rural areas.

Text Message come delayed up to 20 min. often out of order. Which has caused many miscommunication issues. 3g internet is VERY slow! Even tried changing browser (opera, firefox, dolphin) I can't wait till my contract is up to get away from this service. My Best friend has a walmart straight talk for $50 cheaper and has better service than me. Now that's just wrong! I was with Alltel for 11 years, switched cause Verizon wanted to raise my bil $40. I should have paid it! Only reason I give 2 stars, is because the phone is pretty awesome. But hey, all the carriers carry Android...

New to the area,yes, another family migrating from Cal to Nixa. I go from full bars to zero bars block to block within Nixa. Spotty coverage at best and looking for a new provider... .

Bad reception during calls, often lose calls throughout Springfield. Ring delay is annoying.

Constantly deal with dropped calls... everyday.

Sprint claims to have amazing coverage here, but it is simply not true. I have three Sprint Phones and none of them receive coverage here. This is true for the surrounding blocks as well. Interior vs. exterior does not make a difference.
