While this is a Sprint data laptop card, it is using alltel's 3g evdo here in tarboro. With a Sprint phone, when you open up the internet browser, and it connects to the 3g, signal goes to full bars. Once you try and call out, it uses sprint's voice network and only has about 1 or 2 bars. The further I go in my house the worse it gets. The ride on 64 to Raleigh is terrible, you have reception for like 10 minutes and then once you are outside of the town around the interstate, coverage drops off. With Sprint in NC and most of VA, roaming coverage is more prominent. If you buy a Sprint phone in the central NC and southeastern VA (norfolk, va beach and somewhat currituck and all the way down the obx) make sure you put the phone on "automatic" and not "sprint only" because Sprint roams a bunch around here. Once in raleigh, signal is great, however around the blueridge rd area, signal fades.

Sprint out here on ocracoke is a sketchy thing! yesterday I had evdo and today I don't! its always roaming on Alltel or us cellular. I have traveled all over with Sprint and as long as your on a major road or in a semi big town, you are ok. I travel from Ocracoke to norfolk and fredricksberg alot and Sprint always works fine in those two areas. Once you are off the oregon inlet bridge, Sprint has native signal. There's one place through currituck that signal is minimal for like 20 minutes but then it comes right back. It even works in the tunnel that takes you over to hampton and richmond va!

i love my Sprint service down here on ocracoke... it never worked before but I don't know what they did because now I have 3 to 4 bars all the time and I have had only one dropped call... so I recomend Sprint to all people in the Nc area i have had no troubles what so ever
