Rarely drop below to bars anywhere in town. I never hardly get full but mostly 3 to 4 bars. always have 3g service with no problems. never had any calls dropped. but very upset there's no 4 g service in our area yet. therefore having a 4 g phone is useless.

I have had Sprint for several years and have been happy. Lately there is a problem in this Area. dropping calls like crazy. Sprint can't tell when its gonna be fixed. I'm not too happy about that. tower issues.

Frequent dropped calls or no service indoors at home. I have to stand on the porch or by a window. My job requires Nextel, or else I would have US Cellular and enjoy seamles coverage in this area

I get amazing service everywhere in Wilmington. The only spotty area outside of Wilmington is on the south end of Carolina Beach, but since I can roam for free I just pick up on one of the analog signals. This works great, the only thing that suffers are my data speeds as I am roaming and not on the Sprint Nextel network. Whether I am in Wilmington, Jacksonville, Greenville, or surrounding areas I have zero complaints. The only place I have been with VERY little coverage is in Duplin County. Obviously there are dead spots on all carriers, but since Sprints foots the bill for me to roam in those few instances, I am a lifer with this company. I have weathered the storm through the merger, and still prefer Sprint over the other pricy and less dependable carriers. I hope all the Alltel customers are prepared for the big VERIZON take over... watch you monthly bills start climbing, and just wait till you need a new phone!

I get no reception at home and the most I get anywhere is 2 bars. Tons of dropped calls. I'm switching ASAP!

Sprint works fine all over town, even on long trips. It just sucks in my house. I have to walk outside most of the time and I get random voicemail when it feels like it.

I have had Sprint ALMOST two years. This past December the service went way south! I walk across my bedroom and the call drops (not in service area). I cannot wait to end this relationship! As far as traveling it was great, but I need it locally more than away.

Get 1 to 2 bars average. Must walk to certain hotspots in house to maintain acceptable service level during calls. Off hobart drive in Northchase.

I switched from Alltel to Sprint because they had better phones and better wireless web services. Alltel had better reception by far. Service is poor for spring on River Rd. and on 421 North just out of town. Sprint seems best when on major highways and in the city. Alltel seemed to pick up signals everywhere almost. I plan to switch back to Alltel when my contract is up.

I cannot get Sprint reception at my home and it is spotty on River Road. I have been a very happy Sprint customer for 6 years and I really like the service when I am in good reception areas. If you live and work in Sprint Service areas then I recomment it. Unfortunately I am going to switch to another carrier this month because Sprint coverage is not good enough in the greater Wilmington area.

Never had a problem with my Sprint phone. Works all over SE North Carolina except in Clinton.

There is a tower within a stone's throw of this location. I constantly get 4 bars (full reception) from my apartment. Great location for Sprint although reception inside Independance Mall somewhat nearby isn't the best. But that's to be expected in that type of situation. You should get great Sprint service throughout Wilmington. The only small hole might be at the intersection of 74 / 76 and 421 right when you come over the bridge into town. For some reason you hit a dead spot for about a block or two.
