Sprint is the best in the Omaha area. Have never dropped a call in over 5 years. I live in Bellevue, work in Council Bluffs. My wife works downtown and we get great service in buildings all the time.

I have had Sprint for 14 years and there coverage area contiunes to improve, I can go most places in the state and not worry about no coverage, I do have unlimited roaming which has allot to do with it, but on there network in town very few problems.

Just switched to Sprint from Verizon due to Verizon wanting my first born in order to carry one of their Droid phones. Have had no issues with reception on calls or the data plan so far any where in the metro. Hoping it stays that way.

Got great 3G reception at home, but calls dropped all the time. Took the phone back after 2 days and went back to Sprint. ATT customer service needs some work also.

Switched from Verizon, before I had 1-2 bars and the calls dropped all the time, now I usually get 4-5, needless to say much better connection. I thought thought any cdma carrier Verizon, Alltel, US Cell, Sprint, etc should be using the same towers but I guess Alltel has a contract with the tower on the hill where as Verizon couldn't / wouldn't.

I have no problem getting calls with T637 in the area. I used to have T68i, and around my house, I would get very bad reception (so bad that I couldn't use inside of my house), but with T637, the problem appears to be fixed.

Reception is hit-and-miss in most buildings... unless I'm right by a large window. Reception is good around Bellevue / Omha area. Once you get out of city limits the number of bars drops fairly quickly. But for the price I can't complain.

Switched from Sprint. Had dead areas in our house. Since we've switched we haven't experienced any dead zones around the house or in Bellevue at all. We even get coverage east of Moravia, Ia where we spend weekends (we're on a national plan). So far I have been extremely pleased with US Cellulars performance. Highly recommend at this point.

I don't get too many dropped calls. When you call and complain there excuse everytime is that they have towers down. Overall they usually have pretty good service.

Almost no coverage in my basement. Upstairs maybe 2 bars max. And out in town maybe 2-3 bars in the Bellevue / Offutt area. At work on base in the buildings, ZERO service. I just moved back here from TX where I had no issues at all. This is ridiculous because my friends with other carriers have no problems in any of these areas. I sit next to people at work who have full signal strength, and my stupid $500 iphone 4 says "NO SERVICE"... ... . AT&T, I promise you if this continues I will switch. A fancy phone is useless with no signal.

Had the new iPhoine 3Gs for 2 days this summer. First the device is nice enough, it does everything well except be a phone. It sucks, dropped calls even when it has full bars. ATT signal is still lacking in the Omaha area. At home in Bellevue the iPhone had full bars and the internet worked great, but way too many missed and dropped calls. In the 2 days must have had over a dozen. Absolutely zero, nada, nothing signal in Council Bluffs by the mall ot Iowa Western. Will try the iPhone 4GS on Verizon or the Nexus One on Verizon gthis summer.

I've had AT&T now for over 2 years and the reception has been horrible the entire time. I had used the company before and really liked them, but for some reason, this area of town (Olde Towne Bellevue by the air force base) is just awful when trying to get any service. I literally had to lay on my couch any time I wanted to talk to someone and for random reasons without me moving, my friends would say I was breaking up so I'd move my head a little to the left or right and then they could hear me again. I went and cancelled my service yesterday and plan on trying someone else. I just can't take the horrible reception anymore and frankly, I don't care what their reason! It's a pain trying to keep in touch with friends when the phone is so dang picky. When I cancelled the service, I asked the girl at the store if there were a lot of people that complained about bad reception and she said yes. That should tell you something.

Little or no reception. Constant dropped calls. I laugh everytime I see an AT&T commercial come on "The All Over Network With The Least Dropped Calls" YEAH RIGHT! I used to call and complain but they do nothing about it, so I just gave up. They are the absolute worst. When I'm on the phone I can only understand every other word someone is saying. Thank God my contract ends next week. It has been a long and frustrating 2 years with AT&T. I'm switching to Verizon.

There's a reason why the TV commercials for Verizon, show everybody standing outside, using their cell phone. They don't guarantee servise inside of buildings. Including, my wood frame house. Which, is in a different location, but I still lose the signal if I walk to the wrong part of the house.

Above ground power lines interfere from Platteview Rd north to H. 370. Two new towers going up in area, so hopefully this will change.
