Id give Sprint a 4. Its not perfect just because I cannot get 4g yet even though I have a 4g phone. Maybe the people that work at Sprint and best buy should stop lieing that 4g is right around the corner when its not. Grow up people be honest. How hard is that?

I live in Austin, TX but travel to Lincoln occasionally. Normally I can get 2G around town, indoors sometimes, but usually G. I can live with that. This time I'm getting no signal or very low G in places that I have received a signal in the past. What the heck is going on? Has T-Mobile pulled out of Lincoln, NE completely? Or has AT&T already gobbled them up? I didn't mind the 2G, or the G, since I still was able to make calls. I'm highly upset by this turn of events.

I have had T-Mobile for several years. This is the first time that I have had serious problems. I can sometimes receive pic messages, but never send them. Texting is mild and phone calls are often dropped or missed due to no signal in my home. During the winter I had to stand on the sidewalk in several feet of snow to take care of business calls. I have lost jobs and unemployment pay due to never getting phone calls. I am currently playing the Who's your daddy?" game with the 'searching... ' on my phone.

Visiting family in Lincoln Nebraska. I travel around the country and have had ok service except here in Lincoln. I have no service with phone calls but do have delayed service with text messages. No applications that require a connection work either. Even wifi through home router doesn't work either even though it shows 3-4 bars. Without wifi I still show 1-3 bars and no phone calls can be made. Time for trac phone.

Two years of very specific service areas. I can sit on one end of my couch and get decent service, but when I get up of sit on a different spot, I lose service. On campus I could get perfect reception in certain areas of certain classrooms, but not outside. I would often run around until I get service from anywhere because I would sometimes carpool with my roommate and need to find out where he is or if he's even still on campus

I've tried both Sprint and Verizon (post Alltel merger), and Sprint is hands down better coverage. I had personally never dropped a call until I tried Verizon, but there's a first time for everything I guess...

Just ported out my Sprint number to Consumer Cellular (no contract) which uses AT and T towers- can't make a call in my home, and barely get one to two bars reception in my drive way. When I called Consumer Cellular, they said their info shows that I am in the "best area" for reception- ha! Obviously, I'll be cancelling the plan and sending the phone back. Sprint says that I'll have to sign up for a new contract now that I ported the number out- even though I have an old phone that was no longer on a contract. I disliked the contract and billing problems with Sprint, but coverage was never an issue.

I commute between Lincoln and Crete every day, and there seems to be a dead spot near the Hwy. 33 and Hwy. 77 exit. If I don't drop a call on 33 before I get to 77, it disappears on me soon after I merge onto 77.

This, in my opinion, is the worst hole in Lincoln for all cell carriers. Most CDMA networks like Alltel, Verizon, and Sprint can make and take calls fine... but anything GSM, like me on Cingular is completely screwed. I live right on this intersection and I can't get signal in my house, BARELY in my driveway. Infuriating. Also, about a half mile in any direction is terrible with one or no bars until about A St.going north, or Hwy. 2 going south.

Many areas have 4-5 bars (out of 5) in downtown, then gets spotty in north. In south area and many residential areas between streets listed, reception is spotty with numerous dead zones. Around hospital between 10th and 19th South St. are major dead spots, including my entire house.
