It seems that no matter where I go I get 5 bars unless of course I'm at work upstairs at one of the concourses of the Airport. It seems to be this specific phone's doing though, not the provider since it doesn't have towers of its own so I can't give them credit. Instead I would reccomend anyone going with Cricket (if you really have to!) to purchase this phone since it seems like one of the few that manages to still transfer data, receive calls and send / receive texts even where my coworkers can't. It works fine in my apartment which is surrounded by tons of trees and other apartment buildings. I can't even get satellite here and this thing works. But again, it's the phone, not the provider.

Almost never any reception indoors. Sometimes I will get a few outside but most of the time my phone is a useless brick. Stay away from t-mobile.

5 bars all the time. inside or out.

Almost no connection inside of the house (which is also my home office), outside it goes from 1 to 2 bars. That means that my data plan on the blackberry is really under-utilized, since most of the time there's no way I can get the necessary level. The whole Damonte Ranch area is really not served enough. The right zip code is 89521, had to modify the form for this post because it didn't recognize it.

hardly any bars - could it be the nearby airport? have to drive about 2 miles away before having any bars

i sometimes dont get reception in my own house. forget getting it in walmart! the walkie talkie works when it wants, and it drops my calls all over the place. I have taken it to the shop off longley so many times. I get text messages, sometimes a DAY later! I am so over this phone, shopping for new company to go with.

My phone rarely rings up here - When I get down the hill to 395 the phone beeps to let me know how many calls I missed. Many call failures all along Arrowcreek Pkwy. - no connects, disconnects, calls failed - can you hear me now? Probably NOT

The only phone that seems to have consistent reception at the apartment here is Nokia. Most other brands' reception fluctuates from 3 bars to no bars.

Many dropped calls... poor reception

Lose calls on this stretch of roadway consistently.
