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.

Almost never get reception at rattlesnake mountain area. In most of Reno I get spotty coverage, but rarely receive calls when at home.

No service inside even when phone shows full bars. When texting all of a sudden message says "service unavailable"..deletes my text and returns to main screen... paying 70$ per phone for what u say... probably going to change service... also can not open photo messages at all...

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

Horrible reception. It often doesn't connect.

Reception drops often - almost no reception indoors

have had no problems in, and around reno in 15 years with att. daughter had t-mobile, and wife had verizion.both had problems.both had limited coverage areas on outskirts of reno and no service beyond.I can talk anywhere on road to quincy ca. T-Mobile had many dropped calls. I have had friends tell me that they have difficulty with AT&T reception in wingfield springs area.

There is no reception inside any buildings in the UNR area. There is poor reception with many dropped calls outside on the UNR campus. Do NOT get Alltel as your carrier if you are going to UNR!

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.

I have never had trouble with my Sprint Phone. It works all over McCarren and the Northwest. I even get reception in all the casinos.

I had a Verizon last summer during a 2 month stay in Wausau. I wound up with NO access to voice mail, I couldn't leave or receive text messages. All it was good for is to place or get a call.

Generally I get full reception here, but twice since I moved here a month ago I have lost ALL reception for the entire day, no matter where I go. I don't know why this happened but it is extremely irritating.

Excellent Reception with very few dropped calls (less than 1 out of 100).

5 bars all the time. inside or out.

Lose calls on this stretch of roadway consistently.

Calls are dropped frequently. Many "No Service" areas. Customer care is very poor to non-existant. Customer support as far as technical issues and fixes is even worse. A lot of contractors use this "service" here. If it wasn't for that fact, I'd change companies... in a heartbeat! There's got to be a better way!

I recently switched from ATT to Sprint. While Sprint's service is better than ATT, it's far from perfect. There are many dead zones in town... if I am driving I cannot complete a call without it being dropped at some point within 5 minutes of the start of the call. I have reception at my house but sometimes need to go outside. UNR area is OK but calls are dropped on McCarran and always dropped on Plumb between Arlington and Hunter Lake.

Many dropped calls in this areas... my phone will ring then drop the call after a few seconds. I also miss calls completely and don't realize that I have received calls until I leave my house (and enter into a part of town that has better reception).

I recently moved here from Michigan - I had FANTASTIC reception there. Now, if I'm on the UNR campus, I have to be on the western edge of campus, facing west, standing outside - and even then I'll only have 2 bars... MAYBE.

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.
