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

Horrible reception. It often doesn't connect.

Reception drops often - almost no reception indoors

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.

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 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.
