I have been with Sprint for 10 years now and I have never had any problems with reception anywhere. No dropped calls (I don't even know what it is), always full signal and I do move around in and out of different buildings in Manhattan when I go to see my clients. I definitely recommend Sprint fo everyone. Their customer service is wonderful, very kind and patient people... It's a pity though, that they do not have lower radiation phones - but then- who does?? I hope this problem will be solved in the future - nowadays Sprint has such great cell towers coverage that they can easity launch some new phones with lower SAR.

Near spotless coverage in my apartment building on the T-Mobile network, even on the lower floors, even in the elevators. Alternately, the lower floors (and my apartment, for sure) are known to be dead zones for phones running on the AT&T network. T-Mobile wins, in this case.

Ever since I switch from T-Mobile which was horrible to say the least. I haven't had anything but stellar service with At&t. My gf had Verizon and there wasn't one place in the city / long island or upstate that she got service and I didn't, love AT&T I do get dropped calls sometimes but 3G works great for me 90% of the time. Most people that have bad reception with AT&T and iphone are the same ones that refuse to update their phones or are just exaggerating about how they lose service. because I have been in many places with people with sprint / verizon / T-Mobile and with AT&T I always have service longer than any other carrier.

I cant not tell how HORRIBLE AT&T is here! My calls are ALWAYS dropped! The sound is UNREAL and the call quality is the worse! I switched my business of 185 to Verizon Wierless yesterday. We all have BlackBerry Tours, and Verizon has a wonderful network! The sounds are clear and data is fast! VERY happy I made the switch!

I have the first edition iPhone and have had virtually no problems with my phone wherever I may have gone. I've even gotten random pings of reception in the subway! Very strong signal and data transfers, even though the unit was purchased over a year and a half ago (and subsequently dropped many, many times). I've had typical call drops in elevators, but that's pretty much it.

Had Verizon for nearly 15 years and NEVER had a dropped call. Recently I switched to AT&T for the iPhone and had almost 25 dropped calls per day. Switched back to Verizon and LOVE my service. Great, crisp sound quality!

It may not be the fanciest handset anymore but not a single dropped call on my Verizon Razr in about 2 years at this location!

Exceptional service and reception. Occasionally even holds onto service in the elevator going down 14 floors. Absolutely amazing. I have friends with T-Mobile and AT&T service that frequently complain about reception issues or dropped calls. Thankfully, I can't relate. Unfortunately Verizon service isn't cheap, and the phones are generally considered pathetic. I'd gladly drop Verizon if a competitor offered lower rates with similar service, but that hasn't happened yet.
