Just switched from Nextel to Sprint, figured I would go from poor to great reception... WRONG! This is HORRIBLE, and it's not just here. It has been spotty all over southeast Columbus and virtually NO signal on the other side of Lancaster. In just FIVE days, I have probably missed 50 phone calls (my business relies on my cell phone) and have had a ton of people say "I've been trying to call you, is there something wrong with your phone?" Heck, my phone never even rings half the time! This is absurd, I am switching to Verizon! If you live on the southeast side of Columbus, don't even THINK about Sprint, they suck!

Absolutely perfect phone reception and I love using my broadband speed aircard for the laptop. I will never leave Verizon Wireless... because my company, my family, and my friends all have VZW. However, the wireless industry is so competitive, all the little things are even across the board. The bottom line is who you call and where you live. Period. Some places will have no VZW, and great Cingular... or no Cingular and great VZW. It's not a perfect market... so stop being fickle if you bill was a little weird, and jump from carrier to carrier. You will have pros and cons no matter whwere you go!

I get good reception around Canal and most of the Eastside of Columbus however the coverage on the Southside is very poor.
