I get very poor reception on my Virgin-Mobile v7 "Flasher" phone. I don't know if I'm in a dead zone or what for Sprint. I would not recommend using a Sprint phone in this area.

I get good reception on my T-Mobile Sidekick II. I sometimes lose reception while at the Wal-Mart store, but I get reception back in parts of the store.

I used to have an LG 1600, the reception was non-existent. I have switched back to Nokia, and the reception is much better. I can make calls, but a lot of times I don't receive calls. I find out much later that someone has called and left a voicemail. With the LG I couldn't make calls either and the reception was absolutely pitiful.

I have 3 bars now, but wait five minutes. sitting in the same spot, I won't have any signal. WooHoo--Go Nextel.

I never have any tower in this area. Inside or outside.

On rt. 4 between 235 and the Harshman rd. exit the reception is poor to none and the call usually drops.

This problem began recently. I cannot use my Verizon phone from inside my office. I called Verizon and they said it was because I was near a military base. However the base they indicated has been defunct for several years... .. Other people in the area that use Verizon have also lost signal strength.

Poor reception in neighborhood off of N. Fairfield and Claydor (off Edith Marie). Live 5 minutes from mall and Verizon store and coverage and / or phone is horrible. Called Verizon several times and told nothing they can do. I'm counting down the days to the end of my 2 year contract to switch carriers.

I haven't dropped a call, but sometimes I lose some words in the conversation. My Samsung seems to do better than my wife's Kyocera.

I have bad reception in buildings by Kettering Hospital. Outside can get some service. This is the place in Dayton Area that I have noticed poorest reception.

Good just about everywhere I go.

We get zero reception in the Apt. Maybe two bars in the parking lot. West on Alex Bell Rd through Mad River Canyon: REALLY no coverage IN the canyon. Also no reception in the buildings at Walnut Creek on Lamme Rd. Verizon said, "Yep, those are dead spots. No, you can't cancel your contract." Sooo: No coverage at home. No coverage during most of commute. No coverage at work. Guess this is a weekend-only phone.

Much of the area around Whipp and Bigger has absolutely zero reception for Sprint. Called Sprint to complain, and they said, "Yeah, it's a dead spot. No, you can't cancel your contract."

i live right near a tower so it works great

Terrible reception, if any. If I move the phone from one ear to the other while I'm talking, the call will drop. I used to have AT&T (GSM) and had no problems at all in this area. I'm not sure if it's the phone model or not (my gf has the same phone with the same problems) but I usually only get 1 bar of service at most.

AT&T is much better than Sprint in this area (I used to use Sprint), but is still lacking. I normally get about 2 bars--3 on good days. (These are out of a max of 4 bars.) Calls are dropped on occasion, but the most frustrating part is that probably about 30% of the time, my calls cut in and out, even outside.

I don't know what it is. Out near Central State and Wilberforce in Xenia, T-Mobile gets "No Service." I'm guessing there are no T-Mobile towers near the vacinity.

Terrible reception in Oakwood! Countless dropped calls... usually only 1 bar of service, especially in Oakwood neighborhood west of Far Hills.

Really good coverage anywhere in the Dayton area (except in the basement of my office building). This phone and service hits towers when others can't, in really out-of-the-way places all over the country.

T-Mobile reception is really decent. I've used my phone on the bus, downtown, during storms and outages, and I've only had like one dropped call. Voice clarity is excellent as well but I think that may be the phone more than the network. T-Mobile is definitly a great option for Dayton, OH.
