In the downtown area, out into lower Richland County, and up into the Irmo area, coverage is generally very good. I've been with Virgin for 2 years, and the experience has been a good one.

In my house, no matter what room I'm in my reception is "iffy" very, and I do mean very, seldom do I get 3 to all five bars, but its all about where i'm standing. Outside the reception is better, but no matter where i'm going in Columbia, SC, my calls get dropped at least once a day. It could be the other person's phone, but majority of the time when I look at my phone after the call is dropped, the colors of my bars have gone grey and I have lost all service. Then it comes back in a matter of some seconds.

Yeah, T-Mobile is not available in our area. But with nationwide roaming free, I got the phone out of aiken, and use it in columbia with no problems except for if someone wants to call you from a landline, it's long distance.

I have a Nokia 3620 phones for Suncom. And I say the phone and service are great in my area. I rarely get dropped calls. My signal is alway at max. The reception is pretty ok on the nokia 3620. I had a Motorola C332t from SunCom and that was a good phone, good signal, good reception. CS for SunCom is pretty great. I prefer SunCom over any other phone carrier.

Actually have Suncom service and have no complaints expept cannot use cell phone at home. Get one to no bars even standing put in the street. Also does not work when I am in my office on Platt Springs Rd.in West Columbia. I am near a window but do not get but one bar and then it will drop the call. Drops all calls when only 1 bar is showing. Very aggravating that I see everyone els's phones working but not mine.

I have been a Sprint customer for 6 years, and loved every minute of it (I was even a sales rep for one summer). I bought a house recently and unfortunately receive NO service at all inside the home - and poor service in the street). After jumping through the many hoops with customer / techincal help, they have determined I am in a dead spot between two towers. My friends get perfect service with Verizon, Cingular and Alltel. I am switching to a new provider tomorrow; however, I am quite sad to be leaving Sprint.
