Near West End and 31st, corner of Vanderbilt Univ. Our house is in a Cricket dead zone caused by multipath interference (American towers, new condos). Complaint to Cricket was ignored by Cricket.

Calls are dropped everytime I approach this intersection. I do not receive calls in the house, but once I step outside, I can recieve and make calls. Its too cold to be outside on a phone. Please fix the problem.

Nothing in any of the medical center buildings. Very weak signal along 22nd south at the medical center. Signal also week along 21st south (hillsboro village area)

Reception on direct connect goes in and out on 22nd ave near the vanderbilt hospital. Absolutely no service in any of the medical center. Service is very spotty in other building on campus.

Towers VS Antenna: WOW, fact is simple, Verizon and Sprint use the same cell towers, while ATT and T-Mobile use the same towers. That's because of the type of signal they use GSM or CMDA. When you call from a Sprint phone, but are closer to a Verizon tower, your call goes through the Verizon tower, and vice versa. As you travel away from one tower toward another, the phone call gets transferred to the next tower that uses your signal type be it your company, or it's equivalent. Same with AT&T and T-Mobile. That's what is called Roaming. So the true question is how good is YOUR phone's antenna. This is why the debate seems to be never ending. One friend says his Sprint phone gets great reception, while another friend says he had Sprint and dropped them due to poor coverage. The likely case is the latter had a cheaper phone. So do your research first on which companies plan best suits you, then research the best phone that handles that companies signals. I chose Sprint due to their truly unlimited plans, that save me over the old ATT account we had. No surprise charges, and no data slow downs like ATT had. I then chose the EVO which had some good reviews for it's antenna, and voila, I have a great plan, and great coverage due to the type of antenna. Hope this helps you guys out.

We decided to get rid of our land line about a year ago, but we can't get reception in the house worth a d**n. I can see that there are at least 3 Sprint towers within 3 miles of our house to the N, SE and directly W. You would think we would be able to get coverage. Anyone know if it could be the Airport that's interferring... it's only about 2 miles as the crow flies.

Very poor reception of Sprint and AT&T in Crieve Hall We need another tower. Verizon has great coverage.

I can't get a signal well enough to sustain a call. Almost every call is dropped. I have to put my phone on roaming and then I can get a signal. On roaming I get 1 or 2 bars out of 4. This area is in a valley, but is near I-24.

After 10 months with great reception at my house, suddenly I'm dropping nearly every call. Anybody know why this would be?
