Most apps report no internet connection when attempting to do anything data related. My Verizon iPhone, supplied by work, is 3G with 4 bars less than 6 inches away. T-Mobile seems to have a "reboot your phone" as the standard protocol for ALL issues regarding lack of signal. I would imagine it's to get you off the support call. This occurs in several locations along the I-24 corridor and several areas in Nashville such as Inglewood and Antioch.

HATE AT&T. I have been with them since I got my first cell phone 6 years ago, and when I moved to Nashville, I discovered my cellphone doesn't work in my apartment. I have to walk outside, and on cloudy days, it seems even worse. There is reception on Mufreesboro Rd., but once I turn in to my complex, I'll drop a call about 100 yards off the road. It's also pretty darn expensive to have a smartphone with text and data on this network.

Good reception, bad customer service, never paid a bill to a company who's customer service is so incapable of helping out customers. Rude people!

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.

Upstairs of my home the reception is fine. However, if I am down stairs, I will lose the call every time! I am extremely disappointed in the reception. My Sprint reception was excellent but my company changed carriers.

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

Works great by my apartment. The only problems I ever have is when I'm on Briley Pkwy. Cuts in and out sometimes there. Other than that, reception is great!

AT&T in this area is fantastic no dropped calls or data failures. Data speeds are always above 2Mbps of download on my iPhone 3G. Very reliable and always 5 bars of coverage inside and outdoors.
