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?

i have been using Sprint PCS for years now. but here and there I have tried using other carriers during their 15 day trial, but always end up back with Sprint. their service is the best I have used. at my job in the warehouse my service is strong. even Verizon fails there but not sprint! with wireless you have to find what works best for you, but if you use Sprint in the nashville area you should be happy!

1 Bar outside, 0 bars inside. Definite inability to hold a call. Sprint has checked and agreed there is no signal there, even though I am only a mile from downtown.

I am always dropped driving I-440 between Sidco Dr.and I-440 at Hillsboro Rd. It says No Digital Service if you try to redial. Then, it just pops back after you leave that area. It also drops many times when you drive Old Hickory Blvd.between Brentwood and Hwy. 100. I am ready to dump Sprint. I contacted them and they had a "service representative" try to call me... ..but I never called them back. I give them until the end of the month. If it isn't any better, I go to Verizon.

Sprint service (I have had them for 5+ years) used to be awesome in Nashville. Now on the way home from (Airport area) the phone will not work and has 3 dead spots in a 5 mile drive home. Its useless. I have gone from having wonderful experiences to having a very bad one. I have done PRL (phone) updates, Roaming updates etc and nothing has worked to improve the area. Ironically I have 5 bars at work (where I dont need it) and only 3 or 4 at work. Best guess is that Sprint is falling from thier lofty heights from a few years ago.

This phone has always had poor reception. For the first year I was missing calls in east Nashville and south Nashville and did not even know it. The original phone I had with Sprint did not exhibit this problem. When I went back to Sprint with my complaint on the phone but they said the phone only had a 12-month warranty and I was in the 15th month of use. Since Sprint was not willing to rectify the problem I had only just confirmed as a phone problem I decided to change carriers. Sprint does great commercials but their real-world service leaves a lot to be desired. My 2-yr agreement runs out the end of March - then it's bye bye Sprint.

The phone revices really bad reception in Lewis, in and around mayfield. The phone will connect for about 1 minute and then drop the call. You can visually see the bars go down and drop the call. The phone was 400 dollars and I am very dissappointed.
