garbled calls dropped calls calls where I can here one of every 4 or 5 words Customer service is on 3rd check saying if phone works outside use outside. The phone doesn't even work outside.

Really bad service from ATT. Plenty of dropped calls or calls that did not ring the phone. After I told their customer service rep that the only way I could use the phone was to stand in the middle of my back yard, she actually said "then you have service". Amazing. Funny part is that the phone, and previous iPhone, worked fine for 18 months. Then 6 months ago it all went down. New phone didn't help.

Neighbor has same complaint, Have to go out on front porch and sometimes it works, otherwise it rings, but can't hear anything

no bars in apartment. called several times and they just gave me some bs about how they couldn't do anything about it.

I have 5 bars and 3G service shown on my phone, but I can't call out or receive calls. Txt msg works if I stick phone near a window.

I was excited to get out of the South Austin / Manchaca dead zone for Sprint but it turns out I have better reception even there. Sprint's coverage map notes "best" reception where I live and it's not true at all. I'm tired of the cutting in and out and the dropped calls and I've only lived here 2 days. What's the deal, Sprint? Been with you for almost 7 years and have liked your deals and phones, but please do something about your coverage area. If you can't do that, do something about your coverage area maps so we are not duped into thinking it'll be the "best."

There is absolutely no consistent reception in this area. I called AT&T, waiting over an hour to get to the right person, and was told that AT&T had no plans to add any towers or improve the reception. Our cell phones are worthless here.

AT&T Service is horrific in this area. Signal reception bounces all over the place. AT&T says they're spending $2B in 2010 to fix their network. I hope its before everyone goes over to VERIZON for reliable, dependabl and stable service. AT&T should be investigated for consumer fraud, having offered consumers horrific service over the past 24 months.

For being boost, it works really well, had it for a month, and only one dropped calls. I can hear the other party that I am talking to almost crystal clear. For being prepaid / 50 a month it is amazing. Draw backs are internet is super slow and text messaging always "downloads" the message and is A LOT slower than any other carrier I have had.

I have enough reception to answer a call, but it is immediately dropped. Data reception is intermittent.

Sprint works great not only in this area but all over Austin. Prior to Sprint had T-Mobile and lived on congress; 1.5 miles from downtown. T-Mobile service was terrible.

The service is here is maily good, but there are more dropped calls than I fell is normall, and my text messages rarely go through the first time I send them.

Super fast 3G coverage everywhere in the area (though I do have trouble getting service in a few buildings on the UT campus-especially underground).

My Verizon Wireless coverage is EXCELLENT within the 78727 zip code area. I have traveled extensively throughout this area and have never had a dropped call. I've had excellent coverage off W. Parmer Lane near the Dell Computer facilities as well.

0 - 2 bars tops. Frequently calls drop and incoming goes straight to voice mail. Sometimes have to go stand in front yard to talk. If carriers were not so secretive about tower locations, you could figure out what the problem was - ie phone, terrain, buildings or what.

AT&T used to be good in this area, but now is dropping calls almost every time I drive down Windsor at MoPac and is very poor in my office (Windsor and Exposition).

Great signal with Verizon in this area - and the same in most of Austin with this phone - very, very few dropped calls or bad connections.

Sprint coverage in the Scofield Ridge Subdivision isn't good and is spotty at best. Nextel though seems to work the best throughout the area.

For the most part, I have service, ranging from 1 to 5 bars, but also there are times when I get Searching... It's survivable but I can't wait for the MicroCell to become available nationally.

Signal has improved a lot over the past year. Outside is always 5 bars, inside apt is 3-5 bars depending on how close to the outside wall I am.
