Sometimes my phones goes to roaming, slow 3g speeds, no 4g coverage

I had Sprint in the Past and I had to get another service provider because of the missed text and calls. But that was back in 2005. I am glad I made the switch back to Sprint because of all the providers capping the data or slowing down the speeds down to EDGE a.k.a T-Mobile! But over all I am overly pleased with Sprint. I have only had one dropped call and that was in the underground basement of the Science museum here in Houston.

Signal is 3G only and Strength is a mere 28% in my office. Verizon has a much stronger signal in the same location.

Phone had reception up until April 8th 2011, now I cannot receive phone calls or text but the apps (Facebook, Twitter) still work. I currently pick up someone from the Metro bus stops and it isn't safe to be without a line of communication..especially for women. Get it together Sprint or lose a 10 yr plus customer (with multiple lines).

Very poor receptions. 4G almost non-exist. In some open areas slightly outside of TMC (Fannin / S. Braeswood arear), now even don't have 3G signals.

while in my home I can not make or receive calls. I have had Sprint for about 11 years now.

My signal varies from 3-4 bars... I rarely get dropped calls. I work off of 290 / 610 and I get A LOT of dropped calls.

Almost never had dropped calls inside my house. A Sprint rep once told me that Sanyo phones get the best reception because they were made for Sprint; don't know if that is true but seems so. My husband and I have the basic Sanyo phones and never had problems even travelling between Seattle through Florida. Our son always had the new-fangled phones of other brands but often had to go outside the house to get a decent reception.

I always get 4 or 5 bars in our apartment complex and rarely ever get a dropped call.

You can even see the cell tower from where the signals coming from!

only get 2 bars on phone but calls rarely drop.

everybody says, "you are breaking up, can you repeat that. I can barely hear you" This over a period of 4 years from 2004 to present April 09 J. Stewart

Had a trouble to receive calls since I move this adress.

In our 3-story town house, reception is good on the 3rd floor but only 1 bar on the 1st and 2nd floors (meaning calls get missed, and calls are impossible to make).

I am on my FOURTH Sprint cell phone and not one has been able to get reception at my house. I also don't get reception when driving past Bellaire High School, Meyerland Plaza, or at my office (when I get calls at my home or office I have to run outside). I have been with them since 2000 when I was younger and my parents payed for the service. Because they were paying for it I accepted it. Now that I am on my own I have changed to Verizon and the reception is great. The bills are much higher, but at the end of the day being able to actually use my cell phone is the most important quality for me.

When I step into my home I get one bar or my phone often goes into roam. If I am standing on the sidewalk infront of my house I get two bars, but I still drop 9 out of 10 calls. Sprint reception in this area is horrible.

I get 0 to 2 bars inside my house. Well actually I get 3-4 bars when not using the phone, but as soon as I push talk it drops to 0-2 bars. Always the call is dropped or the call goes in and out. Very embrassing for business! I am FUSTRATED with Sprint as they cannot help me at all. Our contract ends in September and we will switch. I highly do NOT recommend Sprint in the Meyerland Area!

I Have Sprint.In La Porte I only get 1 bar. I cant place a call over here. But in downtown I get all my bars on my cell. In My Home In Houston I get 2 or 3 bars. I can place and receive calls, but I get static sometimes. Overall I like Sprint but I prefer AT&T wireless.

Only 18 months to go... Dropped calls, no call received- just routes to voice mail, several failed text attempts. Nothing like paying too much for so little.

Usually get 2 bars inside the house in Deerfield Subdivision. Frequently drops calls. I used to have Cingular and changed to Sprint due to spotty Cingular service out of state. That was a mistake. Went from bad to worse with Sprint.

Since Sprint upgraded the tower near Cy Fair College around February of 2007 service has been great. Also, speeds with the data card are awesome.

I receive and send calls frequently in this area and get very good reception. I understand Sprint is adding another tower very soon as well.

Ive never had a dropeed call with Sprint in this area, and I have been living here for about a year now. Shame they dont have cool phones like cingular, but I believe Sprint is the best for the houston area !

Sprint has more dropped calls in major Metro areas like Houston. All of the Sprint phones I have had have poor reception and can not hold a call in my home. As soon as my contract is up BYE, BYE, SPRINT!

Horrible Reception in Townhome (likely interference from steel structure or something like that). Sprint service seems very patchy to me in Houston. Especially in Spring, TX (North of Houston). The medical center gets good reception, of course. I've been with them too long and am going to try Cingular or Verizon.

I've been with Sprint for 8 years and I'm appalled at how much the service - both reception and customer - has deteriorated. I travel on business across the U. S. and my phone keeps dropping calls. It doesn't matter which state I'm in. I went into the store on Westheimer and Dunvale to purchase a new phone on the off-chance that the problem lies within my handset. It took the service rep guy 45 minutes to program my new phone, and when he was finished, he had programed the wrong phone line onto my phone. That's an honest mistake, and easily corrected, right? Wrong! It took him 4 hours to find out how to fix the problem and he had to call the *2 customer line for assistance. Then the manager tells him not to do what the *2 customer rep told him to do because that would mess up store inventory. The manager then says he'll fix it. This is after 4 hours! of sitting right next to the poor guy and watching him struggle to reprogram the phone, and watching me wait. When I told the manager I thought it was ridiculous that it took him 4 hours to step in and help, that this was the last straw ontop of months of horrible service, and that Sprint was about to lose my business. He said "I don't care". People, that about sums up Sprint right now - They don't care!

Very happy with reception. When I first moved here I had Cingular, and Sprint is slightly better. Even works in some elevators in the Med Center.

Keep getting dropped here on every call. On the Sanyo RL-4920(1st line), I can make and receive phone calls half the time but get dropped easily. On a Sanyo VI-125(2nd line), the Sanyo VI-125 has trouble making and receiving calls most of the time. Signal is good along major freeways but weak inside the office at Westheimer and Briarpark Dr. in the Westchase area.

The signal is very poor even when I get out to see if I can get better signal,when I call Sprint to report they blame my cell and tell me togo to the technical suupport,be aware those call center are located in overseas like,India,Phillippines,Mexico and Canada and really is a pain you know where try to fix the problem even technical support by phone are located in India.

Inside apt (Village on the Lake at NASA 1 and Space Center Blvd), we get 0-1 bar, must go outside for service, at which point we get barely enough for short conversations. Worst customer service one can imagine, incompetent at best.

My apartment is about 300 feet from a cell tower which has 4 carriers on it. I receive one bar on my cellphone. Also, the same along Briar Forest and Memorial. My friend's Verizon phone has full bars.

Ever since Sprint acquired Nextel I have more dropped calls than not. I signed a two year contract with Nextel based on a higher quality of service in the Heights. Now, Sprint will not let me out of the contract. Where is the FCC when we need them?

I continually get dropped calls within my house so I switched to a Blackberry on Cingular. Now I get reception but the Blackberry is terrible, very bad static, everyone complains. I want Sprint to fix this problem!

Sprint PCS has pretty good reception in this area.

verzion willnot use blue tooth to myblue tooth car radio cel phone hookup 2007 camery.

Terrible Service every where!

the call gets dropped after initial connection - every time. I have to go outside my house into back yard to get the service on again

Very spotty. Get horrible reception in my apt. on Hawthorne and Yupon, but a few blocks away and it's fine. My friends that have other services can get reception in my apt.

dropped every single call during course of a 3-4 hour drive from Dallas to Houston along I-45. Customer service is an oxymoron (they've "dead zones" between their ears!); the only segment of Sprint / Nextel that actually works is their billing department.

Consistent, excellent reception in this area for approximately 1 year.

if you change the settings to roam you have lot's of signal. I was in pert, texas, a small town in east texas and I didn't have any signal at all. I changed the settings and in 'digital roam' I had full signal. there's no roaming charges with my plan so it doesn't matter. Sprint seems to have contracts to bounce off several carriers towers which makes your roaming area even broader. it's a good thing. the only complaint I have with this phone is that the keypad seems to get really hot, but, it makes the inside of my face hot. I normally hold it up to my right ear and now my right eye has a twitch - is there a link? possibly.

In my neighborhood I have terrible reception. 1 bar if I'm lucky. I have to leave the neighborhood in order for me to get good reception. Any one else, has problems with Sprint in the same area? I'm considering going to cingular

I've had Sprint PCS for 5 years. I really satisfied with the service. I travel quite a lot as well. Travelling I never had problems.Except 59 north around Nacodoches, which honestly not many carriers have reception in those areas. Major highway, interstate roads never had problems. It also sometimes depends on the phone as well. I had small LG flip phone didn't work well.

Dropped calls are the rule rather than the exception. Even standinging outside in my driveway, if I move a foot either direction, it drops or else says I am not in a PCS service area. Sheesh! When traveling, it is common that my Sprint service is unavailable, while my daughter's Verizon phone has no problem. This is especially true in analog roam areas, where anything theoretically works.

I live on a second floor apartment and get no signal and many dropped calls. Its so bad that I have to get in my car and drive to get a signal. THANKS SPRINT!

reception is okay in this area, sometimes it goes below 3 bars.

We very rarely have reception problems with our Sprint phones in this area. Occasionally an incoming call won't ring through during evening rush hours, but aside from that, it works beautifully here for us. We routinely traverse the area along S. Hwy. 6 at West Oaks and Mission Bend, up along N. Hwy. 6 through Bear Creek and Copperfield, and on up FM 1960 to the Willowbrook area, while using our Sprint phones. We also make routine treks to Katy along I-10 or Clay Rd. as far as Grand Pwky. Service is always top-notch for us in all of those areas as well! We've now had Sprint for 6 years and dropped calls in our area have truly been a rarity for the past 2-3 years.

Pretty phone, too bad I can't talk on it. Thanks Sprint!

Signed 2 year Business contract with 3 phones. Can't communicat with employees. Sprint won't aknowledge the problem.

dead zone despite all sorts of Sprint towers in the area

Reception is sproadic at best even though they claim to have towers all around the area. Even the new Sprint PCS Store at loop 610 and Shepperd has difficulty with reception. The Manager is the most vocal about the problem, seconded by the Tech Reps. The Sales staff tells customers that Sprint is not going to change anything further. Question is "What did they change before?" I'm a long time Sprint customer and the service in the past 8 months has deteroiated substantially. Twice in the past 2 days, someone almost got hurt when the Sprint reliability factor was inviked and the phones went to Drop Dead Status. Sorry Sprint, a lot of us complained and you don't want to fix the problem. Time for a change

Has deteriorated seriously over the past month or two.

Coverage is great inside my house and out. Generally no problems with Sprint in Houston except near Houston Center on the east side of Downtown... goes to analog roam. Same thing happened yesterday in the new trench on US 59 just south of downtown, although towers line that stretch of freeway. That being said, I still have yet to experience a dropped call, although roaming can be pricey at 50 cents / min.

I'm a med student living / studying in the med center. My phone is always at max or near-max signal strength in the buildings here. I get great reception all around town. I think it's phone-dependent. I had a samsung phone 2 years ago, and I got very low signal strength in the same areas.

Very good reception in this area. Never had a dropped call. Good reception inside my home and office too.

Usually only one signal bar in my apartment, constantly dropping calls.

Service is great. I have never had better service than Sprint. I think the Sanyo 8100 is a perfect phone for the PCS service. I travel some to Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and service has been very good. Never any dropped calls. Verizon would drop calls in my house with sitting.

About half the calls still go straight to voicemail.

No signal to speak in my house, and consistent dropout spots on the highways. My crappy Samsung SCH-6100 phone is partly to blame. I've had Sprint for four years, three cities and two phones because of their good rate plans, but have always been unhappy with the call quality.
