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.

Spotty reception in my house -- could be the lead paint or my crappy handset. Contacted Cingular / AT&T many times -- they provided new phone but problems persist. Other folks (including Cingular customers) don't have any problems with receiving service in our home, so I don't think it's the paint (probably no lead in it anyway). -xebtron

never had a dropped call with Verizon only problem voice echoes sometimes for some reason when I had Nextel before I would always have 2 bars with Verizon I got all of them

can't make or receive calls from my home or office. Didn't have this problem with Virgin Mobile.

GSM reception on this phone is good in the area. However, if I try a Motorola E398 that is set for 1900mhz, it catches AT&T instead and reception is quite poor.

Yeha the signal is full. But some time (especially nights) I can’t make or receive calls. IT says Circuits are busy! Don’t know why? While for my friends they got several problems with same model and service. They have to talk only on Speaker Phone... even in public.

Great Coverage all over Houston Area

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

many dropped calls. Carrier claims due to aircraft at Hobby airport.

At home, my service ALWAYS drops off after about 30-40 minutes. It's like there is some allocation of signal strength and when reached, the phone drops to no signal and the call ends. After a few seconds, the signal surges back to 3 / 4 bars. Same thing happens downtown. This has happened with AT&T and now Cingular.

Always drop calls when BW8 and getting near Memorial.

very low reception some times droped calls

The cell phone receives a very bad signal. The bars are all the way up but the calls are horrible to hear.

I am unable to use my cell phone anywhere in my neighborhood. Once in a while I can make a call but after a few seconds the connection is dropped. I have to drive about a mile either way down Fry Rd before I can use my phone. Very annoying.
