I had Sprint initially and I couldn't use my phone inside my home. I work at a hospital and I always have "No Signal" on my display. I know it's not the hospital because other c-workers and doctors use thier phones in the halls and even elevators and get reception. So I changed to Nextel because my brother had it. Well, same thing. Soon after, they merged with Sprint and it got worse. They told me I needed to buy a more expensive phone to get better reception. What kinda crock is that??

UofH Satellite MD Anderson Library / Satellite,MD Anderson Library, Inside Buildings intersection, Houston, TX 77004 Thu Feb 22, 2007

Overall I believe Verizon has the best network especially at the University of Houston0-main. You know the satellite, underground dining, where most of my friends have no signal (yes ironic name) but I at most 2 bars, which is better than their 0bars. Even in classrooms like the fleming building or the Science Engineering and Research classrooms I get signal. And last but not least, the MD Anderson Library. I get signal in the computer lab. It does at times go in and out, but hey I am getting signal and not T-Mobile or cingular. or Sprint ha ha poor sprint. Not sure about cricket though. I just wish verizon's plans werent so expensive, but hey for signal pretty much anywhere is a good trade off. You get what you pay for.

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!

Gray St. / Montrose intersection, Houston, TX 77019 Tue Jan 02, 2007

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.

S. Rice / Jason intersection, Houston, TX 77096 Sat Dec 23, 2006

I've had perfect reception in the Bellaire / Meyerland area for years. Verizon unquestionably has the best reception in Houston. I've been with Verizon for over 8 years now and have never had any major problems, other than the occasional billing quibble which was ultimately my fault. I've tried Cingular and Sprint through my job (they give all employees a cell). Sprint dropped ~10% of my calls in Houston when driving around, especially in the Downtown area. Cingular dropped ~15% of my calls, and had horrible reception from my Meyerland home. If you want great reception in Houston, I recommend Verizon.

Bay Glen- FM 2351 / Space Center Blvd. intersection, Houston, TX 77062 Tue Nov 28, 2006

Works ok (at best) throughout Clear Lake and Houston, just not in our neighborhood, Bay Glen. Why do we need roll over minutes when we can't use the service at home where most of the "long" calls are needed? We have 500 mins on family plan with two phones. We roll over at least 300 every month. What a rip.
