Great reception almost anywhere - in Charlottesville, I usually get perfect service. Out here in the middle of nowhere between Earlysville and Free Union, I have 1 bar - enough to make a call. Previously I've had SunCom and Alltel - SunCom had horrible service out here, couldn't make calls whatsoever, and it's been so long since I've had Alltel that it's possible the service has changed. Great thing about Sprint is that I can switch my phone to roaming - I can roam on the US Cellular network and get three out of four bars on my phone (so nearly perfect service.) I'm in a two year contract with Sprint, but I'm happy, for the most part. I wish I had gone with US Cellular, as they literally get service almost anywhere in Earlysville. But Sprint can be bundled with DSL, Dish network TV, and local phone service - so it can all come on one bill, which is nice. The only place where I've been disappointed with reception is Forest Lakes - although there are towers across 29, I only get 1 bar. Overall, I'd recommend Sprint, but not over US Cellular.
