Little to no Sprint reception here. Same with Verizon. We tested a bunch of phones and Alltel and Nextel both get good bars here.

Nice, clear reception. Towers 3 blocks away must be Spring towers.

Dropped calls constantly. Reception seems to be good during travels around the state, but very bad in the home office. They have towers all over this city and can't give me good reception where 295, 64, and 95 meet. I'm changing to Verizon. Spring customer service is terrible. Spent my whole afternoon in the Broad St.location, where there were 30 people waiting in line, to have them tell me something I already knew. The assistant manager told me that they are always that busy... .you think they would hire more than the 6 people to work the floor.

I have been a Sprint PCS Customer for almost 6 years now and have been very happy. In Innsbrook area, I have poor cell reception while at work, which is not acceptable.

I've used Sprint PCS service in the Richmond, VA area for the past 5 years. I also travel all over the state of Virginia. I can actually say the coverage has gotten better over time. I am very pleased with my service and don't see a need for adding the roaming package. The most interesting thing I noticed about Sprint's serice was about 2 1/2 years ago. Even though the entire city lost power during the hurricane, I never lost service.

I got no signal at all anywhere in my office building in West Creek. Once outside the building I was able to get a signal. However, Verizon works inside the building. I was able to get a signal in the west end and the fan. 4G signal strength was strongest downtown but dropped out frequently in my house in the West End.

I get signal when I'm out on the street but as soon as I step inside my office, there is no coverage. I'm thinking of switching but want to retain my lovely curve :)

I bought my 6600 Nokia in Portugal and have used in roaming in England, Holand and France and let me tell you that I never had such a good reception as I have here in Richmond in the place I live. All the bars are permanently up and I believe I have six bars to inform me about the streght of the signal. I am very happy with my reception and my T.mobile carrier. KG
