Although I get only 2 bars in my basement office the reception is far better than what I got with my Nextel service which was no reception

The signal fluctuates terribly. It will go from full bars to none in the same spot. Sprint customers service is bad. All they want to do is sell you another phone or up sell you on your plan. They are sales people not technical assistance folks.

I have been happy with Sprint in the past. Now the coverage and the service is going downhill. Often I can't call my spouse and she can't call me. We go straight to voice mail even if we have signal(which is weird). And Sprint support really talked about 'holes' in the coverage area.

Calls drop all the time. Phone shows that I have full signal but call will not go through frequently. Verizon has always been good to me until I got this phone.

2 blocks from a tower and poor reception in my home? 3rd phone is now offering "somewhat" better reception. Looking for a new carrier when my contract is up.

Well let me start off by saying I am a teenage girl who loves to talk to her friends and fellow classmate and using Virgin mobil is not helping. Every month a waste my mothers money by purchasing a 20$ phone card which will soon be eaten up. My argument with the prepaid issue is it when you run low on minutes your phone just turns off, what iff one day I am a situation where I need to use my cell ohone but I have no minutes left. Every time I purchase a 20$ phone card I could be sa nving money for a contract which would let me talk free nights and weekends.

I lose numerous calls in my house near WH Blvd.and Forest Hills. The reception was no better with Suncom, so I suspect the area's reception area is generally bad.

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.
