sprint reception is TERRIBLE in my house. Sprint says that we just happen to live in a dead spot which is incredibly frustrating. I have heard from many people here (including william and mary students) that Verizon is much better.

Sprint provides very poor coverage in the Williamsburg area. I will be changing carrier as soon as I can.

Verizon works generally well all over Williamsburg, typically hanging around 3 to 4 bars (out of 6 on this phone), slightly less indoors. Dropped calls are very rare. Picks up MAJOR interference from the wireless internet network on the campus of William and Mary - zero reception almost all the time, with small pockets of signal.

Inside hotel, no reception at all. Outside, my reception fluctuated between 1 bar and 2 bars (out of a possible 5).

I thought reception was bad inside my Fraternity house built in the late 1900's, until I moved to VA. It's hard to even make a call inside my house, or even in my back yard. Over near Wal-Mart / Lowes it's not so bad, but it's sad when I get better service in Culpeper than I do in Williamsburg :(

It seems that Sprint's tower is malfunctioning as reception used to be average, and now is non existant.

Verizon works so much better than any other phone provider. I have friends who ask to use my phone just because they have bad single. On certain parts of campus there are rough spots -- but with in very limited area. Inside most buildings service is perfect (basements can sometimes be trouble spots). I don't know of any other service provider that even comes close to the amount of coverage Verizon offers in Williamsburg

If I wasn't on a two year contract with AT&T, I would switch in a second. I get absolutely no service inside the Jamestown buildings, or Swem, or many of the others. I used to get very little service inside my dorm in other buildings, though, not nothing at all. And when I called AT&T's customer service to tell them it's terrible on campus, all they said was "it's labeled as 'good service'". I told them I was standing right in the middle of it, and it definitely isn't good service, but my call was dropped and I didn't get a call back. I'm very frustrated with them at the moment, I mean honestly... why do other providers get service inside this building, and only AT&T has problems?

No reception inside the dormitory. AT ALL! Tried talking to at&t's costumer service and said that they don't guarantee calls from indoors WTF...

Calls drop. One or no bars inside any academic buildings or dormitories. However, works perfect on outside. In addition, signal gets stronger and stronger as one walks toward James Town Rd and Richmond Rd Interesection.
