Signal is all but absent inside buildings. I have to go outside to make and receive calls or use Data. Sprint plans are great, but it is wasted money if you cannot get the reception you need. If set to roaming, phone works better, but can only get 1x data when roaming, too slow! Sprint owns no towers up here and uses mostley Verizon towers, but only at 40% according to Verizon. None of the carriers seem to have great coverage up here, but Verizon seems to be the best according to their users.

Anywhere in the Birchwood area Sprint is really poor. 1 bar or less indoors, flickering to 2 bars when outside.

Have never lost a signal with 1-2 bars out here yet. Never a problem to call on outgoing calls at all and very happy with the Sprint service.

Moved up from Seattle where we had great coverage. Now, working and commuting into Bellingham, my wife and I get dropped calls all the time. Fortunately, our contract term has expired, so we'll be switching. From what we've heard from others, it sounds like Verizon has the most reliable coverage in this area.

I can't get a signal at all where I live. The good news is, that after putting in a ticket, T-Mobile has promissed to build a tower in Sudden Valley within 9 months. As of today, there are 3-4 months left for them to complete this task. Just as the above poster stated, I can't get a signal anywhere here (sudden valley). As soon as Fred Meyer is in sight, I get a perfect signal, and EDGE GPRS.

Polo Park Dr. / Near Gate 9 and 13, Bellingham, WA 98229 Fri Jun 22, 2007

Poor reception for T-Mobile Razr fully charged. Sometimes have to go outside to make a call, but can usually receive them indoors. Being near to Gate 9 / 13 (closer to Lake Louise Rd) and closer to the mountain probably blocks signal. If raining, I'll go upstairs near my front window to make a call. Don't recommend, and I've had this service for several years due to needing to add phones for family plan. Now my contract is over, I'm looking for better signal coverage here.

Traveling from downtown to Fairhaven on Blvd.I usually loose my call about a half mile before I get to Fairhaven. Reception is great all the way to Blvd.Park and then it dies until Fairhaven where it is again good.

Sometimes less than one bar. Hilly country challenges transmission but tower not sited for best coverage of population Bruce

WWU Campus / Parks Hall, Bellingham, WA 98225 Sun Sep 13, 2009

Although the Verizon bars often indicate full coverage in WWU buildings, calls do not go out nor do they come in. But, if I arrive on campus while on the phone, the call stays connected. This is likely not a tower issue but a bandwidth issue with 10000 students using cell phones there are not enough channels. If I leave my phone on in any building, the battery quickly dies as it tries and tries to maintain contact. Each transmission costs charge. "How many Bars" is not the only issue!
