Cell phone reception is ok with 2 - 3 bars and I don't get any dropped calls but battery life is shortened due to the low signal. There is no 4G like the Sprint map says, inside or out. You get 4G about a half mile up the road in Fairwood. Sprint needs to get LTE implented and stop passing off the old technology Clearwire as 4G. 4G on Sprint only works good when you right next to a tower. I would suspect within a few hundred yards, line of site. But my cell phone plan is so cheap with unlimited data that I overlook the shortcomings. Nothing beats $70 / month on a EVO 3D.

I kept dropping calls while at home so I looked this up: "How to Get Better Cell Phone Reception with Verizon" on eHow. so pressing *22899 updates the nearby towers It seems like I have much better reception, now I usually have 2-3 bars.

Poor reception in the house. Number of bars vary from 1 - 3. Impressed with the current T-Mobile coverage map for my location, so I'm thinking about changing to T-Mobile.

Generally runs 3 bars on the top floor surrounded by windows. Occassionally goes up to 4 bars but right now is going from 0-2 while sitting in the same spot on my desk. Also must say I hate their text message network. It's slow and the message doesn't just pop up like on my friends networks (SMS) - you have to download it and open it as if it were an email.

it used to good till about a momth ago. now I have dropped calls all the time

1 / 2 mile south of Valley Medical Ctr-- Avg 3-4 bars (out of 5) on bottom floor. Occasionally dips down to 2 bars but for the most part it's pretty steady. But they told me it wouldn't work at my location so I had to do some grunt work... I signed up with my home address for the billing address, but I said that my (home) service address was... . Well, basically I lived in a grocery store. :) Then I chatted online and they changed it no prob.

There's a cell phone tower only 2 blocks away, but it's not Sprint. Sucks!

Very poor Sprint reception in the Laurelhurst development. 0 or 1 bar at best. No signal inside my house. The local Sprint store agent just shrugged her shoulders and said others didn't have a problem. I'll be switching to another carrier.

i live right off Maple Valley Highway, on 5th St. SE - by the golf course. get great reception on Maple Valley Hwy. - shoddy on my block. i've been told that I live less than 1 mile from a tower, but I don't get good reception in my house, and outside, it's a crapshoot.

I get zero reception in my house and outside. To make a call, I have to drive out to 156th Ave SE... and even then it is spotty. I had several TMobile customer service agents refuse to let me out of my contract based on the lack of service in my home. Luckily, I finally got in contact with a helpful and knowledgable person at TMobile who could get the right information and help me out. I'm now looking for a new cellular company.

I was under the old AT&T GSM for awhile and had excellent reception. I wanted a new phone so I migrated over to Cingular. I was kinda worried at first about the reception but so far it has been great. I usually get between 4 and 5 bars at most of the places I go (around Renton, downtown Seattle, West Seattle, Bellevue... )

Had Cingular before and reception was great. Can't get a signal with T-Mobile. My wife switched us to T-Mobile and I missed the cancelation period thus was stuck with not being able to get a signal at home for a whole year! Called T-Mobile numerous times and they refused to waive cancelation fees. Recommendation: don't use T-Mobile, the signal is too weak in most areas especially with hills and the staff is inconsiderate.

Rarely get more than 1 bar here, spotty reception. I call Verizon and they say everything should be OK. Other people's phones from other carriers get several bars at my location. My phone gets good reception elsewhere. Verizon refuses to admit there's a hole in their map.

Decent coverage for this location.

I live in an apartment building with a tower right around the corner (about 1 blk away). I usually have only 1 bar when I'm at home. My phone has had 2 really weird moments (temporary, about 5-10 min duration) where I couldn't receive or make a call for no apparent reason. I have not called T-Mobile about it mostly because I know that buildings / indoor situations can cause problems for the weaker-than-analog Digital signals. I have thought about switching carriers but I REALLY don't want to sign a 2-year contract when the companies just don't stay consistent in ownership OR signal coverage. My advice to people who have complained with no improvement: Demand to be let out of your contract immediately. It IS their fault, don't let them tell you it's yours because you can't hang off your balcony far enough. Ultimately if there is no signal at your home / office, it's breach of contract on their part. They MUST let you out with no penalty because they aren't holding up their end of the bargain.

I'm an AT&T customer whose service was acquired by Cingular in the merger. I'm still using the phone I originally purchased from AT&T, but I am continuously having dropped calls and poor reception. New Cingular customers seem to be having better reception in this area when they use new Cingular phones.

No or very poor reception except for a few areas in the house.

Very spotty reception. Get about 1 bar at home. Downtown issaquah get full bars.

Sucky! I have had T-Mobile for a long time and it works great in the city, but I don't get squat at home. I have talked to T-Mobile people and promises were made to improve the situation. That was 2 years ago. Recently had a friend over and his Cingular had 3-4 bars or higher once you step outside. I'm done waiting!

The moment I walk up to my house I lose reception. Extremely spotty service, even though Verizon has a tower less than half a block away. Also have poor service in grocery stores or any other kind of building for that matter.
