Sprints service in Tacoma is HORRIBLE! my reception keeps cutting in and out all day long, dropped calls, failed text sending, and as for data... the 3g is slower than dial up if you can actually get your phone to remain connected to the 3G network for more than a minute at a time. What good is unlimited service if you can not use the service. Looking at the coverage map Sprint does not have a single tower in Tacoma proper, the closest being in university place... What's up with that Sprint!?! Tacoma is a fairly good sized city... why no towers??? If I shut the phone off and back on it connects to one of the competitors towers and flies but within a minute it switches back to Sprint and the bars drop to 0 to 2 max with sporadic 3g.

Frequent dropped calls. When speaking, small movements cause call to cut out.

No reception in my home. My old Sprint phone (used in same home) got strong signal, good sound, no dropped calls (had phone for 5 years). Recently upgraded to Sprint Sanyo 3100 and now have miserable service in my home. Phone is only two months old, but I was told I needed to update phone with preferred roaming list, which I had done. Was also told I needed an adjustment to boost signal strength-got that done. Have been in to Sprint store numerous times regarding this issue. Sorry I signed up for another 2-year contract. Was told my phone is "fine" (also online reviews for this model phone are good). Did a tower fall down in my area?

Phone works great in this area and up to Seattle and out to Port Orchard / Bremerton area. Usually do not have reception problems, except in Kent.
