Thompson Dr. / Oak Valley, Madison, WI 53704 Fri Aug 29, 2008

I don't seem to have many reception problems when I drive home but I keep my phone in good condition and don't put it in my pocket, etc. My husband keeps his in his pocket and has all sorts of problems (and we have the same phone). I've had good experiences with Sprint's customer service the entire 7 years I've been with them but it seems when traveling to more remote areas and into some buildings there are reception issues. After looking at lots of reviews from all the different major companies it seems that no one company is really a good one as far as good reception and it seems to matter more about the phone you buy. Good customer service matters more than an extra bar in my opinion. At&t is awful on their internet / landline customer service and outages so there's no way I would ever want to sign up for anything else with them. They are evil since SBC bought them out.

Although my phones don't show much in way of bars for signal strength, I've never had a problem making or receiving calls / texts from home with either Virgin phone. The data link is spotty but the data service on Virgin is pretty pokey even when you have 5 bars.

I have traveled quite abit in the US and canada and AT&T has been good for me, but sometimes the signal isn't so good inside buildings in the US(but it has been getting better in my opinion). Canada had outstanding signal strength everywhere inside and out.

In my house it's hard to pick up anything unless you are outside, and even then it's usually no more then a bar.

Edgewood College, Madison, WI 53711 Sun Apr 27, 2008

Verizon has okay native coverage on the Edgewood College campus. Even though I usually only get 0-2 bars, I can make calls about 95% of the time. I don't have any problems outside but when I go to the lower levels of buildings, I will hang on to a weak Verizon signal and not be able to make calls, but if I go down one more floor and lose the Verizon signal completly, my phone will jump over the the closer US Cellular tower and I'll be able to make / receive calls just fine. I think that Verizon could use a tower closer to this area, but their coverage isn't bad enough for me to switch providers because overall I get awesome coverage just about everywhere I go in Wisconsin.
