Sprint

2 Out of 5 (2 stars) | Mineral Point | Rosa, Madison, WI 53705 |

When I go north just a few blocks (anywhere near University Dr.) my signal is GREAT! But this area near Mineral Point between Whitney Way and Gammon has weaker signal strength, often just 1 bar, and sometimes dropping calls. One side of my apartment (facing SE) is better than the other.

I get good reception on T-Mobile pretty much everywhere in Madison including the suburbs. Fast data speed as well. Outside of the city in the rural areas it's not good and sometimes will not have data but if you live in the city it works great.

0 Out of 5 (0 stars) | Capitol Area, 53703, Madison, WI 53703 |

The funny thing is that the phone will show up to 5 bars and drop down to none. The phone itself is in great condition and has never dropped a single call in NY or FL. Yesterday it dropped 70 calls over 4 hours. T-Mobile told me to switch from 4G to 2G--didn't help. I'm going to have to switch carriers.

The only way I can receive a call is if I'm outside in my backyard. Absolutely no bars inside my house. Called Verizon, they told me to return the phone and go with a different carrier. I NEVER had problems with US Cellular, but wanted the iPhone so I switched to Verizon. Mistake. May switch back to US Cellular when contract is up. I don't understand why no problems with US Cellular and nothing but problems with Verizon.

there is absolutely no TMobile reception here. Not even a hint of a signal, even from the third floor of this house. I ve only had T mobile a few weeks, but between this experience and what I get in Chicago, I may have to switch again.

I have hardly ant reception. I have to go up to my loft just to get a one bar signal. I can't send picture texts. I called Sprint and was told that 3 of the 4 towers in that area are have been down for a few weeks. I said this has been going on for a well over a yr now. They did nothing for me.

Horrible. Avoid at all costs. Spotty coverage everywhere on campus, and absolutely no reception near State St.or at my apartment on Langdon. Switching to AT&T asap

3 Out of 5 (3 stars) | Fitchburg | Lacy, Madison, WI 53711 |

Our Verizon coverage just went up to 3 bars in Fitch. I travel a lot to northern WI and to FLA in the winter. Never a dropped call and usually can make a call anywhere. We have 2 iPhones bundled on a plan. Maybe T-Mobile gets better coverage in Wisc and then I might switch.

4 Out of 5 (4 stars) | S Pinckney St. | E Washington Ave., Madison, WI 53714 |

Was worried about getting T-Mobile Monthly 4G $30 / month plan pre-paid. I live far east side, kind of by East Towne Mall. Service was good on bus ride all the way to capitol square. Full bars on the square. Great data speed everywhere. I've only had this for one day and will update if coverage turns out to be worse later. Loving it! (Came from Sprint)
