Travel up hwy 43 and from Sheboygan to GreenBay and if you have a 1 hour call you'll drop that call at least 3-4 times. It's horrible. Called them and nada! Switching to Sprint and iPhone 4s. Half the cost and at least same service level.

3G Android phone. VMobile uses Sprint Network - keeps dropping calls inside my home. Mostly 1 or 0 bars. Also problems with VMail delays. Is getting WORSE.

I have begged and begged for improved service and they recommended I buy an antennea booster for 249.99 usd. I need mobile broadband also and will now NOT buy Verizon. I have been in Caledonia about 8 days and am very frustrated while job hunting. DANG IT.

I had Sprint when I lived in Racine and I can't help but think that any good reviews are in cahoots with the company. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh but I actually HAPPILY paid their cancellation fee because I couldn't tolerate another dropped call with a full signal or a 90-minute-late text message or voicemail notification. This is no exaggeration either. Sadly, I've heard from friends that Sprint is still having same issues. Go with another company unless your life consists of travelling and remaining in major metropolitan areas such as Chicago, New York City, or L.A.

the phone tells me I have full signal and no matter who I call, landline or cell it always cuts the conversation short by glitching the words. as soon as I step in my kitchen or go down 3 basement stairs it drops the call completely

no calls in basement, dropped call in the house, outside has the best signal. when visiting near erie and layard same if not worse, also no signal near or at wind point, no signal at pell lake near twin lakes. according to the offical T-Mobile site map all of these areas have very good service and if your outside there close to being right. t-molibe is not working well for me, on the other hand I switched from u.s. celluar to save money and I am switching back. u.s. celluar worked well everywhere I go and also never missed a call even in the basement. before you sign up with anyone do some reasearch first. I just switched thinking racine had good cell service but many companys get away with shortcut and your expence. pay as you go for 1st month then sign a contract. thats my advise for anyone.

The only place I can't use my cellphone in my house is in my basement -- and that's only if the battery on my phone is low. Great coverage. When I have reception problems is when I'm on the phone with US Cellular customers. I can never hear them.

Lucky to receive about 1 / 2 of my calls. I need to stand on a bed on the second floor of my house to get a reliable signal.

have excellent reception in this area. I can use my phone in the house anywhere. There is a small dead spot on 31 south of KR but other than that my reception has been great. I recently tried Sprint and the reception was so bad that I went back to Nextel and old phone.

Max I've ever gotten was two near the middle of a hill. Usually one, but sometimes a drop call. Racine is pretty bad for Sprint and they need a new tower or else should not have a store here.

I have never had a dropped call, or unable to get service from Nextel. We drive to Jacksonville, Fl every year and never any any issue along the way. Even on rides at Disney. I also use the phone on class trips to D.C. every year with no issues either. This past spring went to MN with no issues. Was looking to switch carriers because of cost but will rethink and stay with Nextel.

I use US Cellular and I have terrible reception. Dropped calls all the time. I have to stand next to a certain window - 1 bar is maximum. Very frustrating!
