Via Linda Going E Towards 136th St., Scottsdale, AZ 85259 Mon Jan 16, 2006

Sprint is worthless if you live in Scottsdale, I get dropped calls or no service at Scottsdale Mtn. 136th St. Also going from Via Linda W. to Frank Lyod zero service and also merging onto the 101 freeway from 99th St / Pima South zero service. I've had them for 2yrs. and hate them, Verizon and T-Mobile seem to be the only way to talk.

Scottsdale, AZ / 92nd St / Thunderbird intersection, Scottsdale, AZ 85260 Wed Dec 30, 2009

I rarely get sufficient bars to complete a call from my home area. Moving outdoors does not make much difference. I might start out with 5 bars, but it quickly deteriorates to 0 and drops the call.

No reception even though maps say we should have 2 or 3 bars. No T-Mobile phone works out there but Verizon works just fine.

Cingular is worthless in the Rio Verde Foothills area east of 12x st. and only slightly better until you actually get to Pima Rd when heading west. With all of the development in the area it's sad that the largest carrier seems to have the worst coverage. T-Mobile does have some coverage in the area.

Having a cel phone here and needing to drive 15 miles to get tower reception from Carefree or Paradise Valley area for reception does not warrant having the cel phone. C. and E. Stasik 28006 N. 158 Street, 85262

Shea Blvd- Eagle Mountain / Eagle Mountain Pky (148th St) intersection, Fountain Hills, AZ 85268 Fri Dec 25, 2009

Service is HORRIBLE in Eagle Mountain. Signal goes in and out all day. Sometimes you get 3 or 4 bars (for a minute or so) and then NO SERVICE for HOURS. This occurs with all 3 Verizon users in the household (all using different model Verizon phones). NO SERVICE drains your battery as your phone is constantly searching for a signal. When you do get a call one thing is guaranteed, you better get off fast or you are going to be dropped. I have NEVER been able to hold a call more then a minute or two which is why I rated the RECEPTION as 0. Once you get down Shea about a mile in either direction, service is fine. This has been an ongoing problem for a long time and Verizon keeps saying there is no problem or that they are working on it. I use my phone in travel / buiness and have no problems anyplace else in the country which is why I have not switched YET. If you live in this area and expect to use your phone from home, then I would seriously consider an alternate carrier. Good luck.
