I got a new Sprint iphone in Feb 2012. Service on iphone was spotty but possible inside my house. Since 01Mar2012 service has been horrible to non existent for making phone calls. Receipt or sending of texts is occasional. This seems to be occurring in all of Elmhurst whenever I attempt to text or make a phone call. I have always had Sprint service which was fine previously. My 5 year old flip phone had better reception for calls and texts. Unfortunately, I have passed the 30 day trial period so I cannot return the phone. Was planning on dropping land line guess I'll have to move instead. Sprint acts surprised anytime I call to inform them of the lack of service.... .calling from Villa Park, of course.

Horrible reception by Verizon. No signal at all in my house or outside. (We used to get at least 1 bar.) Have to drive 5-10 minutes out of the Verizon black hole to pick up a signal. What's the deal?

I just bought 2 new cell phones a little over a week ago and signed an AT&T two year contract for both phones on a family plan. My calls drop on EVERY call 5 minutes into my conversation. This is very embarrassing (as frustrating) b/c I use my phone for work. I've had so many people tell me that they don't even here my phone ring when they call or even get my voicemail - just a fast busy signal. Many times in the past week I've had 'emergency' only on my phone, meaning I can't make or receive calls. The '5 bars of reception' that ATT advertises is a joke. I don't even move and it toggles from 5 bars to 0.
