In Spirit Lake, IA get one bars or zero with iwireless{affiliate} Only 13 miles about south. In Spencer,IA get full bars with iwireless. Every time pay bill have call T-Mobile and have them put me back on roaming{longlines} tower. Have full bars in either town with roaming. T-Mobile great in MN. Took me day and half get roaming tower. Hope iwireless or T-Mobile put more towers up. Still not able make calls with full roaming. Call in every month for least an hour. All they say is am sorry. T-Mobile has horrible customer service. IA sucks with T-Mobile but more expensive if I change carriers. Dont have T-Mobile in northwest IA!

"More bars in more places" - not so much. No signal in "best" coverage area. I realize the coverage map is just an estimation, but it couldn't more incorrect. It's like me saying the sky is orange, and then following that with a disclaimer that my observation of the sky was just an estimation.

I switched to Sprint because my employer gave a discount for using Sprint as a plan. Since getting Sprint I have no service in my home. I drop calls constantly and roam within the Sprint PCS network. I have called customer service every month since obtaining the plan to have the roaming charges removed from my bill. I am told that I am to switch to Sprint coverage only which I have done, and which didn't change my service or my problem. I have received little assistance with customer service and have been told that they will charge me an early termination fee regardless of the fact that I have been calling with the same problem every month since day one. So buyer beware Sprint coverage and service really isn't worth getting.
