My phone works perfectly in Ames, Des Moines, Waterloo, and Fort Dodge (Where I work), but at home I get no signal what so ever. The only place in Greene County (I live in this county) I can get a signal is about two miles north of the Greene / Guthrie county line on HWY 4. When I go home to Churdan it cuts out midway between HWY's 175 and 20 on County Rd.P29. In Carroll it THINKS about working. It doesn't say "No Network" but it thinks about it (as if it is going into a towered area). But also my phone doesn't work in Storm Lake at all don't even ask.

when phone / plan purchased specifically asked if Decorah and Ossian, Iowa were in coverage area. A family emergency confirmed they are not. Thankfully, was able to use daughter's T-Mobile to contact family. Contacted Spirit got no valid answer and was told we could terminate plan for $300.

Used to get poor reception with my old Nokia phone, but got a new Motorola, now nothing at all. I have to go to the top of the hill to get just poor now.
