Updating my rant from my last year's post. Cingular service has gotten much better over the year I've had my phone. I work in Carroll now but the coverage map categorizes Carroll under "partner" service, meaning Cingular has contracts with other cellphone companies, iWireless T-Mobile being the case here, to use service. I was told my Cingular that if I don't use more than 60% of THEIR antennas I will lose my service. Now I like Cingular a lot. When I lived in Fort Dodge it worked perfectly. Thankfully I visit Ames, Fort Dodge, and Des Moines enough to keep it above 60%. Plus they were on me about living in a town without Cingular Service (I get service two, yes TWO, miles south outside Churdan, but it's under iWireless' towers). I like having MySpace Mobile and Rollover Minutes... ..If Cingular reads this, stick some towers up along HWY 4 in Greene County, allright?

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.

terrible service, if any. have a booster. not helping now. love our phones outside of this area. used to be able to set phones to roaming only. phones don't allow that anymore so we can't call from home... ever.

Visiting from Chicago and unable to use my HTC tablet due to total lack of Sprint service. Fortunately my cell phone uses AT&T so I'm able to access the internet that way. Quite frustrating, though, especially when trying to navigate in unfamiliar areas without a map due to no internet service thanks to Sprint. If I didn't love my tablet so much, I'd cancel Sprint!
