before Cingular went to the gsm system we had some coverage... .. none for miles after gsm went into effect... . we live near the Emmaus home on hwy D and Sprint is putting up a tower on the emmaus home property... . will other carriers use it, I don't know... . AT&T totaly ignores blackout areas and no way to find out about future towers...

I live on a hill, but as soon as you turn on my road, absolutely no reception. 0 bars through my entire house. What a waste. The first time I had this service and these exact phones a couple years ago it was awesome, now I am stuck in a contract and have to call everyone back with my home phone after they call me for another year. Blah!

Really bad. floats in and out. ATT took over and it got worse. Problem is nothing works out here.

There is absolutely NO reception here. You have to wait until you're by La-Z-Boy before you can get any service decent enough to make a phone call.

Telephone life was easier in Green Acres. At least the phone on the pole always had reception!

Get reception at front gate for maybe 30 seconds then line drops. No receiption between County roads 171 and 173.

I know of 2 or 3 spots,all on private property, where I can get a bar or 2.

Sprint not only has many areas north of the river in Kansas City that lack coverage but it's customer service is pitiful (see below). Don't even think about using the phone inside your home. You will lose the call within a minute of connection. Other problems are that most of the time when someone calls you, the phone will never ring and the call will show that it was "missed". Voicemails will be mysteriously "dropped" for no apparent reason so you will miss important calls. In addition, don't count on using the website to look at your bill. Half of the time the website doesn't work or is so slow your browser will lose the connection (this is on a high speed broadband connection, by the way). To top it off, they frequently screw up and / or just render your username and password useless on line so if you are "paperless" you may not see your bill for over a week at a time. The website will direct you to call a number at which customer service will cut you off and not be able to help you restore your username or password anyway. If you cave and decide you HAVE to have Sprint, then whatever you do, don't go paperless. Demand that they send your bill every month. Also check the bill very closely because there are often calls you are charged for that you have not made.

Sprint works only in Kansas City. I will not renew my contract with them once it expires. What cell service will work northeast of kansas City?

I was with us cellular and was upset that I would drop calls in new berlin, Now I am with AT&T and I drop every single call I make no matter where I am at and I live two blocks from one of there towers, Iphone is awesome AT&T not so much.
