Sprint

Every day on my drive home I pass this intersection on top of a small hill. The reception gets really choppy and at least one call out of three is dropped. Always in the same place. Sprint claims their dropped calls have decreased from 3% to 1%. I question that. I don't complain about my dropped calls because it's more trouble than it's worth and I never get any action. The last time I tried to call them to complain from home I had to use my land line because their area I live in is so poor the operator was unable to understand me. Golly. Every so often I look at their map of coverage to see if my problem area is listed for upgrades. Nope. Sprint ain't all it could be.

actually I have several bars but I'm always dropping calls and when you look at the Ant. meter it shows good reception..Get away from the house and the phone does well but not in the house...

I am on the top floor of an apartment and have to stand on my balcony to get clear reception. Occasionally I'll see full signal but it disappears as soon as it shows up. At least I avoided the $400 iPhone temptation and went with the free Nokia. I'll eventually have to get a land / cable line if service doesn't improve. That's cheaper than falling on the sword and switching carriers.

No problems to speak of. Reception is good and very few dropped calls. Once in a while will receive a voice message from a call that never rang but that is few and far between, Overall, Verizon has been providing good service.

Have pretty much no problem with Sprint / Nextel Reception in my area. Although When I travel to work up Providence Rd the reception is terrible the closer I get to uptown.

Our phones (2 nokias, 1 samsung) sometimes don't even ring here - we have from 0 to 1 blip / bar reception - and that is standing outside! AT and T says there are no towers at all near here. I think The Charlotte Country Club needs to give up some land for one of those "pine tree" towers...

Only areas with trouble are in 200 and 300 blocks of Hempstead Place, where there is virtually no coverage, and in Foxcroft Rd.area of Foxcroft. Otherwise, nearly always 5 bars. Also great everywhere in NC except mountains, where it is a brick.

Barely any signal in the area. I live off of Providence Rd.West and drop calls from my home nearly every day.

No reception inside house. Can only catch every third word of a caller while standing in the driveway.

Sprint has very poor in house reception with Sanyo and LG Phones (low end phones)
