Sprint
Get dropped calls all the time in my house and not made of concrete. Even if I sit by my living room windows, still get dropped calls or I can't even make calls if I am in my house. Have to go outside to talk. Called Sprint and they said a tower is down with no eta for repairs. I have been hearing this for the past 2 yrs now. Now it's contract renewal time and I am still told the same issues. Goodbye Sprint and hello T-Mobile.

Reception is a continual struggle. Very poor reception in the house and often poor reception outside. Right now getting 0-2 bars and I cannot make or receive calls in my own kitchen next to the window!

Little to no reception in my bungalow in Riverwest; my iPhone will alert me to calls after a voicemail has been left. Soooo frustrating! I may have to buy the $250 in-home booster that Verizon sells. BTW, this area of Milwaukee also disables my car remote entry fob. It's all of the radio towers up along Capitol that messes up the signals.

We started with AT&T when the iPhone came out -- and it just gets worse and worse. Dropped calls ALL the time -- which they tried to blame on Apple. AT&T is NOT a good carrier for Milwaukee... or really anywhere. So frustrating!

This has been going on for 2 years and I am so tired of it. it will be addressed... . or we are adding new towers every day. well I invite Verizon to put a booster in my yard because I have 4 phones and the signal sucks at times. so bad I can't even make a call. right now I hardly have a signal. 200.00 bucks a month with you and bad signal almost always. if I stand on one foot while leaning on my mail box its better.i am just so frustrateted. and were I work which is very close to the freeway it is also bad.

No towers close enough. Had to add an IP booster in the home for cells to work properly.

Have had Verizon for years in other parts of Milwaukee with happy results. Moved to Riverwest this month and can only get a signal once in a while.

Excellent service everywhere. Buy a phone(UPrepaid), take it home, CHECK SIGNAL STRENGTH and then pay for the service. I had Virgin (1-2 out of 5 bars)Uses Sprint towers Boost(1-2 out of 5 bars)uses Sprint Towers I had Verizon from 1998-2007 has 3-4 out of 5 bars but clarity was not good. I still have the phones and checked signal strength today. I had a USCell contract from 2007-2009.The overage charges were the final straw. Then switched to prepaid. I now have UPrepaid (4of 5 bars everywhere!)from Walmart is a reseller of USCellular The flip phone is crystal clear. $30 for 1,000 min. $40 unlimited talk text and too much internet for a flip phone. $50 android unlimited But, limited phone options so far.The service started this summer.

Verizon coverage is excellent in this area. I get 5 / 5 bars in my house, and even 4 bars in the basement. Data is strong and consistent. I have not had a dropped call or quality issues in the area.

Nice phone, horrible service, deceptive sales staff regarding actual coverage. They promised me national service on Verizon towers, and I required that kind of coverage as an over-the-road trucker. When at home the service was okay, consistently 1-2 bars of signal. There were a lot of calls that ended up garbled or with a really bad feedback echo. I would be forced to use the speakerphone function or Bluetooth headset and set the phone down, since the weak signal required the phone remain stationary, and I liked to pace when on the phone (old habit). When it was time to go to work, however, I discovered a serious problem with their service. It seems that US Cellular is NOT the national carrier they claimed to be, they would later admit they are a regional carrier operating primarily in the upper midwest, and they sell excess bandwidth for Verizon. As a result, when they do an over-the-air update, you must be in your home area to get the update. On two such updates, I wasn't home, I was at work, so I din't get the updates. As a result, on both occasions my phone could only make calls through Verizon, who I had to provide a credit card number to in order to make very short, and very expensive but necessary phone calls. I ended up going 38 days out of the first 45 days I had the phones without actual service, costing me hundreds of dollars. I asked to be able to return the phones and to get my money back that I paid for the devices, and to have my contract cancelled. Their response to the request was to put me into collections once they received the phones back. Like I said, nice phones, but this company qualifies as the worst I had ever done business with.
