T-Mobile
T-Mobile's service in the area has been disintegrating since I first got my cell in 2004. 3G never engages, EDGE if I'm lucky. No reception half of the time. 3 bars is a miracle. I got the phone to tether to my PC, but I never break the 20kb / s mark. I have a better chance piggy-backing off of my neighbor two doors down's wifi than with this phone. I've spent countless hours on the phone with customer service, including 2 phone replacements. It clearly is not the individual phone.

Usually outside of buildings I get good reception, but inside most apartments, including my own, I have 1 bar and that gives me maybe 5 minutes before it drops my call.

I'm at 1-2 bars indoors about 363 days a year, the other two days, I hover between 2-3 bars. I sure wish AT&T would add a tower on the Plaza. Its ridiculous coverage in this area. I was considering T-Mobile (HTC-HD7 coming out), but none of the other carriers seem to be any better?

Cricket have cheap phones but cheap service no contract the only thing I would recommend is get a phone from Sprint or Verizon and flash it to cricket so you wouldnt have a cheap phone but cheap service plans starting $35 that is the only way to get good reception

The phone doesn't work at all in the house and it's very spotty when standing in the yard. It drops on the Lexington bridge and at Brooklyn and Indep. Avenue. T-Mobile gave me a new sim card and said that would fix it... it did not.

Exhausts my phone looking for service ending up with a dead battery within 5 hours. RIDICULOUS.

Where do I start? Constant dropped calls and Sprint's response is that it's my phone. Took the phone to their service center and they tell me it's the service. Doesn't really matter where I am in the city, calls dropped all over. Isn't it ironic that their headquartered here and the service is so horrible? Calls constantly don't come in until I hit a "good" area and suddenly I'll have multiple voicemails show up. Customer service is nonexistent since they just give you the runaround. LAME!

I can get five bars, but cannot connect to 1XEV, can only connect to 1X with slow internet speeds.

I don't know what others are talking about, they must have broken antennas or something. I travel up and down I-35 I-29 Hwy. 9 In Briercliff north of the river Gladstone, all over the Metro, without a problem. I even have a crappy phone, If one would turn down the music in their car, maybe they could here that their phone wasen't dead afterall. I have had people tell me at Sprint is bad. I have family members that don't like Sprint, but they keep re-newing their contract every 2 years... what does that tell you.

We often have no bars, sometimes one. Constant dropping of calls and hiccups. We will be changing companies.
