Sprint

I have had AT&T as well as T-Mobile and they don't work that well in Derby. I have switched to Sprint and couldn't be happier. I typically get a full signal everywhere I go. The nice thing about Sprint is I can truly take it almost everywhere and not have to worry about a signal.

Horrible reception at Central and Hillside and at my home near 53rd St. North and Seneca. Complained for three days in a row at the North Rock Alltel and they called the police on thew third time. No action was taken by police but they said if I came back to complain that they would issue a no trespassing order. All I wanted to do was drop my contract after having the phone for only six weeks. They said it would cost me $400.00 to do it. Not concerened that I was not getting reception at home and at work. Horrible company.

Absolutely the worst service I have ever seen. It is not the phone model either since we have had several different phones with them. Pretty poor service to begin with but in the last few years the phone has utterly become worthless. Can barely use it to make a call from outside the house and even when a call goes through and doesn't drop you only hear about 1 word out of 3. The other thing that mystifies me about all carriers is nobody promotes a phone that is a power house just as a phone. I would give up every feature that I never use just to get a phone that has good voice quality and good reception.

no problem here; works great, as does my wireless net access.

May be temporary. Until three days ago (and for a good year back, which is when I started using them) they've been rock solid - never anything but full reception. Last three days it's been nearly dead calm - once in a great while I get a single bar and might be able to blast through a few bytes, but otherwise dead. Hopefully a temp problem.

I have been using T-Mobile for about 7 years now. I've always had great reception and no dropped calls while in the city. I don't travel outside of town too much, but the few times I have, as long as I had some reception, I could maintain a connection.

I've been with Verizon about six years and have good coverage most everywhere I go in the country

As far as I'm concerned, Cingular / AT&T is useless here. I want to throw my phone at the TV when I see them talking about "No dropped calls" and such like that... there are too many times when I go literally three HOURS without a signal. Drops off at will, in the middle of a phone call, or not. Completely worthless in Wichita. WTF man?

Perfect service here. Calls, messaging and web. No complaints. Never fewer than 4 bars.

Never used anything but verizon. 0 dropped calls from Wichita to Colorado Springs. My only complaint is rural areas with analog networks don't permit texting, but I've yet to find a dead zone as far as calls are concerned.
