Coverage Reviews for Tulsa, OK 74137

Rating | Carrier | Zip Code

Verizon

My biggest issue with Verizon is not connectivity, it is the cost of their internet. Seems we should be able to get both: good phone service and reasonably priced data!

AT&T

We have been with AT&T for many years, started when it was still Cingular. New have always been happy with our service until recently. We rarely had dropped calls unless we were in an area to drop calls for all carriers and at time would still get reception. In the last 6 months I have noticed that dropped calls have been on the increase and in the last two months, every call I receive or make will drop within 10-15 mins and should it be a long call, it will drop many times. I am currently looking at other plans because the price we are paying, with a discount brought the company he works for, is ridiculous. Almost $300 for 2 smart phones, a basic phone, a wifi hotspot plan is ridiculous. We are planning to down grade to basic phone with unlimited texting payday and buy out the contract for the hotspot, so in the meantime I am looking around at different plans to compare. I don't like the though of leaving AT&T, but at this point we do have to cut he billmtumendously.

T-Mobile

Attend church at 119th and Memorial. I get zero reception at this location. Occasional texts come through, but impossible to use the internet, Facebook, or make a voice call. Other members of the church with AT&T have no problems, full bars.

AT&T

i have called and complained to AT&T no no end. still no service at home. Looking for another provider who will cover this area.

T-Mobile

T-Mobile 4g downtown is VERY spotty. Where I do get 4g, I get excellent 17mbps+ download speeds. 1 / 3 of the way up the BOk Tower? nada.

T-Mobile

I have 5 bars of Edge coverage only. It would be nice if T-Mobile would turn on the LTE network.

Sprint

Get 0 to 1 bar intermittently. 3G signal almost nil. Can not USB tether. 4G non-existent.

Sprint

Sprint has had major issues with 3G speeds in the past but service has vastly improved, I now get 1000kbps+ speeds almost everywhere in Tulsa. In terms of coverage, Sprint is probably number 3 with AT&T and US Cellular ahead of them. However, Sprint roams onto US Cellular for free anyway so I get great rural coverage which isn't to say I roam all the time. Sprint has coverage along the major highways which include small towns I frequent. The value is unbeatable. 5 smart phones with unlimited texts, cell to cell calls, and most importantly DATA for only $260 a month.

T-Mobile

I have been with T-Mobile for 15 years and just have never had a problem in Tulsa.

Sprint

We switched from ATT to Sprint in April of 2011. The main reason was for the unlimited data plan since my wife and I decided to go to smart phones. To be fair, the closest tower to our neighborhood is a T-Mobile tower so we never had decent reception at home even with ATT and now US Cellular. However the 3G data speeds for Sprint are absolutely terrible! I get a full 5 bars at work in BA and 54kbs music streams buffer constantly and forget about pulling up You Tube. My ATT friends with iphones did not have the buffering issues. My sister-in-law who is on our plan and lives near 91st and 129th in BA could not make calls from her house at all. After all the good feedback from friends we switched to U.S. Cellular a couple of weeks ago. For one they are supposed to have true 4G LTE in Tulsa by end of 2012. So far so good on the 3G compared to Sprint. I will post a review for US Cellular in few months after use.

Sprint

Lots of dropped calls. Got booster in mail today and it does not work. Coverage map is less than honest. Sprint said I qualify for a booster (read they know the service is lousy at my location) and tried to charge me for it! Got one for free... But so far it does not work. this is not helpful. My other phone is with AT&T, whom I hate, but it works.

Sprint

Sprint says that the HTC EVO 4g is fast when it really isn't I can't watch any videos cause it freezes everytime I'm an internet person I like to stream the internet but the reception is way to slow my mom has an HTC EVO 4g 3d and her phone won't play any videos through at all as of right now were becoming unsatisfied custmers Sprint better do something about there towers and soon or else I'm giving up on Sprint and going to Verizon wireless I really like Sprint but there speeds were suppose to have is really slow please help fix this problem

Sprint

Drop calls 5x's today. Data has been horrible slow for the past month or more. Looking to switch plans after 9 yrs w Sprint

Sprint

SHyt reception. I switched from having cricket for around 12yrs and wished I hadnt. My 3g network at its best with Sprint is 122Kbps down stream and only.11Kbps upstream. slower than a dial-up connectin. Switching back to cricets service in the morning. Least with them Ill have a 3g network that actually works. BTW Sprint only has 2 towers in tulsa. Just call in and ask a rep

Sprint

I have been a Spring customer for over three years now. First, I was lied to by my Sprint Sales Rep. I was sold a Blackberry that I was told could be tethered at no additional charge to my laptop when needed. 1 month later, Sprint BLOCKED this from being able to happen. Also, the Sprint Rep told me 4G would be in Tulsa by the end of summer three summers ago. This is why I signed up with Sprint. Another LIE! Now for the biggest joke... I have numerous dropped call issues. I have had three replacement phones in 9 months. I payed for all of them. Sprint blames their poor service here in the Tulsa area on the phone. So, after replacing three in less than a year I'm done with Sprint. I dropped three calls to Sprint Customer Support 9 days ago. 1 at 12 minutes, another at 10 minutes and the third at 45 seconds. funny thing, Sprint claims I only dropped 2 calls for the entire month. I average at least 8-10 drops per day. I'm in business for myself and quality service, coverage is important. I called requesting a refund of some of my payment due to all the issues and they offered me $100 back. I then find when calling back in to see why it wasn't applied they tell me it will be in Sept 5th and it will renew my contract, which I'm out of. So, they automatically re-contract their customers that have poor service without their permission. Talk about Cheating the public. This has been an on going poor service issue since September of 2011 and Sprint will DENY it till the end. They use a computer that gives them data that is obviously not accurate. I'm not saying this for kicks. I'm saying this because the coverage here in the Tulsa area SUCKS that bad. I had a Cricket phone that gave me less drop call issues 5 years ago than this. knowing what I know now about this service I'd never contract with them again. You get what you pay for and a prepaid phone gives you better coverage than you get with them. The dropped calls are non stop. they happen everywhere. all over BA, Jenks, Tulsa, Bixby. It does not matter. Even at the Sprint store. Heck, half the time at 71st and 145 where the Sprint store is located you cannot get a reception or make a call. That's pretty pathetic. You go to ZERO bars at 61st and 145th which is right in town in Broken Arrow. Go down by the Bass Pro Shops and try using a Sprint phone! Good luck...

Sprint

go to make a phone call and it drops the call, try to call out again rings and then hangs up, people try to call back and cannot get through, we have 2 lines in the hosue and both do the same thing.

Sprint

dropped calls are becoming the norm. takes 4 or 5 tries just to call the wife on her HTC EVO 4 g. I believe there is ano issue in the Tulsa area. but Sprint says no. they are letting me out of my contract because they can n ot fix the issue. it was not like this 12 months ago. what has changed?

Sprint

Been Sprint customer here since 1990. Always had great service and reception, all areas and even in underground parking and elevators downtown. Traveled cross country many times and no complaints. Got blackberrys in 2000 and 2005 and while still got good reception - it wasn't as good as on my old "candy bar" phone. Got Samsung S2 galaxy 4g epic touch 4 months ago and the service is horrible! (who thinks up these phone names, anyway?) Of course, there is no 4g in this part of the country, but the 3g is awful and getting worse. Wifi is just as useless. I was happy with Sprint, but all things must end. Is there any decent phone service in middle America?

Sprint

I've been with Sprint for 15 years. In the past several weeks their network quality has degraded tremendously. I now have dropped calls all the time and very slow data speeds. Someone that works for Sprint told me that they have not renewed their lease with many of the local towers that they were using for service in Oklahoma for the past several years, and so network quality has become a problem for alot of people. They have no plans or desire to fix anything. Goodby Sprint.

Sprint

Have had Sprint for several years with great service but for the past several months I have had very limited signal strength and numerous dropped calls. Will be looking for another carrier if I don't see improvement soon.

Verizon

NO DATA, if ATnT phones didn't suck, I wouldn't hesitate to switch back. Okay, I hesitated, now I"m switching back...

Sprint

Been on Sprint since 2000. ALways had good deal. Carried my phone all over the country, golfing in Mertle Beach and Gulf Shores. Always had service. No complaints really. Sprint Customer service has been really really bad but its improved since 2008. My daughters in WinchesterOK - and is having trouble with dropped calls. We are considering putting up a small repeater.

AT&T

I can't talk on my phone from my house anymore even outside. I use to be able to, but now it is in and out and drops calls every time I talk on it.

US Cellular

Us Celluar is really the best I have had others..I get dropped calls and no service From any place except US.Celluar..Even if they don"t have a tower I can still call from Texas to Tulsa,and from Tulsa to Texas.. Love US.Celluar when I move to Texas I will keep US.Celluar... Hopefully US Celluar will get a Tower in Galveston Texas! Never have I had dropped calls.

AT&T

Our family has 5 phones (different manufacturers and models). We were with Cingular and really liked it. When switched to ATT, we initially had many problems. Now, service seems above average throughout the Tulsa metro area.

T-Mobile

I work at Saint Francis and live at 101 / Yale and my coverage is horrible. I can count on one hand the number of full conversations I've had IN my house and I've been here for 7 years... all with TMobile. I can map out the places on my ride home from work where I'll drop a call. And as soon as I enter my subdivision, Camelot Park, I have spotty service at best. As soon as my contract is up in January I'm switching!

US Cellular

I've been with U.S. Cellular for ten years and have moved in and around Tulsa and it has been years since I've had a dropped call. Amazing service!

US Cellular

For 6 years this has never worked at home without going outside to make or receive a call. Good plan price, poor service.

Verizon

I switched my family to Verizon yesterday. We love the service! We even get 3G here. I have some friends who are about to switch too.

Verizon

I travle a lot and my phone is always roaming. Tulsa has some good spots for US Cellular, but I get a lot of droped calls. The business I work for is about to switch to Verizon Wireless. I am testing out the BlackBerry Tour and its so much better then my Curve on US Cellular. Everywhere I have been in the US I get 3G service. Verizons 3G data TV ad caught our eye.
