I miss about 1 out of every 3 phone calls. The calls go straight to voicemail because the service is so bad. I'll have full bars until someone calls me or I am trying to dial out. Then it suddenly drops to zero bars. Sptint is just terrible. I have also called support several times, and there is absolutely no way to get out of the contract without paying the fee, even if the service doesn't work on your phone.

I just moved to the Dallas area from Seattle, WA (Sept 13). I am on a Verizon contract. I have found the cell coverage with Verizon in Dallas to be frustrating. I now know why so many folks walk outside to make phone calls! I cannot get any reception inside my house (Highland Park) and minimal at my office (Irving). I cannot send text messages from my office. I did find strong Verizon signals in zip code 75093. Will need to find an alternative since I can't run the business with spotty cell service... .

Network traffic is so bad that calls do not ring through to the phone. I only know that I have missed a call when my voice mail notification goes off. Called 5 times because a credit for overcharging was not being issued. Five clerks told me they were processing it and then it was never done so I think upper management was overriding them. I paid early termination fee to get out of contract. My monthly bill was $113 for unlimited talk text and data. Went with Straight Talk (AT&T) and pay $45 per month.

Because there are practically no towers for Verizon in Dallas, I miss two days to two weeks of conversations with people because my cell phone won't pick the messages up. I've missed multiple meetings and dates - too many to count. Verizon needs to get its act together and fix it.

AT&T has blamed my terrible cell reception on everything from towers being updated to my second story roof having a foil backing. We bought a AT&T micro cell tower in hopes of improving the reception to no avail. You might think with AT&T's headquarters here, their reception would be great. Thinking of switching to Verizon.

So when I am on a call, the call gets drop and the T-Mobile phone shows "Searching". This is bad new T-Mobile. I do not know why T-Mobile is working so well in Europe but so bad over here!I wish I can find a better service

Moved to Dallas from the West Coast with my T-Mobile phone. I had great reception on the West Coast, but down here, not so much. Killer for me is that I have absolutely 0 reception where I work in Downtown Dallas, and almost no reception at home, just 20 miles north of the city. WiFi calling should be sufficient to fill in these gaps, but my call quality seems to be highly unstable using this feature.

Just switched from AT&T to T-Mobile yesterday and T-Mobile has lied. There is not good coverage in my area. I stay at between 1 bar and 2 bars in my home. If I walk outside the most bars I get are 3. I signed up for the $70 dollar unlimited talk, text and data. Yet many times the website time out because even the edge service drops off. Right now I'm looking at my device (Iphone 4) and I have only one bar. Good grief. I should have stayed at AT&T. Also be forewarned, T-Mobile has equally crappy customer service. Long waits, customer support agents that don't know anything, tell you to hold one moment and then cold transfers you, many against outside of the U.S. whose background noises include children crying and people laughing and yelling as if their home office is right in the middle of their living room, etc. Terrible. I'm requesting my money back in the morning.

My wife just got on Verizon yesterday. Generally getting 1-3 bars in the house, but she's experiencing poor call quality and garbled conversations. Where as I have ATT and a FULL signal all the time and excellent call quality, no garbled voices EVER. Weird. I assumed Verizon would be as good as ATT. Not at all. Not here at least. Buyer beware!

Terrible call quality throughout downtown Dallas and also Mesquite (even with four bars). Routinely will not connect on outgoing calls (with four bars). Will ring endlessly or get a message saying the contact is unavailable. I will immediately use a landline and connect instantly with the contact. The data (3G) is extremely slow and texts are routinely received late (45 minutes or more after the text is sent) or not at all by the contacts. I never experienced these problems with Verizon which I used in the same areas. I was not happy with Verizon's pricing structure but I may have to go back.

I have been with you all for years and there has not been any modification of the cell phone reception in this area. The reception is really bad even outside some times. I recently looked thought about purchasing the iPhone 5, but after looking at the cell phone reception area, it would not improve phone calls. There are no new towers in the ares. I have called in and used mark the spot for a while and there is no improvement in the cell reception. Would you let me know if you are going to install any new towers in the area or not so I can switch providers. I hate to do so, but my wife has paralysis and we need better reception as we have to cut back with only one income now. My name is James Boyd (cell #'s 214-502-7764 and 214-796-0896)

I have had Sprint service since 2000 and have lived in the Lower Greenville / M-Streets area since 2005. I have no service in my home, in my yard or anywhere in my neighborhood. As soon as I drive away my phone starts dinging with voicemails when I've received NO calls and SOMETIMES my text messages will be held. Otherwise, they're lost in outer space... .which I'm sure has better reception than my neighborhood!

I am using a DroidX from Verizon which I recently got from work. My signal strength is 3 - 4 bars from my residence. I haven't noticed any problems with dropped calls and garbled conversations. I also have an older Blackberry 8310 as my personal phone with ATT as my service provider. From my residence my signal strength varies from 2 - 3 bars and sometimes less. I get garbled connections all the time and then I have to call them back on my landline. I am considering changing my personal service from ATT to Verizon and hope this will correct my problem with poor signal strength from my residence.

T-Mobile cellphone service goes from SOS to 0 to 3 bars and data goes from SOS to edge to EDGE to 4G coverage changes throughout the day. Many calls drop or we get message “Calling” to “! Call FAILED please try again” without connecting. T-Mobile is a very bad choice in Dallas, Tx. They hook you with low rate then charge you a $200 per line fee when you cancel the agreement because you moved or changed work locations and are in a new location that does not get coverage. They will offer you the option of finding someone to take over the agreement via Change of Responsibility, but what kind of friend would you be dumping your crappy T-Mobile service off on a friend or family member that is if you have any friends left since you will lose touch with them because they can never reach you. This practice of not letting the customer out, because the cell service provider can't service the client is only used by T-Mobile and give the major holes in coverage, is a major part of their revenue strategy. T-Mobile will cost you more in the long run. Don’t do it! Like many other ex-clients you will find yourself at the court house filing in small claims court to recoup the $200 per line on the grounds that they made material changes to your agreement(by changing the fee structure)before you made material changes (by canceling). Just choose Verizon or AT&T but NOT T-Mobile.

Opened a poor data speeds ticket with T-Mobile and it got escalated to their network team. A month later, and I had to call to get an update on the ticket. They closed the ticket with o contacting me stating that it was a "coverage issue". They will not agree they have a coverage problem in my primary area, which I guess they have been trained to do. But, doesn't coverage problem = coverage issue? I'm switching to Verizon.
