Son has same phone I have and while in the Ft Sam area he is dropped everytime we talk, in a 30 min conversation we are dropped at least 10-15 times.

Great Sprint service here. I've had no problems traveling throughout San Antonio and the I-35 corridor. Phone worked great through I-10 corridor toward Houston. Sprint works wonderfully in metro areas.

Went from a Cingular bag phone (3 watts of magnificent analog power!) and two Verizon phones to a Cingular family plan. It took three visits to make the change. The bill looks like three separate single accounts instead of one family plan. The GSM (I assume) is a buttload of echo and / or delay, and enough distortion so that I have to ask who is calling when my VSOP rings up. The phone has no good shortcuts and you have to follow a long menu trail to do the most common and trivial things - do the programmers actually USE these things before inflicting them on the paying public? Could be a great phone, but jeeez, is outsourcing to the lowest bidder always the best option??

I have used a 1900 frequence phone since June,2005 without any problems, but now it drop calls or no reception at all inside the buildings. It happened on June 2006. I though my phone had a problems, so I used difference 1900 frequence phones to test it. No luck at all. So I used 850 frequence phone, it has full reception. I can conclude that Cingular will only support 850 frequence mostly. The 1900 frequence will only work outside area such as Hwy. area. If you have 1900 frequence phone, don't use Cingular service otherwise you will be regret. Trust me!

I've been a Sprint customer for several years now (personal and work). Over that time I've used an old basic Nokia candy bar, the original Motorola clam, a Samsung A460, and currently a Samsung A620. I live in New Braunfels, work at Lackland AFB, and travel across the US for business, and regardless of where I am or which phone I've used, SPRINT SUCKS! With up to 3 lines on contract at any given time, I expected more. The contract ends shortly and so will our relationship! I'd rather return to smoke signals than to endure the endless dropped calls, spotty service, or horrible roaming coverage any more.

Residential area, often get dropped words during conversations, although 2-3 bars on the signal strength.

We have never had a dropped call on our Cingular phone. Not one. bars have been fairly high, however we never need to check because we always connect. We originally had Southwestern Bell Wireless, then were forced to the Cingular, and we have had great sucess. Now that Cingular is owned by a local company, there should be some testing of new services in the area too.

Sidekick II with T-Mobile worked fine, no dropped calls. Sidekick equipment failed after 1 1 / 2 yr then I got the new t mobile SDA, horrible reception on this phone. By the way, I should mention that the keys of the SDA are tiny and navigation, messaging, and email is horrible because of these keys. As far as features... it has it all, bluetooth, EDGE, wifi, very powerful little phone, horrible keypad! Doesn't matter anyway, it is going back to T-Mobile as I am in my two week period. BTW, never sign a two year contract, it is a trap!

I'm very disappointed with Sprint service. Frequently dropping calls. Mostly during Sprint to Sprint calling.

Connection up and down Broadway is fine, but I live in an old brick house and reception indoors is pathetic. Almost guaranteed that a call over 5mins will drop. I also get the digital skips during any conversation, regardless of signal, so that I have to ask people to repeat themselves often. Cingular's customer service reps have been friendly but reception quality in my house and the skipping problem make me ready to try something else.
