1 Out of 5 (1 star) | University If Texas, Austin, TX 78712 |

I was under the impression, that when I bought my iPhone 5 I could occasionally use it. I now have a very expensive paper weight and a means of raising my blood pressure instantly. The service is worse than I've experienced with any other carrier ever, and I will be switching soon. I honestly don't see how Sprint is even a major phone company with this kind of coverage. I'd say 1 / 5 calls go through, and those aren't always audible. Seriously seriously disappointed.

I have been experiencing dropped calls and trouble sending text messages. It seems no matter where I am in Austin I am almost always roaming. Thank goodness for wifi! Otherwise I would get absolutely no use from my iphone5! I am paying for LTE, why isn't it ever available???

I have T-Mobile and the service is unreliable! I have iPhone 5s I looked on T-Mobile and it says on T-Mobile website I have 4G LTE where I live but only get E coverage and it shows 4G but it goes back and forward to 4G one bar to E coverage eventually! I have few drop calls :(

1 Out of 5 (1 star) | Interstate 35 | Cabelas Dr., Buda, TX 78610 |

When I moved here 4 months ago, the service was fine. Working from home, I need my phone to work -- not have to drive 5 miles to find service, or worse: miss calls that never even make it to my phone, because customers don't leave a msg. (In this day and age, everyone expects that a cell phone will register the incoming call with caller ID, so most do not leave a msg.) I've lost $$ and credibility with potential employers and clients due to horrendous service, for the past month. I frustrated family around Thanksgiving, because no one could get in touch with me to make arrangements. Every week, AT&T just tells me that "it SHOULD be fixed by next week." It's been 4 weeks. What a nightmare. Tomorrow is the day that it's supposed to be fixed (another week). If not, I am switching to another company. Enough is enough.

We moved to Kyle from Corpus Christi this last summer to only discover that Sprint service is really poor here. Checking out the towers on Internet and there aren't very many towers along 35 going into Austin from Kyle. You would think that the cellular companies would do something about it. These areas are growing, you would think that the cellular service would try and keep up with the demand. Been with Sprint for 13 years, I guess it's time to move on.

very bad reception in this area texts won't go through most of the time, dropped calls, data plan unusable. I wish I checked the phone reception before moving in this area. Now I waste time everyday because I have to resend texts multiple times before they go though. It's really frustrating. It seems to be all operators as my friends with other operators have similar troubles

Sprint LTE on iPhone 5. Download speed with full bars of reception has dropped 95% since May. Phone data plan is now mostly unusable. Sections of downtown require turning off LTE to transfer any data. This is not what I paid for. AT&T 3G on iPhone 3s was faster two years ago.

4 Out of 5 (4 stars) | Shoalwood Ave. | 49th St. , Austin, TX 78756 |

Note: This review is for AIO, which apparently is owned by AT&T. Service is excellent, both for calls and data. However, there is NO tethering plan, so data must be used ONLY with the cell phone. I've tried virtually all the other carriers in Austin - Sprint, Verizon, and TMobile. They are all a joke. However, the moment someone introduces a decent service with tethering I will be gone from AIO.

cell service good downtown and decent at my house in cedar park. I ride the metrorail every day and service simply doesn't exist in much of east Austin and west of I-35 until I get north of crestview station / n Lamar. service is really solid at Kramer and Howard stations and spotty at lake line. are other folks experiencing no service in east Austin?
