I have had problems at home since I switched to Verizon last year. Reception breaks up constantly - have to repeat myself and callers need to do same. Verizon had me reprogram phone several times but did not help. Now working out of home most of the time so this is a real problem. Verizon sucks in this entire neighorhood. Finally, after much work, Verison confirmed that this area has a known service and reception problem - why don't they tell you that up front! - and that they have a new tower scheduled to go in at 17th and Logan but said it could be 6 months to 2 years! NOTE: they have agreed to let me out of my contract because of this! FURTHER NOTE: With the new EV phones, the bars for reception are USELESS unless you have two sets of bars, one for voice and for EV. My understanding is only a few phones have the dual bars - since most of the SOBs just put one set on the phone you don't know what kind of reception you're getting for voice - the bars are useless.

Drops almost every call inside the apartment. Sometimes I can stand in the doorway to the bathroom and talk for ten minutes. Bars indicate decent reception, but the call gets dropped without notice.

No Service. Cannot complete any calls EVER... DROPS EVERY CALL. Both phones usually show full bars, but often drop to 0. Won't work even out on balcony, leaning over edge. Poor, but usually usable reception standing on Acoma St. / Fair around city. / Spotty around the country. Often drop calls while showing lots of signal. Is this a bandwidth issue?

I get limited very limited, if any reception at all, in this location. Usually I have to leave the hospital to use my cell phone.

I have had a Sprint phone almost 1 yr. everything was going good till I moved to Arvada area 80004. I am unable to use my phone inside my house, I have to go outside to the sidewalk or to the street to even get 3 bars, Or I have to drive 8 blocks away to get full bars, I have had an up grade and My phone still dose not work at my house. My girl friend has a Cricket phone and she gets full service inside my house, ( and Cricket, I classafie as a fly by night company compared to Sprint, so why dose she get full service? And it cost less too). My office is in my house so having to go to the sidewalk to make a phone call dose not work for me because my desk is inside the house, where I don't get coverage, and there telling me that a hill or a tree could be blocking my coverage area (what a JOKE) I will never recomened Sprint to anyone. I have made several phone calls to Sprint to tell them about this problem and they always tranpher me to Tec. support, but have the time they transpher me I loose the call. There service in this area is so poor it's a joke

I've had a Treo 650 since last Novemeber, 2005 and feel it is the absolutely the worst! Excessive dropped calls, signal can vary in one location from two bars, to none, and drop, without moving. My Treo 650 from Verizon is the horrible. I hope no one else makes this mistake.

Very poor signal strength outside, signal drops to 0 to 1 bar inside house, no signal at all in basement. All voice calls have to be done outdoors. SMS text messages do work well indoors for both receive and sending. Go 2 blocks south, or 4 blocks west, and the signal improves to 5 bars and voice calls are good.

Verizon has been terrible in Arvada, especially at our house and within 1 mile. It seems to be getting worse. Their reps continue to make promises and lie about improvements to no avail. Don't get this carrier in Arvada!
