Coverage Reviews for Colorado Springs, CO 80916

Rating | Carrier | Zip Code

T-Mobile

We signed up for T-Mobile a year ago, because they have low prices, now I know why, 1 / 2 the time I and my family have no signal. We receive voicemails on delays of up to 3 days. I go from my kitchen with 3 bars, to my bedroom with no bars, is this quirky or what? The only thing that seems to work a majority of the time is texting. I can't wait toget out of my contract, this downright SUCKS.

AT&T

With AT&T and Galaxy S3's my wife and I are being told the towers no longer work with our phones. We only have the option for 911 calling and only have web access if connected to wifi. AT&T says all the towers are down and there is no ETA on the fix. They also will not credit us for time down. iPhone 4 I gave my father works fine a block away. What gives?

Sprint

we've had spring for over 10 years never a problem great service they are the best T Mobile all those other carriers they suck

Sprint

Priced way to high approximately 70% of calls drop or need to be dialed multiple times to get a tower to connect. Voice mails don't show up for days sometimes. Customer service is non existent.

Verizon

Verizon has dead spots in University Park. There is a directional tower on the bluffs above UCCS that interferes with another tower. Phones will show 5 bars but drop 99% of calls. Verizon took over 3 months to make this conclusion even though there were other reports of problems in this area. They lied, cheated, and stole every step of the way.

AT&T

Excellent AT&T coverage in University Park and most of Colorado Springs. Not bad considering that Verizon is a dead spot where I live and it took them over 3 months and they lied, cheated, and stole every step of the way. T-Mobile also works well in this area, but I've had more dead spots around town with T-Mobile than AT&T.

T-Mobile

I have been with T-Mobile for over 10 years and have truly enjoyed their services. I continually have great overall cell phone service and customer service! I moved to this location 3 years ago and have never had a problem with my overall services, unlike my Verizon and AT&T friends.

Verizon

First 6 months of service had 4G LTE 100% of the time at home. The last 8 months I hardly ever get any signal. Same location. No new building structures or telephone poles. He I on states it is only my area but many people I know with Verizon ha e the same problem. None of these people live near my location. I think Verizon must lose the commercials about their 4g coverage because it is definitely false.

T-Mobile

i get very poor reception, need to find a place outside to talk sometimes.

Verizon

I originaly had T-Mobile it was terrible this was work phone. Had AT&T for 12 yrs in Denver moved down here dropped calls after 3-5 min all the time, Went to Verizon it was great now cant get a signal unless Im in house by their booster can go from 4 bars to no bars. For what these phones cost its terrible none of them are reliable and they dont care either thats what really ticks me off. They said yep your in a bad area to bad.

T-Mobile

Data Service is at 2G until we reach a T-Mobile Service center than it goes up. There is not enough Towers located in the SouthEast Division, specifically Jetwing and Fountain BLVD

AT&T

Had to get a MicroCell in order to make a call, keep a call. Even with that $200 expenditure, it can be "iffy". AT&T has indicated there will be a tower closer to us. First it was March of 2013 and now it's August 2013. Hopefully, that will help. Like AT&T, but if reception continues to be an issue, we'll look at another carrier for that area.

Verizon

Cannot even get average reception outside of the house. It will still drop calls outside. This is with Verizon and Sprint.

AT&T

I live in the Broadmoor area and have suffered through very poor reception. We live at the base of Cheyenne Mountain and have been told that the mountain blocks the signal from the tower. I went to my local AT&T store on Cheyenne Mountain Blvd. near Target and picked up a Micro Cell Tower that boosts the signal through my internet connection. This has changed the reception dramatically; now have full bars consistently. As soon as I leave my house the signal is lost until I get to Hwy. 115. AT&T needs to get a new tower in our area; under the shadow of the mountain.

Verizon

My Verizon land line service could not be worse. Many calls I cannot understand the person I am speaking with and many times they cannot understand me. It is so disappointing and I would like to go back to Century Link but I cannot afford to pay to terminate my contract with Verizon. PLEASE HELP! My cell phone works FINE!

AT&T

I see a lot of conflicting information on these posts. I work from home and have no land line... therefore I rely on my cell phone 100% of the time. I've been a customer of AT&T for years, and didn't have issues with dropped calls until this last year. AT&T has really disappointed me as each call I make drops within 3-5 minutes. it's NEVER their fault, and always an excuse. I hate the thought of having to get a land line again (telemarketing) but may have to. Work requires an iPhone... however selecting a RELIABLE carrier is driving me nuts..since i'll just have to deal with a different carriers "issues / excuses" until that contract is up... such a racket!

T-Mobile

I've sold phones for 8 years now, Having all of the major carriers. Since I started with T-Mobile I've been very impressed, By far the best in Colorado Springs area. T-Mobile ranked number 1 for a reason in Colorado springs.

Verizon

Until today I could count on one (1) steady bar for reception. Calls drop consistently no matter where in the house I am, even upstairs. As of today, no bars, no service. I'm awaiting VZW's response to my complaint. My prior carrier was T-Mobile and I didn't have any reception issues such as the one I'm going through now.

Verizon

My first Incredible stopped working and I got the updated replacement. I have no service in my house and have to drive around a few blocks to make a phone call. I have poor service everywhere. I was wondering if the Waldo Canyon Fire affected the towers.

Sprint

about two weeks ago Sprint went from full bar to no bar and roaming now I just get call dismissed. Frustrated as I work at this location and I do the majority of my work from my cell phone. does anyone know what happenmed to the service?

AT&T

In Springs Ranch area I see my signal go between 2 and 5 bars, but never enough to drop a call. Service is not as bad as people make it out to be. Unfortunately, they are a little behind getting 4G LTE to the Coloraado Springs area. Looking forward to the upgrade in data speeds.

T-Mobile

Worst experience with a cell phone ever. I get, literally, no bars anywhere in my apartment. I can't send text messages and most of the calls I try to make or receive drop. I recently moved from Denver and didn't have any problems there. I don't always get data either, even downtown which is ridiculous. I have tried calling Tmobile's incredibly inept customer service (when I'm able to make calls, which isn't very often) and they always tell me they have no idea what's going on. TMoblie says I should be able to make calls outside, or in my car, but that's a load of bull and it doesn't work anyway. Even if I could make calls on the patio, or in my car, I shouldn't have to. I don't pay what I am paying every month to have to go outside each time I need to make a phone call. I went to the store and they switched my phone for a brand new one, same problems. I am at my wits end. Buyer beware: TMOBILE SUCKS

AT&T

AT&T has been telling me I live in a "hole" and Colorado Springs has overall poor AT&T coverage. THen why are they saleing the product to locals? I can be in my apartment and the signal goes from nothing to all my bars to nothing... without moving! Currently I have 1 bar; if I hae to call 911 I'm screwed. If you lie in the area, you should avoid AT&T at all costs. They will also cancel your service if you use too many "off network" minutes, even after telling them I travel for a living. My family has alrady changed to Verizon, it's just a matter of time before I do.

Sprint

I know this industry, so I will not waste my time complaining about dead or weak spots in town. Sprint has always had better coverage than anyone but Verizon. Period. The issue is not having 4G yet. Colorado Springs has been left off of the 4G map for far too long now..And if we don't get it this year, Verizon here I come..

Sprint

For the last two months have have had signal strength at home of 0-Full, depending on the minute. Logged several calls with Customer support... worthless. Finally call Executive Customer support... almost worthless. Different excuse every day. I finally received $264 in credits, which I used to cancel my service (8 year customer). Moved to T-Mobile and love the price speed and service.

Sprint

We've been having same problem as has been posted here. Sprint is up one minute and down the next in our area. I work downtown and have no problem there and no problem after I leave my neighborhood, but in my house the signal will be 3-4 bars one minute and then no service or Extended with 1 bar. This has been going on for a few weeks now.

Sprint

When we got our Sprint service in Oct 2011 it was fine, 4-5 bars in the house at all times. Then in February 2012 things changed radically. We started dropping cars routinely (6-8 per day) and at times we would have No Service on half to one bar of signal. I called Sprint and went through hours of annoying service updating on my phone and resetting everything on my iPhone. I finally convinced the techs that since I had four iPhones all on Sprint all doing the same thing, that it wasn't our phones. They escalated me to an engineer who said that they were servicing the cell in our neighborhood and that it should be back to normal within 36 hours. That was five weeks ago and nothing has changed. I have been calling Sprint service routinely to complain every few days and have become quite adept at getting them to admit it is their fault each time telling me that they show that the cell in our neighborhood is down or being serviced. I have asked to be credited and they are "investigating" whether they can offer us credit for not providing us any service. We had been with T-Mobile for over ten years and had wonderful cell service and wonderful customer service. If we ever had even the slightest outage that we didn't even complain about, T-Mobile would proactively issue a bill credit for the outage. Sprint is acting like they could care less.

Sprint

I've had Sprint for almost 4 (or 5) years. Only a couple of times have I had no signal where I've been. I've lived in Ohio, Illinois, and Colorado with Sprint. Where I live now, I go between 4 and 5 bars, depending on where I am in my apt. I get a better signal in Pueblo West on Sprint, than my parents do on Verizon. I'm able to make calls, and not "drop" them inside their house, compared to my parents, who have to go outside on their deck to make calls on their Droid 2's (Global). I even had a signal on Sprint in Illinois, compared to my grandparents on AT&T. Sure did love being able to make calls and "drop" them. Poor AT&T and Verizon. Charging more and more for less and less service.

Sprint

My phone reception fluctuates from having 3-4 bars to no bars in a matter of seconds. Reception is horrible in and around the house. Hard to sent and recieve messages,Dropped calls, Sprint sucks!

Verizon

No problems with reception here. But, Verizon customer service sucks, so I'm changing ASAP.
