Sprint

excellent coverage and service all over the city. cust svc kinda sucks but its best to do your own self help trouble shooting and fixes. I have had Sprint PCS for over 5 years.

heard lots of probs and complaints about cricket service. but I have had cricket for at least 7 mths and have had no probs with the reception or the service just the cust svc they dont know squat! best to do your own self help trouble shooting and fix it on your own. so I think it depends on the type of phone you have seems motorolas have the best reception and svc reliability.

I can get as many as 5 bars and the phone claims it cannot find the network. It's a self-inflicted denial of service having Sprint for a carrier; my wife has no trouble with T-Mobile. My Sprint contract runs out this month and I am firing them. I want a Treo 650, but if I have to have Sprint, no thanks.

I don't have service MORE than I do. Cingular is the absolute WORST service carrier in ALB.

Does anyone know if Verizon has better coverage in this area? Appromixately 1 mile east of Lomas and Tramway.

I work with many other T-Mobile customers and half the time I can hear them and they can't hear me. Customer care for T-Mobile is more inept and unintelligent than Q-West.

I have been with T-Mobile close to a year and have to say they have the crappiest phone reception. I went from AT&T only to get worse service. Beleive it or not I have actually had to stand on my toilet seat to get phone service when it's raining. It's constantly dropping calls.

I have had VoiceStream / T-Mobile for eight years and have been pretty darn happy with the reception as well as the service( except for once when they screwed up and would not take ownership). Anyway, I convinced my partner to switch from another plan that she was dissatisfied with over to T-Mobile. Since she did so over a year ago we have slowly found our reception to be getting consistantly worse. Now that we have moved to Nob Hill our reception is the worst it can possibly be. Our phones don't even work in our house! I mean we actually pay for unlimited nights and weekends which would take place at home but this is not even possible on the Ericsson and very spotty on the Nokia. I don't know if this is the same for everyone in the neighborhood but a friend with the same phone and sevice 2 blocks east of here has the same lousy service. After 5 months of calls to the service center T-Mobile told my partner that they can no longer help and that she should get a new carrier. So were shopping a new carrier.

Verizon poor. T-Mobile phone I have is somewhat better. I was disappointed with Verizon service when I asked them to investigate dropped calls.
