Sprint
Sprint has had the good coverage in Sacramento compared to other providers. I was with Cingular until early 2003, and tried AT&T GSM in early 2003 also. Neither had anywhere close to the reception coverage that Sprint had in 2003, with the coverage being comparable to Verizon in this market. With Cingular, I couldn't make or recieve a call in my apartment or at work (Stockton and Y Street), making the phone and service less than useful. I recommend Sprint to my friends in Sacramento and in San Francisco. Of note, the phone does make a significant difference in reception, please read the reviews before buying.

Cingular and AT&T reception is horrible in this new development area.

poor reception in the antelope area. also some serious reception issues in the citrus heights area near oak. No coverage while getting something to eat at hometown buffet. Outside the sacramento area, my T-Mobile out-performed my friends Verizon wireless phone from reno, to carson city, to tahoe, all the ways back to sac

Excellent reception with no complaints. Not perfect, but close. Local or long distance, no problems since I started service 11 / 2004.

Roughly 75% of my calls are dropped. No reception in my house. Whenever on the freeway throughout the state incoming calls aways go to voicemail and never ring on the phone.

couldn't make a compleat call with the other person on the phone yelling at you what did you say again and again. PASS ON METRO PCS if you drive east of fair oaks area. throw metro PCS phone out the window past HWY 50 and folsom. I broke down and said to myself. "I'll calll a tow truck" pull new cell phone out and no freeking service at all. phone died looking for service. seems like VERISON is the only depedable Cell-Phone Co. For the eastern part of Sacramento county like: Fair Oaks,Folsom,O-Vale area's.

I love AT&T Wireless. I hate the customer service people they should all be fired and or shot then replaced with people that want to help not sit on their buts collectin 13.00 an hour to piss off AT&T customers. Other than that I understand that sometimes I will have dropped calls but I love EDGE for internet use and I love mMode.. It works very well being able to find my family when we are unable to get ahold of each other. I can locate my mom, my wife, my brothers, sisters, and they can locate me using Find Friends. My friends can locate me, and I can locate them. My wife was lost once and she didn't know where she was since we moved to Sac from Seattle so I hung up and located her to find out she really wasn't in the sacramento area but was in Davis near e 8th street so I was able to guide her back here.. I sure hope Mmode does not go away or at least they migrate some of the features like Find Friends and Find Things Nearby.. I'm alwasy on the lookout for Starbucks and Find Things Nearby tells me where they are and how to get to them..

Great coverage. I had a problem with my old Motorola, but since I got my new Nokia, I've had no problems with my service at all!

I have never had a problem with reception, but I don't get all of my voicemails and text msgs... more than half the text msg I send are not received or delayed. When I have AT&T, that was the worse service I have ever had. Most of the time I did not get reception.
