I get bad reception on my Iphone in Buttonwood and a lot of dropped calls. I even had it replaced by Apple because I thought it was my phone, but the new one is just the same.

I had bad reception on my AT & T regular cellphone in Sabal Chase - worked great at my friend's up in Piedmont. So I switched to Sprint last winter because Ohioboy's workphone with Sprint/Nextel worked just fine, and I checked the coverage map which I swear last year showed we were in a "excellent" pocket for Sprint, but just inside the edge of it. Now the online coverage map just shows "good."

I get awful reception in our concrete block faced with brick house in Ohio - coverage map shows "good." I get better reception in The Villages than I had with AT&T but it's not great. Ohioboy's still works just fine.

Is there some difference in coverage when you have Sprint/Nextel compared to just Sprint? I would have thought it was the same. My phone is new - the Samsung Reclaim. My friend who has a Blackberry with Sprint also barely had any bars on her phone inside our house here.

Now we have to either add another cellphone for Ohioboy to my Sprint plan - which would mean 2 more years of it instead of 1 yr and 3 mos. Thinking about getting Verizon for him and adding me when my contract runs out. Or trying the Pure Talk from another thread on here.
