Default Works OK in Germantown, but there is a big dead area near

the 370 & Great Seneca intersection. If you live anywhere near there, don't get Sprint PCS. I used to have AT&T and experienced the same problems in that area as well. I guess there isn't a place to put up a Cell Antenna anywhere near there. Also, the dead area seems to extend along Great Seneca up until the Kentlands development.

I have Sprint PCS and works well for me. I always get cut off in the area that I mentionsed above.

Default We use Sprint for our work cell phones...the service is horrible!

I lose signal on probably 90% of the calls I'm on. The phone will switch to analog roam for no apparent reason, even if I am standing in the same place. Sprint's service has always been like this. That's why they offer thousands and thousands of mintues a month for like $29. What good is that if the thing doesn't work half the time? I have ATT&T for my personal cell and it works great. I have never had a call drop and have never had it not work anywhere. I am in the Baltimore/Washington area, I don't know how Sprint is elsewhere. I know when I drive out of state my Sprint phone will just sit there and say "looking for service" and never find anything.

I used Sprint PCS in this area for 2 years and HATED it. Terrible coverage.

Default Sprint PCS is adequate, but only just.

At least, for me.

The cell service at my apt. complex is abominable, but it's useable elsewhere. Beyond that, it's average.

I don't have a problem with it, but I'm not what you'd call a heavy user. My avg. bill is under $20.

AT&T is the only way to go, never had coverage problem, great plans and customer service too!
