It must depend on where you live. Living in a medium-sized city we had multiple dropped calls daily with Verizon, though the coverage on trips was excellent with few dead zones. We switched to T Mobile and now rarely have any dropped calls. We do have less coverage outside of urban areas however.

Definitely depends on location. I have T-Mo and never drop calls. Several colleagues have AT&T and barely get a signal at work while I get full signal. All of us have iPhones, so it's not the phone. Very pleased w/T-Mo.

Americans with their English inventions, just call it "bad signals", what's with "dropped calls"?

Does anybody have yahoo with t-mobile and how is it if so with Yahoo and email? any problems dropped calls? etc thanks, moonie

AT&T! "Raising the bar" My butt. I get the worst signal with them. Especially where I need it the most.

Its called "dropped calls" because the calls are dropped. Its not bad English because "bad signal" would not accurately descibe what happens when you are on the phone and the call is lost. I'm not sure why that's a difficult thing to understand.

My Sprint phone was the only provider to work during and in the aftermath of Cat 4/5 Hurricane Charley in 2004. I couldnt reach anyone with a Verizon or AT&T. Talk about great service when you need it the most!!

Sprint was good, except in the customer service area... I was a customer for a couple of years, and then when I was about to renew my contract with them a problem popped up. Trying to resolve it turned into a nightmare of conflicting information and promises. Worst of all they tried to force an early termination fee on me when I had 14 days to cancell without penalty.

I had to contact the FCC to file a complaint and suddenly there wasn't a fee...I even got a few phonecalls of them trying to get me to remain a customer with them.

Just document calls to customer service, names..dates, what was discussed...the whole nine yards..or better yet deal with them by e=mail so you have copies of what was said by them to you!!

If I wasn't good at documenting the problem and how I handled it...I would have been screwed out of hundreds of dollars with Sprint! I warn anyone out there that Sprint sucks!!

AT&T in Houston is the biggest joke. I have never been more unhappy with any type of service in my life...with absolutely no help from customer service. But, of course, I'm stuck with these losers due to the required 2 year contract when they lied about how great a wireless service they would provide. Crooks!

I wonder why you guys "forgot" to rate Alltel? Alltel is, hands down, the best provider. I almost never have a dropped call, and where I live, it is the only provider who has decent coverage.

In Indy, every call from my home, if it lasts long enough, is a dropped call with AT&T.

Sprint used to drop calls daily, untill they bought Nextel. I haven't had a dropped call sine.
