Hi, I'll repeat my comment from the last time this discussion was going on. I live on N. St. Clair (between Bryant and Hampton). I used to carry a Verizon cell phone for work purposes - it was totally unreliable - lost the signal regularly, usually in the middle of a call, even from my third floor. For my personal use, I have Sprint - and have had them for the past 6 years. I get great reception from home - always 5 bars. I have never lost a signal at home and rarely anywhere else. Claudette
