Reviews by location

When choosing a cellular provider, coverage is the most important aspect. How can you use your phone to its fullest if it doesn't get good reception in your home area? There are other factors to consider, of course -- price, phone selection, customer service -- but none of that matters if the coverage isn't there. That's why we're bringing you this review tool. By entering in your location information and selecting a carrier you can see what others have to say about coverage in the region.

Below you can enter in your ZIP code, or enter in your city, state, and street location. The street is optional, but the more specific the information the more filtered the reviews. This way you can check to see if that carrier with a cool new phone model will provide good service in your area. What's the use of a killer phone if you get poor service?

We hope this tool, which pulls from over 4000 reviews (reviews are aggregated from Going Cellular and our sister sites; BBGeeks and Prepaid Reviews) helps you find more specific information which can help you make a more informed decision on your cellular purchase.

I've been a Sprint customer off and on since 2001. The first time, after being a customer for three years, I decided I wanted a new phone. I was told I had to wait 4 months for a rebate check after buying a new phone, whereas new customers received the rebate instantly. I was told that, if I have a problem with that, I should find another carrier...by three separate CSRs. I told them to cancel my contract and switched to Nextel. They didn't cancel my contract, I had to call the CSRs again 3 months later to have them cancel my account retroactively and remove fees. Nextel was then purchased by Sprint and my service there went to crap too, making it clear they wanted Nextel customers to get on the Sprint CDMA network. I did so, begrudgingly. When I purchased a new phone, paid for 100% with cash no rebates, they extended my contract based on the activation. Then, three years after the first contract, I get a bill from a collections agency for $27.00 in late fees for the previously canceled contract, though they never sent me a bill of any kind. Stay away from Sprint. They're a nightmare.
