Sprint's website have a online coverage map that can zoom in on individual addresses and quickly switch between Sprint, Nextel, and the Hybrid/PowerSource coverages, along with toggling on and off data and roaming. It is usually fairly accurate, although Nextels have been known to work in areas that the site says that should not. Every Cell company should have a feature like this.

You guys have always known you had a kick but network. You're finally beginning to learn how to use it. AT&T is overrated,Verizon spends millions on commercials to make you think they have the best network.they don't. T Mobile just sucks. unfortunately back in the early 90's you're reputation has haunted you till today. You're finally turning it around. I've been a Sprint customer for 6 years straight. No switching back and forth. Have no problems. Broadband rocks. This new NFL mobile live rocks. HAVE NOT HAD IT DROP SIGNAL ONCE YET! Keep up the good work. Intelligent customers know who the best network is. They dont need influencing to sway them. I personally dont need coverage in the middle of a corn field (Verizon).

at&t overrated? we are the orginal phone company, we designed the stupid things, lol, who would you trust more, someone with 20 yrs experience or over 100 yrs experience? I mean come on, give us a flippin break, all providers have their good, bad and ugly, but we have over 130 Million customers, they all can't be wrong!
arrogance? you mistake arrogance for confidence, I know we have a great service, great phones, and the largest customer base, the rest is just opioin, all service providers provide about the same service, for about the same price, the difference is how they treat their customers, call me biased, I was with Sprint for 10 years and was treated wrongly, so I guess I am a little biased
Same service? not even close. noone has matched sprints ptt yet. or the massive data network. and price? people who choose sprint save on average over 600 bucks on the term of their contract.

any ideas on how to better my signal strength? I want to switch back to sprint from Verizon due to costs, but I don't know if it is worth the hassle. I know I can save with sprint and their data is great, but voice isn't the best. I live in Washington Court House, OH and travel to Indiana alot, but the signal strength isn't great where I work. What are my options?

Yes.I have a great idea how you can have a better signal.get the sprint air rave.boosts your signal to full capacity.I love it! (kept me from leaving SPRINT)
The only draw back is.I think it should be a free service.

There are several ways to get better signals. It depends on whether you want wireless or be directly connected to an antenna and if it is for a car at a building.
A friend turned me on to the people he bought his wireless repeater from. I was very skeptical w/ all these promises that companies make that are not true but I went ahead and got one.
I went thru a lot of research first and ordered w/ my Visa to I knew I was protected, but I had to do something and I got one.
It wasn't cheap $1,000 for the one that would do my whole warehouse and small offices. For 1900 MHz it costs more than 800 MHz. Anyway, it did work. Just like they said it would.
But be careful. There are so many brands and so many models and so many people selling them that it seems like a midway at the carnival. Also, there are situations where they won't work so it's important to be comfortable w/ who you buy from.
