Exactly my experience with my Cingular friends in L.A. It usually takes me about 2 or three dials to get connected with them during the weekend. Sometimes the system just led me directly to the voice mail directly, and my friend's phone was on.

S100, I used my favorite search engine, typed the word "sucks" and then Sprint, Verizon, Nextel, AT&T wireless etc. Man o man, there are many angry customers out there: dropped calls, poor coverage, useless phones. There must be an active "sucks SIG" for every company (I have yet to try "stinks"). And regardless of technology, can you believe it?
The Sprint sucks search came back with complaints such as:

""people I talked to said "It sounds like you're talking through a tube underwater". Not to mention the high pitch beep noises that starting occurring at random in their ear! Then, I started to get disconnected all the time, this is what's known as a "dropped call", I would be talking on the phone and it would just disconnect for seemingly no reason all the time""

I'm not going to publish any link to that website since it's so obviously false - we all know CDMA has all clear calls, extreme capacity and excellent handoff..
