Are there any Sprint Note 4 reception-signal issues I should be concerned with?

Sprint note 4 reception-signal issues!

I am interested in purchasing a note 4 on Sprints network. I have read online that the sprint version of the note 4 has some issues with signal strength. Can anyone reply in regards to this issue if you have experienced any problems or things I should be concerned with. Thanks.

Re: Sprint note 4 reception-signal issues!

That's not a question someone not near you can give you a decent answer to. If you're in an area that Sprint covers with a -80dbm signal with no holes, no phone is going to give you any problem. If you're on the fringes of their signal, you need people who are also on the fringes of a Sprint signal to get reports from. Some phones can hold the signal when it's almost not there, others lose it when it's still fairly strong. And if there a place you need coverage in that sprint has a hole, no phone will give you coverage there. (So if I tell you that the Sprint model is no good because I can't get a signal anywhere in my daughter's house, is that useful to you? No, because there's no measurable Sprint signal there - whe's in a shadow from the Sprint tower that just covers the walls of her house. The signal is decent on the front steps, and disappears inside the door. That's a report, but not of any use to you unless you want service while you're visiting my daughter.)

All the major carriers give you about 15 days to cancel wit no penalty (except that you normally pay for airtime used). If that's the phone and the service you want, get the phone when you'll have a few days to visit every haunt in which you'll want service. If it works everywhere you need it to work, who cares if it does or doesn't work for someone else? If you get terrible service at home and no service at the office, bring it back. (Even if it's a new account, you can still cancel it - ask them how much it will cost before you sign anything. If it's just the phone, and you know you currently get Sprint coverage where you need it - ask how many phone swaps they allow if the phone you choose doesn't get coverage where your current phone does.)

Any carrier that won't work with you raises the Liberty Insurance question - "Why are you with this carrier?" I pay more for AT&T than I could for a few other carriers. Why? If I had to find a complaint about them it would be that when I go to the store, I'm not always the first one on line. That's how picky I'd have to get. They apologized once when they couldn't fix my phone and had to give me a new one. Apologized? For giving me a new phone?
