Sprint PCS Dead Zones
- Indoor coverage in various areas of the city — Generally, the further you are from their closest cellsite, indoor coverage deteriorates. I’ve experienced many dropouts talking to people on Sprint PCS phones throughout the area. Even though Sprint has quite a few cellsites spread throughout the area they usually have their antennas lowest on the towers, which gives them lower range per cellsite than other carriers.
- Moundhouse
- Inside Renown Medical Center on Mill Street.

Your “lowest on the towers” statement is misleading. It can also mean higher data speeds and increased capacity as well as less interference all of which result in better battery life and better voice quality.

I have terrible service for my spring internet card inside my home in the D’Andrea development located on the corner of S.D’Andrea and Vista Bl;vd in Sparks. My roomate also loses calls on his RenoPD issued Nextel cell phone in our house.

Sprint is dead in the Caughlin Ranch area (McCarran/Caughlin Parkway). Do any carriers work better in this area?

Upper Caughlin (by the Scolari’s), or lower Caughlin ?

odd, sprint put up a new site last year, coverage seems good in that area…
