How is the Sprint cell coverage at Sunday River?

Right now my wife and I have Verizon, and the coverage is pretty good up there. She is considering a move to Sprint, but having a cell phone signal at our condo is key. Of course it is nearly impossible to test before you buy, so I thought I would ask here. Thanks.

I have no Idea about sprint. I have UScellular and have excellent coverage there. Maybe Bobr knows.

I know nothing about Sprint coverage at SR. I've had several friends quit Sprint because coverage in general has been poor. I'd make sure it works at your condo before switching. I know I wouldn't switch from Verizon to Sprint for my everyday coverage.

Just switched to AT&T, but my Sprint coverage had been OK at Sunday River over the years.

I know, I'm not in your part of the world, but my baby sister had sprint, but recently switched because her coverage was awful when she got off the beaten path.
Coverage at our local ski hill was awful for her, and when she would go from one tower to another for coverage, she (occasionally) was charged roaming. Nuts.

I have decent luck at Sunday River with Sprint, unless I'm in the Jordan Bowl. If anyone gets coverage there with another carrier, I'd like to know about it.

I'm sitting in my office in South Ridge with a Sprint phone. Good service around the base areas (not sure where your condo is). Good service on White Cap, Locke, Barker, and Spruce. Spotty in Aurora and Jordan (better at summits). Spotty at the Grand Hotels. Good service up and down the access road and in Bethel.

Plus, Sprint sponsors the little retractable season pass leashes at SR. Last years has taken up residency on my golf bag for the club head brush. No more fumbling around looking for it in my bag and when I'm finished I just let go and it snaps back in place. ATT has spotty reception at the Riv, Loaf,Killington, my backyard etc... lots of " NO Service" attempted calls,drop calls on and on and on....
Get Sprint.
