In some areas, consumers with insufficient signal at their billing address may make a formal request for service at that location. The customer may be responsible for additional charges in order to provide service at a specific billing address.
To make a coverage request, create a Support email and select Coverage from the Topics drop-down box. You must enter your name, billing address, daytime phone, and whether or not you are a current Sprint customer. In five to seven working days, a representative will contact you to discuss your request.

I have found this on the bottom of the Sprint Support page... its amazing that Sprint will do this for a customer... wow! - Does any other carrier offer this, is it required by FCC, or is it exclusive to Sprint?
Hmm, well that whole "additional charges" thing might be a bit of a deal killer...I don't have enough spare change for a cell tower and all the fixin's

they probably mean a signal booster that you might be able to buy from them. i never knew that they do this, this might be for every service provider but who knows

if you have weak signal inbuilding, sprint could install and lease you a repeater like they use in stores, subways, etc.
Obviously if you have NO coverage then its adding a tower or installing sprint panels onto anothers tower.

Somewhere here in the forums is a post about a user that did something just like this. He was tired of having poor reception in his house so he found a place that he could buy a signal booster that would work with his cellphone at home. I read it months ago. If I remember correctly the device consisted of 2 major components. First there was a small unit placed inside one of the rooms, for example in a living room where he may be placing his calls the most frequently. The second piece of equipment he placed in his attic in an area where he got the best reception he could from his cellphone. When making a call his cellphone would transmit to the small "living room unit" which would communicate with the attic transceiver's antenna which would then communicate with the cell tower. It ran him about $300 and he was happy about his signal strength gain.
