Moved into new offices. T Mobil, Verizon can be subscribers can sitting next to me and they have five bars and are talking. My AT&T has no service. I have five phones on my account from the simple Motorala to the Iphone. All of them have no service. It's ridiculous. Clay O'Steen, The O'Steen Group, Inc.

I wrote this a moment ago, and the message cameback that I don't live in a valid zip code. Helllooooooo A T and T... .I live in a valid zip code but you don't have any service here. SR 70 and I-75 IS A VERY VALID PLACE, and since you took over from Cingular in the last 3-4 weeks, I no longer can make or receive calls in my house or in my car as I'm driving in the neighborhood. Cingular was MUCH BETTER... .could place and receive calls with perfect clarity. You are the worst... ... You will be gone the minute I can switch my vast network of service to another company. You have no reliabilityand no integrity.

Barely any signal in the house, can't even call home from the grocery store 4 blocks away. Decent coverage outdoors, but stick with Verizon in this area.

Had Nextel with cheap Motorolas, awesome reception 98% of the time. Clear sound even with low signals. Have had AT&T with Motorola V220 now for 3 weeks. Customer complaints, dropped calls, poor reception, can hear about every 3rd word most of the time. Returning phones, cancelling plan.

Reception in only one room of the house. Calls are possible when walking outside, but still experience many dropped calls. It's unfortunate that lakewood ranch area has such poor cell service. I've been told by several carrier sales people that Alltel has the best service in the lakewood ranch area.

All throughout Manatee County you can count on Nextel / Sprint cancelling out your calls. Dropped calls, no service and caller not available are the usual responses you'll receive. Ever since the wonderful merger have connections with both their direct connect service and phone diminished. They are reliable for being unreliable

I can barely get a reception with Nextel since the switch to Sprint. It used to be my phone was the only one in the house that worked (my wife's Cingular has always had poor reception, like 1 / 2 of a bar). However Sprint has been lowering the bar everywhere, so I've noticed. Hence, it's cancelled as of August 10th. Now I've got to find a better company.

I have recenty relocated back to Perico Island (West of Bradenton on Manatee Ave. / SR-64) and when we lived here over a year ago we had terrible (if any) coverage. Well over 1 year later still the same crappy signal drops 95% of the time. Many people here had Nextel and swiched over to other carriers because of this. Some are waithing for their contracts with Nextel to expire. There are a lot of public safety personel that live out here and had Nextel and complain all of the time. We thought that when the Sprint Merger (Takeover) happened maybe the coverage would improve. NOT! My wife and I use Nextel exclusively for our main phone (No Land Based phone for the past 3 years) but with all of this trouble and voice mail sometimes as late as 2 days delay we are thinking of other alternatives over Nextel unless they fix this issue in the next few months. Bradenton coverage in general is nothing near what Sarasota Nextel coverage is. That is very sad. If ony Nextel would spend money on providing better signals by spending less money on Nascar (I love Nascar but Nascar does not get my business done) Ok enough on the vent.

Awesome reception even with the cheapest older phones. 98% availability and clarity, some outage West of Manatee Ave., which seems to be the case for all carriers. Apparently no tower covers that sliver. Rest of Bradenton all the way to Arcadia, fantastic and clear calls except for a 2 minute stretch of Hwy. near Myakka City. Service for 2 years, pleased with service. Customer Service is terrible though. And forget the mail-in rebate. I did it all correctly and never got a check. "Sorry Ma'am we never received anything from you" How do you prove them wrong? Was worth 2 good years of service but don't depend on the rebate.

Sprint sucks. I've had unlimited crap since 2006 time to change carriers.
