Cannot use phone inside my house! Must go outside to talk. Poor reception in spots all over Manatee and Sarasota counties. Will not work in a lot of building around these two counties. Sprint should be ashamed!
moved down from ny and never lost reception thru the entire east coast ! used to have Sprint and AT&T and dropped calls were a constant affair last post was supposed to be for verizon
I was considering changing to Consumer Cellular to avoid a NEW contract but after looking at the crappy reception from all these other carriers I may just stay with Alltel. FYI, Consumer Cellular buys blocks of time from ATT (GSM network)
Used Nextel for years with below average here, but great elsewhere. AT&T before that was just a little worse. Sprint took over Nextel and nothing... good luck getting a call in or out. Switched to Verizon and get 0 -2 now, but not clear and dropping calls constantly. And the people in River Club don't want a cell tower - on the Golf Course. Uneducated idiots if you as me.
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.
