Dropped calls are frequent. Very poor reception indoors and not much better outside. Had the same reception problem with AT&T prior to Verizon. Need a tower in NW Bradenton.

I live near I-75 and S.R. 64, I get barely any service at my house inside crappy service touch and go or outside dismissed call... I work within a block of the Sarasota Airport and even worst service there than at my house... . Sprint sent us a box to plug into our server at my office, still service is touch and go... . 4G Service... ... What is that... ..? LOL I got 4G Service when I am in my boat in the center of the Tampa Bay but not 10 miles south at my house... . Come on what is the deal? Sprint needs to get a clue. Their Nextel service in these areas are even worse yet... . Thats why I switched from Nextel to Sprint Their suggestion... .! What a hugh pain in the ass... .

Just moved back to town from out of state. We switched to AT&T for the iphone but since we are back in our house, the reception is pathetic - 1 or 2 bars or no service. Internet is spotty and slow. What's the deal AT&T?

Have AT&T and would like to switch carriers and get newer phones, but would like something that would work in our area. So far neither AT&T nor Verizon have good reviews. Phone will appear to have a signal (E or 3G with 1 or 2 bars), UNTIL you need to use it and then it's gone! No reception in the house OR outside. Son doesn't even want to carry his cell phone when he's out in the neighborhood because it never works when he needs us or when we need him - How many kids have you EVER heard say that? Talked to AT&T this past weekend and they say 2 or 3 towers in our area are working in a diminished capacity so that may be why our signal is so poor. How about we get that fixed for how much everyone is paying each month?!?

AT&T and T-Mobile absolutely suck indoors here. Both GSM carriers are available outside, but indoors is none to nothing. When does FTC finally allow more GSM carriers? Little Italy has 4, why does the US only have 2 and still support these outdated propritary services?

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.

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!

Great two years ago, now steady down hill

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.

I Live out in east bradenton and daily drive to west bradenton. I have not had any problems with my singal or customer service. Great company!

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.

Even at 2 bars I rarely drop calls. Out of Florida though, getting calls is iffy and sending is difficult... . even in Atlanta, an AllTel hub!

Can't complain. There hasn't been a place yet where I have not gotten signal. Talk about toip of the line service.

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.

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

If I'm lucky I get one bar of reception. We lose calls constantly. Used Nextel for years, but since the Sprint merger the service was horrible everywhere around here. Switched to Verizon. Better than Nextel / Sprint, but not by much. Can you here me at all?

Both my phone and my wife's phone will lose reception indoors. Must stand outside to make calls. We know many people that have the same problem... especially in Lakewood Ranch area. Wife got an Alltel and it works fine indoors here. Will be switching as soon as I find a good phone with Alltel.
