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.

Sprint is awful in this area. EVERY call experiences dropped call from inside house -- even in room with windows all around. Useless to try to use for business. Quite an embarrassment. What a joke trying to get Sprint to help.

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?!?

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!

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.

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?

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.

Have little to no service at all while in the Country Club neighborhood in Lakewood Ranch.

with T-Mobile I get no reception in almost all buildings. never works in childrens school either braden river elementry or middle or lakewood ranch hospital and doesn't matter what type phone had a Samsung s105 swithched to motorolas razr because I thought recption problem was phone and now I no it's not

Coverage has actually gotten worse than ever lately. I think they are overloading their network or something. Used to get 1-2 bars, now either get 0 or no signal at all. It's really pathetic because this area is booming, but we are in the stone age coverage-wise. Thought of switching from T-Mobile to Cingular, but after reading other comments from nearby users, I am resigned to using smoke signals to communicate.

Absolutely horrible reception in Lakewood Ranch. I have used 3 different phones now all on the Sprint network and the reception is horrible.

Originally an AT&T user, got switched to Cingular - transferred to T-Mobile to be on family plan (3 phones) and signal never better than one bar - TMobile upgraded my phones but still one bar. Calls dropped and no service around my house! TMobile needs stronger signals in Lakewood Ranch. Which carrier is the best for zip 34202?

Dropped calls poor to no signal Lakewood ranch.

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?

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.

Horrible reception indoors, great coverage outdoors. Friend has Blackberry from Alltel, reception is still bad indoors.

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.
