Sprint coverage area shows "fair / good coverage" in chipley, however, there is only "roaming" coverage with 1-2 bars. The areas on "their" map that do say roaming, are actually DEAD ZONES. If you do get a signal / roaming you will get an Alltell message and can not place the call. I contacted Sprint today, and they stated that there is a tower less than 1 / 2 mile from my home. There is nothing they can do about lack of coverage, and if I left Sprint, there would be "no hard feelings". Problem is, buyer beware, they false advertise their coverage areas... ...
I've lived through the changes from United Cellular, AT&T Wireless, Bell South, and back to AT&T Wireless and the signal has stayed the same since At&T first took over. Signal strength ranges from 2 bars to full depending on where I am in the house but 4 bars average any where around here. On the way to Panama City it seems all carriers lose signal around Merial Lake on Hwy. 77. Need a tower in that location. Unlike many others I'm impressed with AT&T in and around Panama City and all way to Miami on the Interstate and Turnpike. Signal is excellent in Miami areas.
When ATT first took over cingular, the signal was great. But for the last few weeks it has gone to nothing. No signal in Washington county unless you are extremely close to the tower on Holmes Valley road.
When I first went to Nextel a few years back, I didn't have any trouble, rarely was there an area I didn't have some bars, but since Sprint and Nextel combined... .forget it... I have to step outside of the house to keep a phone call or to beep anyone, plus there are quite a few areas between here and the Alabama line and on the way to Panama City my phone cuts in and out, specially near Hwy. 20
There aren't any towers to service the Washington County area or surrounding counties North of Bay County. Reception may be better closer to Chipley or Mariana, Florida but I doubt it.
