Never any dropped calls in this area. I get perfect reception inside my house. I only have reception problems in Safety Harbor, but so do most carriers. I am a former Sprint customer-happy I switched.

AT&T has very good reception across the Tampa Bay area, even across the many long bridges.

Almost always good reception at work, around lots of computers. One mile west on Belleair, at home, often no reception inside. I have fairly good reception along I275 and I75 corridor. Just off interstate, often not much.

Spring towers are up and down, indoor reception seems to always be an issue, towers seem subject to weather more than other carriers. When it works its great, but if you need reliable service at all times, Sprint will probably let you down.

After way too many years of poor reception, billing for additional services we didn't ask for, lousy support and numerous and frequent dropped calls, it's time for my family to drop AT&T. Would have done so long ago but employer (Pinellas County) has a "deal" with them. Some deal. Many people we talk to in Pinellas and in Hillsborough have the same problems with AT&T.

upgraded to new plan with data and Android etc and lost the capability to even talk / they send "free" microcell with the promise of " 5000 ft range" and its more like 30ft range... now we have to come home and turn on router and cell etc just to use the phone from the office area only... ... call tech support and they refer us to their maps saying they have full coverage... .they must be democrats for the amount of BS they are shovelling at me.

I usually get 1 bar except in unusual circumstances when I get 2 bars on a handset with an external antenna. On a handset with only an internal antenna I get 1 bar or no service most of the time.

GSM reception is spotty varying between none and 2 bars whithin 100 meters. There are 4 cell towers withing visual range of this area. Often I must manually select a T-Mobile tower for service. I'm on Cingular and use an unlocked and unbranded Motorola V635 quad band handset.

Every time I make a call, it is dropped at some point. It also happens at Bryan Dairy / Starkey. I now make a point to tell people when I call them, that they may be dropped. Going ahead and paying the $200 to get out of the contract and find a different carrier with better reception in the area!
