The reception is variable. Often I have a few bars, often just one, and often none, all while the phone just sits there on the coffee table not moving. Is it the wind or something? Aliens? When it goes out, it can be for 5 minutes or for 45 minutes or more. Whenever the phone rings, I run upstairs just in case it wants to cut out while I'm talking. Upstairs I have a better chance of getting bars, but even then sometimes I get nothing. If I work at home, I have to work upstairs in my bedroom to minimize the risk of missing work calls. Texts will show up late and sometimes I'll get voicemails late. Driving out of the neighborhood on Tarpon, service usually drops completely for a while, but comes back once you get on Atlantic. I have only a cell phone so this arrangment kind of doesn't work. Thinking of switching to AT&T because if this site is correct, they are the only ones with towers on the island.

Poor between A1A and Citrona Dr. on Jasmine

Poor quality inside house, better outside in driveway. Number of bars changes during the day / night. Frustrating!

I have great reception here near Amelia Island! AT&T seems to be the only carrier that has somewhat good coverage here. My sister has Verizon and is getting dropped calls and voicemails from which she never got a phone call... etc. I know AT&T isn't perfect but at this time, this location... ..they work.

Was a former Alltel customer (Verizon bought Alltel) and never had a reception problem down there while visiting. This past week - 0 - 1 bars. No calls came through nor could I call out. This line is used for business so I was out of touch with not only children but business. Not a good situation. I made 4 service calls to Verizon when I went towards town, with no change in the status. My parents are on Ocean and have good ATT coverage. Maybe that is the answer?

Have to go outside on south side of condos to get reception, but it seems to be the case with everyone in neighborhood.

Very poor reception on island except downtown and midtown (By Publix). I work in people's homes, so I go all over. I used less than 100 minutes last month because I could never get a signal when I needed it. Only one bar in the house.

Transfered from Cingular to Verizon due to poor reception and other issues re. Billing. At the Verizon store their reps assured me of much better signal strength / coverage in my area with their service and the Motorola phone and my wifes Nokia. My Verizon service is marginally better than Cinguar at my home (sometimes 1 bar versus 0 bars). After contacting Verizon service, for not receiving calls but many voice mails, (phone never rings around my house) the Verizon service rep informed me that my specific area is considered as "probable coverage" outside and no coverage inside dwellings. Great, I need to stand in the street to maybe get 0 to 1 bars. However, on the road, I get reasonably good reception in and around this area, assuming I stay out of the beach area. Almost impossible on Amelia Island. I would like to hear some up to date inputs on other wireless suppliers who service this area. Cingular / ATT, Nextel, etc. Thanks for proving this forum for frustrated wireless users.

Good reception at our house, but not at the 3000 block of Fletcher, where my husband works.

We see all of our neighbors out at the curb

Travel frequently to Jax. Too many interrupted calls to comment on, no help from 5 Star Cellular or Nextel over the service problems. Recently told it could be my battery, ordered a new one and am awaiting delivery. Looking for input on new provider since I am sick of lack of service. Love the radio service, it works wonderfully when the phone stays on.

Awful service, 0 -1 signal bar. Never can find a place to stand and talk. Very difficult to conduct a business without cell phone reception!.
