San Carolos Park area, Fort Myers, Florida I have a Verizon air card for my laptop. For the past TWO years (contract up end of this month) I've never had a good experience receiving coverage. It takes 5 minutes (to two hours) to load a page. I see they have good ratings elsewhere but not here, believe me. Was on this website looking to see where to turn next. I need a connection that will work and thus far have spent $60 / month for the last two years on next to nothing. AT&T says it will give me 30 days to decide (returns accepted) so perhaps I'll give it that a go. Glad this website is here for sharing what can be a great savings on time and money.
The area around Healthpark Hospital is terrible, the housing community I live in, Sail Harbor at Healthpark has 0 bars, you can not get a signal in any of the homes in Sail Harbor. I'm sorry I ever left AT&T, AT&T 4 bars, Alltel 4 Bars. Sprint 0 bars, no service.
Sprint coverage in this area of Ft. Myers is dismal or worse non existant. I could have left my phone in the box it came in. As an aside, I received a call at Ft. Myers beach from Sprint asking how I liked their phone and service and in the middle of our converstation I lost the signal. Sprint never called back--typical.
Calls drop constantly in our home. My husband must goes outside to answer his phone. Our $169. per month overpriced service through Verizon is definately not worth it. They are not very customer friendly when you talk to them about service. Our other phone is a LG envie and we have no problems with that one.
Sprint is TERRIBLE... My son and I are both stuck under my Sprint contract and the service is bad in our home, when I visit family in the cape or when we go up to Providence Rhode Island. We always have the worst reception of whoever we are with with other service providers... they also have very bad customer service... I can't wait til my contract is gone to get another service immediately!
Great reception! I have never had any problem with the Verizon. Had Cingular and got terrible reception--they blamed Hurricane Charley, but it never improved--for 2 years. I counted down the days until I could switch.
I have had Verizon ever since the box phones. I have never had a problem in Florida or for a matter of fact anywhere that I have travel. The only place I have had a problem is Petersburg MI and it is only in the town. I would recommend Verizon to anyone.
Can rarely make or receive calls inide of house. Constant roaming on Verizon tower and not allowed to make any outgoing calls on Verizon tower. Called Alltel and was told they have no plans to install any towers that would help the reception in this area. Also was told nearest tower was 2.7 miles which I should be getting excellent signal, but tower may not be facing this way and cannot be fixed. Another note my other phone Motorola v710 gets 1 or 2 bars better, but still drops cals constantly. I did notice a AT&T / Cingular tower in my immediate area, and woder why Alltell will not roam on this tower, too bad. Maybe I will try AT&T / Cingular and give Alltel the boot. Alltel if you read this and want my business, fix this problem ASAP.
