In this area my reception is great, I never drop calls or never have less that 2 bars. And I cant wait until MetroPCS brings 3G or EVDO or I think its 4G but either way my internets going to be faster.

I am always full on bars and have never had a problem in this location.

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.

Not one dropped call in past twelve months. Reception excellent.

Use Alltel 6 months in Flrodia and 6 months in Wisconsin - perfect both places. A Note... .Was told that cell towers are mainly built along major roads - if you need good service - find a major road.

Have had Alltel since the GTE days. Have also had almost every other carrier through work and been all over SW Florida. No carrier is perfect but Alltel is by far the best overall. Works inside buildings and more importantly inside my home which allowed me to get rid of my home phone. What good is a phone you have to go outside to use, especially during rainy season down here? I find the commercials of some carriers funny who brag about there networks (Cingular, Verizon), as that definately does not apply in this area (especially Cingular). Would definately recommend Alltel as the best carrier in this area.

I have had Alltel for more years than I care to admit to. My first phone was the old bag phone. I have traveled all over Lee County in my job and used my Alltel phones. Never did I have trouble making a call or have a call dropped. Even on Sanibel, I could get good reception on my phone. Currently I have both a Motorala flip phone and a Kyocera phone. When ever we have traveled, the phones have worked flawless. I would recommend Alltel to anyone. I get full service inside my home on both phones.

This area used to be prone to no service or dropped calls but now it is much better along Alico Rd.from ben Hill Griffin rd all the way to Lee Rd. Looks like Nextel is now using the tower behind the red Barn on Alico, as well as the tower on FGCU.

My Nextel phone used to be unusable in the FGCU arena but now it works great. I think that Nextel is now using the tower on campus. Reception along Ben Hill Griffin is much better too.

This area for Nextel used to be barely usable but since mid December it is now pretty much full bars all the way from Lee Rd to Three Oaks Parkway. Much improved!

T-mobile is the perfect carrier anyway you look at it, I've had it for years now, only a few dropped calls, but the thing that makes up for that is their customer service, no-one can match those guys, they help me out every time I have a question / problem.

Good coverage for calls, e-mail,and internet by Google Great Phone

Rarely have calls dropped on my end. Search internet with no problem even in my concrete condo building.

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.

Much improved reception in San Carlos Park- US 41 north of Corkscrew is much better as well as the interior of SCP along Sanibel Blvd. A year ago I could not recommend Nextel but in the past several months it has improved much better, and is now among the best of the cellular services in San Carlos Park area.

Sometime it work sometime it dont. To many droped calls

Reception is good unless the tower goes out in a hurricane!

Major highways all over the country ok. In towns, suburbs problematic.

Outside Reception 3-4 Bars Inside Reception 1-2 Bars Must be outside or near window to avoid dropped call. According to map, there is no cell phone tower close by.

Overall reception is unsatisfactory, especially in the home, too many dropped calls. There the most I get is 2 bars, sometimes only 1. Disgusting! At times it will alert me that I have a message, when it never even rang! One time my cell alerted me that I had a message, when I checked to see who called, it was a message from a friend who was sitting right in my livingroom. The alert came ONE hour later. It was proof to my friend how lousy reception is in Gateway. Am changing carriers!
