90% of calls will fail to go through or fail during the call when inside my home. I dropped a call 3 times today on SW 8th within 5 minutes- The ATT "network" in my area is fecal material.

I had great service except for the last 3 weeks. Drops calls. No bars one minute and 2 the next. Only at home. When I get out of this area I have 4 bars. Had new sim card put in. Still same problem. Was told they may be working on tower.

I get drop call a lot. Sometimes, I don't even hear the phone rings and it goes straight to my voicemail. When I'm in call, I can't even hear the conversation. The signal gets drops off all the time.

Verizon has the best signal in town as far as I can tell. I have friends who have sprint, AT&T and t-mobile, and they always have problems where we live. I also travel a lot and Verizon has a very good to excellent signal anywhere I go in the US or Canada.

I like T Mobile. They have good, straightforward customer service. The only real problem I have is when I'm driving through williston I don't get service again until Dunnellon. I just pretend I am driving back 20 years ago when cell phones didn't exist, and I turn up my radio. I've used nextel, Sprint and cellular one and their customer service had me ripping out my hair; and there always seemed to be some catch to their contracts. In the 5 years I've used T Mobile, I have been very satisfied.

I have had no problems with reception anywhere in Gainesville. I occasionally get a dropped call in the VA hospital, but not often. I have 3 bars at home in the NW. My major complaint about Sprint is that the sales department is relentless. I receive either a call or a text about about promotions monthly. If I screen the call and don't answer, they will call every single day at the same time. I finally called back and asked to be taken off the call list--the sales rep said he'd make a note on my account, then tried to sell me something before hanging up... .and I received yet another promotion call 3 days later. I find it intrusive and annoying--especially when I'm receiving calls and texts during working hours. I'd love to switch providers, but based on comments here, I don't see any others with good reception in Gainseville :(

Archer Rd. / All Gainesville, Gainesville, FL 32607 Thu Jun 24, 2010

I have had service with US Cellular which became Cingular and now became AT&T. I have had amazing service since 2001, but the last 2 months have been poor and that's being generous. Constant dropped calls along Archer Road. Have a conversation, gets staticky (sp), drops call with no signal, takes a few minutes to reboot, then full signal. Dropped my call 3 times in 2 mile period. Does this all over town too. may be leaving after these poor 2 months

can't get reception on my property, and we're right in the middle of gainesville! Certainly cannot walk and talk. 4th phone I've tried, and I just can't stand T-Mobile anymore.

Archer, SW 2nd Ave., Gainesville, FL 32601 Wed Jun 02, 2010

For the past two weeks, AT&T has spotty connections through out Archer road. At any time, it shows full signal, becomes almost none and then disconnects. Then got to call again to get full signal. Even on SW 2nd ave, where I used to get good signal for the past 4 years, the reception is becoming worse and worse every day! Am I the only one getting spotty connections on Archer (primarily around Shands stretch) and SW ?

T-Mobile has the WORST reception in Gainesville. (just look at the other reviews). I also have had to put my phones on the windowsill. I say phones because I gave T-Mobile a chance. I purchased MANY phones and NONE worked in acquiring / holding a signal. I would have to exit my shop, sit on the airconditioner outside and hold the phone down by my waist until I received a signal. Then I would dial the number and then could put it up to my ear. I could NEVER seem to walk and talk at the same time. I always had to make sure I was in a small hot spot and use the phone. I had hardly any bars anywhere. 60 out of 100 calls were dropped or lost. If you like phone breaking headache and frustration then this is the service for you! If not... . Go to Sprint. They have the best reception in Gainesville. Have a nice day!

Works great where I work and at home - way out on Archer Rd. Love the iPhone - 3G and cell service is great in Gainesville except at Royal Park area, that seems to be the only dead zone. Had Alltel before and it dropped calls quite a bit.

Just West of Plaza Royale, Gainesville, FL 32607 Tue Aug 25, 2009

AT&T's coverage great everywhere in town except where I live. Inside my new condo just west of Royal Park / Plaza Royale I get poor reception. I have to lurk by a window and remain motionless to get a 2nd bar. Calls constantly fade in and out. Calls get dropped. There were murmurings about putting a tower at Westside Park which would help out that Newberry / 8th Ave. semi-dead zone. Email your commissioners today! Also, I have spotty service west of High Springs at my father's place. He has a metal roof, though. Walking outside keeps the call from getting dropped. When they lowered the cell phone signal strength wattages, a lot of the mobility left mobile phones.

Would love my service except for not being able to use in everywhere in my house. It's only consistent on my porch, which is a drag in the winter. Think it makes a difference that my phone is old? Would a newer phone make a difference in reception?

I have Boost, which I understand uses Nextel towers. Reception is usually ok in town, but not so good outside of town.
