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.

Only get reception near the windows or in the elevator lobbies. Cuts off in the elevator of course!

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

Ever since ATT has taken over Cingular, I have at least half of my calls dropped everyday around Gainesville. It doesn't matter where I am at, on Campus or by the mall or on the Interstate or at home, my calls will eventually get dropped. It is not that phone either because I had it replace three times and the sim card changed twice to see if that was the problem of dropped calls. It wasn't. So that just leaves AT&T's network. Unfortunately, all my friends and family have Cingular and we get free calls to each other. And if I change companies I will lose all that free time. That and the company that does have decent coverage in Gainesville is Verizon but there is something funky with their system where your phone will not ring and you will get a voice mail a day later.

OK in most areas of town but around my home neighborhood very poort, in my houe varies between no bars and 1 bar most of the time and often drops calls.

At home in Sorrento, I had to leave the phone by the window to ensure I got calls. Service outside the hosue was better but still with dropped calls. I had the 'window reception' problem at work as well with needing to leave the phone by my office window on NW 4th St.in downtown Gainesville.

My reception is terrible at my house near Haile Plantation in Wilds Plantation. My reception at my office on SW Archer rd near their stor is also terrible. I have complained and they just tell me they do not guarantee service inside a building.

At least 60% of all my calls are dropped in gainesville each day... .very unfortunate. if it isn't dropped then I lose enough reception to where I can't hear anything. No reception and always drops calls on nw 16th ave near nw 34th street

Sometimes Verizon works well but sometimes, in my backyard in downtown Gainesville (Pleasant St.Neighborhood) I get no reception. All the time I won't receive notice of missed calls or received messages for hours. Sometimes until the next day. Customer service at store near Archer and SW 34th St.is deplorable. I strongly recommend not getting this service.

Reception very poor my area, in my house especially. Dead Zone on NW 8th Ave., Royal Park Area, much of UF Campus Basically, really bad. I only stick with them because of the iPhone. I do not understand how their service can be so poor given the number of towers in the immediate area.
