At the house, the reception varies randomly and widely. Pretty much anywhere in town, for that matter. Sometimes takes me between 2-6 hours to receive a text message or voicemail alert. Call breakups and drops can happen at any moment for no apparent reason. It totally mystifies me that Nextel / Sprint have gotten away with having such useless service for so long. I made the mistake of leaving AT&T for the two-way to use at work. I left that job, and about to break the contract, to go back to AT&T, which I never had an issue with here in Jacksonville, FL STAY AWAY!

Live in the Waterlesf subdivision, Atlantic and Kernan. No bar inside the house, but usually enough to send a text. Walking outside is a little better. Has been this way since I first tried to switch to Verizon from AT&T in 2009. My household uses AT&t and T-Mobile service where we have no dead spots inside the house. Hopefully, Verizon puts up another tower soon.

Cannot get reception in my home. Have to stand out in the street in Durbin Crossing development. AT&T needs towers in areas where there is substantial builidng and growth off County Rd.210. Frustrating.

need better service from Sprint for the price we have to pay

NO T-Mobile signal, waste of using T-mobile, please do not go for T-mobile.

I flew from VA down to FL for a business trip. I called home several times and family member on other end told me that the caller id said IL number... WTF? Also, there was a 15-20 second delay between my sentences for the person on the other end of the line to hear me. U.S. Cellular isn't FL friendly by any means.

Perfect reception... I get good reception inside of the apartment and outside. Never had a problem with the phone reception since I came to Jacksonville, FL.

Usually no bars. Inside max on either phone or air-card is 1 bar but it drops to no bars it the wind blows (yeah, that's a joke, but the signal strength is the truth). Outside usually 1 bar, on a lucky day jumps around between 1 to 2 bars. The closest Sprint tower is at NAS JAX, next closest is at JAX airport. Sprint store told me "too bad for you". Some kind of service, huh?

I've had AT&T for many years (Since they bought out Cellular One) and they have made many Great improvements with their coverage. 17 years ago there service was poor here where I live. Now they have installed a new Tower at the corner of Chaffee and Normandy and never had a drop call or no service since. While my one friend has been here many times with many different carriers for service and none of them would work here. He would have to walk across the street to make or receive a call. He finally gave up and switched to AT&T. I have traveled from Fl to Pa many times with usable service all the way. They don't have the best prices but I do believe they do have the best service across the USA.

at home bars fluctuate from 0-2 usually. reception is fine when there are bars, some areas not able to dial or send text. on beach blvd reception is great, 4 bars. prepaid has terrible reception at home, using Samsung no-fancy flip phone.
