Rampart Blvd.& Collins Rd., Jacksonville, FL 32244

Constantly dropped calls, set phone down on table and not move it and it can go from 1 bar to none to 1 bar to none. Outside of the house is not much better, one bar.

Jacksonville, Jacksonville, FL 32225

Nextel is the worst in Jacksonville. I just moved here from Gainesville with my Nextel phone and I rarely get reception at work, or driving anywhere. The worst thing is I can't get reception at home. Also, nothing is more frustrating then trying to talk to someone on direct connect when you can 't get a signal. All you get is that annoying beep when it doesn't go through.

I'm very happy with Cingular's coverage all over Jacksonville. I have homes in Orange Park and Ponte Vedra and work in Southside - very rarely find myself with poor coverage.

1 Out of 5 Sprint

I-295 | San Jose Blvd., Jacksonville, FL 32223

Calls go to VM without ever being received on phone- not reflected in "missed messages" or "incoming messages". VM takes up to ten minutes to post to mailbox. Sometimes notice of VM message received, sometimes VM are in mailbox with no notification. Signal varies from good to non-existent for no rhymn or reason throughout Duval. Contract up next month and I'm outta there- no more Sprint for me.

2 Out of 5 AT&T

Wonderwood and Gately Oaks | Girvin Rd.& Atlantic, Jacksonville, FL 32225

Ok, here's the skinny on reception in Girvin Road. It is horrible no matter the carrier due to the swamp, the landfill and the where it is located in the flight pattern. We experienced signal flux no matter who we were with (my family has had service with all the carriers listed above while living in this area. They all have had poor service in this area of town, They all dropped calls on Girvin.). This not a reflection on the carriers but rather the location. Yes, it is a frustrating situation. I travel the entire width of Jacksonville and have found over the past five years that Cingular has the most consistent service. They also perform well in the less populated areas along the road to Gainesville and Pensacola. T-Mobile also performs well. However, T-Mobile does suffer from signal flux along the intercostals between Mayport and Fernandina. This is not good if you are using your cell phone as a safety precaution while at our state parks.

Woodbridge Subdivision Julington Creek, Jacksonville, FL 32259

Today is 5 / 26. Signal was fine 2 - 3 bars until 5 / 19. Now only 1-2 until I try to make a call then 0-1 bars, mostly 0 bars, conversation breaks up, miss 1 / 2 of the words. Called Cingular on 5 / 24 - said for some reason my phone did not recieve a recent software update. asked me to turn my phone off and on and off. Then asked me to turn it on and leave it on all night so software could be downloaded. Problem still exists. Will call them again. Wish me luck!

4 Out of 5 Verizon

Riverside | Fuller Warren Bridge, Jacksonville, FL 32204

Verizon Wireless has the best reception in my opinion. I've had Alltel before too and I had good cell reception from Alltel at work (Riverside area) but decent cell reception at home (Westside area). With my LG-VX6000 cell phone on the Verizon Wireless network, I can usually get 4 bars both at work and at home.

I have a treo 650 smartphone with Cingular but it drops my call everytime I drive down Girvin Rd. going towards atlantic blvd. I seem to have this problem all in this area of Jacksonville. Also, reception is absolutley horrible while in the downtown area. My Mom and Sister have the same problems with cingular. We are seriously thinking about switching to Verizon.

4 Out of 5 T-Mobile

Arlington Area, Jacksonville, FL 32225

I want to compliment T-Mobile. (Wow, someone saying something good?!) I've had my service for a year now and get really good perception even in places where others don't! I have my spots but it's due mostly to the military where I work and not T-Mobile. It's a little choppy going over the intercoastal bridges but it doesn't drop off.

Old Hickory and Atlantic Blvd. | San Jose and Crown Point, Jacksonville, FL 32207

Like others, I get fairly good reception in the car or outside. When I go inside, I only have one or two locations where I can talk. Also, as an aside, do not buy the Blackberry I own. I am on my 3rd replacement, and am on the phone right this minute demanding an upgrade or I will leave T-Mobile. It is even worth it to me to pay the $200.00 cancellation fee.

0 Out of 5 Nextel

Near UPS Hub | North West of Pritchard and Jones Rd., Jacksonville, FL 32219

I've had Nextel for a few years now and at first it was great but it seems that since the fall of 2004 it has slide downward to awful. Now not only do I experience "NO SERVICE" all around town but I've been dropping calls all over town too and it's never in the same spot from week to week except near my home northwest of pritchard, where I'm lucky if I can make a call and luckier if I can finish the call before I get dropped.

Collins | Blanding, Jacksonville, FL 32244

I have Sprint PCS and the reception in the house is "H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E"... .my husband is disgusted by having to go outside to take his calls... .I could be sitting on my couch in the same position talking to someone and God forbid I turn my head the signal fades... .It looks like I may switch to Verizon or Nextel... .Digital / Analog roam constantly pop up on my phone... ... not sure what Sprint can do about it but I'll be 1 less customer off their network.

I was on Sprint's service for a while and once they had the tower constructed in the area, service was excellent. I am on Cingular now and back in the previous boat, reception is below acceptable quality. I am not happy with the Motorola V220, calls drop with cut-out and charging problems.

Service inside buildings is extremely bad to none at all. My phone regularly roams to other carriers (I even had Sprint reimburse me for the charges). I have called Sprint on this several time with no solution.

San Jose Blvd. | S. Granada Blvd., Jacksonville, FL 32207

In the neighborhood, I only get 3-4 bars; however, my calls are never dropped. Others I know who have other services (T-Mobile, Cingular, Sprint... ) continually have dropped calls. Even though service is just ok, I would recommend Verizon over all the other carriers.

1 Out of 5 Alltel

Julington Forest Subdivision | Julington Creek Rd., Jacksonville, FL 32258

With Alltel I rarely get more than 1 bar of service, and 10-12 dropped calls monthly from calls inside the home. Cingular usually has 2-3 bars in the same places. Other than this area of Mandarin, Alltel service in Jacksonville is quite good, with more even coverage than Cingular.

4 Out of 5 Sprint

Forsyth St. | Laura St., Jacksonville, FL 32204

I go to Baymeadows everyday to work. Baymeadows area, I have about 2 bars, which works fine for me. Downtown, I always have 3-4 bars outside, if I'm inside buildings downtown, I can have anywhere from 1-3 bars. Some buildings are better than others. Riverside (where I live), I have the worst reception when your inside (it's great outside), but no other companies are much better inside of any buildings in that area. Northside and Arlington, I have great reception. Beaches and Westside is fair. I can have my phone in my back pocket and it almost always has reception and I don't have any problems getting my voicemail a couple of minutes after the person has called if I'm out of my service area.

Reception is not very good in the East Arlington area. I also get a lot of dropped calls during rush hour. I have no signal downtown Jax while at work, unless I go outside of buildings. Verizon is what I'm looking at now or Cingular.

Lem Turner Rd. | I 95, Jacksonville, FL 32208

This is my first expereince with Nextel. What a waste of money. I have never experienced reception as bad as I have with Nextel. The City provides me a work cell phone, but it has proven to be pretty worthless. I carry a Verizon phone to assure reception. It is not uncommon that I receive my Nextel voicemail three or four days after they are left for me. If you don't like receiving cellular calls, Nextel is the one for you.
