Terrible. Same poor service from FL to VA. Can't believe our clients still want to use us since they might have to endure 4 to 6 dropped calls during any 10-20 minute conversation. Our contract is up and so is our 7 yr patronage to Nextel (now Sprint). FYI: service was not so great before Sprint bought it out, but now most dropped calls are because Sprint got greedy and oversold the capabilities of the limited towers that service Nextel. We are in construction and are joining the hundreds of contractors abandoning Nextel, especially since other plans now offer Push to Talk or phone only plans. Congrats Sprint--you pushed Nextel into the grave!

Sprint's reception is extremely substandard on the Southside of Jacksonville unless you are within a stones throw of a store (sometimes that does not help). I receive less than decent service at home and I roam at UNF. I cannot image roaming at a university with over 15,000 students. I truly believe Sprint does not have a clue.

Have lousey reception- which is a major problem since my cell phone is an important part of my business. Am thinking that it will be worth the $400 penalty for my husband's and my phone to get out of the contract.

Jacksonville, FL 32256 |
Geat service. I travel around the country and it's great. Good thing about Cingular is that it works in other countries. Only Cingular and T-Mobile work out of the country. Even though sometimes I only have two bars, it's still clear!

Dead spots on JTB and 95 around Emerson. Also between Deerwood and Publix on Baymeadows (east of Southside) there is a dead spot. Difficulty getting a signal indoors. I've noticed some folks are able to talk on their phones while in the elevator at the Bank of America location by the Avenues: not sure what their carrier is (different protocol used). All in all I am very happy with Cingular as I travel all around Jacksonville and North Florida: signal strength is normally 4 bars. In turn, I have been on Nextel and Sprint and bother were horrible. T-Mobile and Verizon are also good choices.

First Coast Highschool,
Jacksonville, FL 32218 |
Very poor reception. Without moving I can go from 3 (at best) to 0 bars in just a few minutes time. Dropped calls with T-Mobile service is a common occurence for us, so much so, that my family and friends all know to just wait until I get in my car to drive to find bars before I can call them on the cell again. Called T-Mobile, they have no plans for improvement in the area. Other T-Mobile customers in the area (all 4 of us) HA! Have the same complaint... can't use the cell in our own homes. Neighbors with Cingular can get service ANYWHERE in the area.

Reception sucks in downtown Jacksonville on my phone. Half the time it shows as ROAMING and then I have to dial 1 plus the area code to call anyone!

I live in Shady Pines and my cell phone often changes to roaming inside my own home. At least I get service at home. At work, off of 103rd and I-275, I rarely even get roaming. Bottom line: It's not just Cingular with bad connections. I have Verizon.

I have been using Cingular for many, many years now and very rarely have a problem. And when I do, I call in and they get it fixed in a matter of a day or two. I switched to the new high speed broadband system and use the video feature a lot. I find it very entertaining and the reception always works no matter if i'm inside my home or out walking the dog. highly recommend Cingular if you are having a problem with your carrier. my wife had Verizon and was having terrible service especially at home. she switched to cingualr when I upgraded to the blackjack and we both are very happy...

Signal drops significantly between I-95 and 5 points on Riverside Avenue. It's done this for years.

I always drop calls at this intersection. Coverage around the rest of Jacksonville is good for the most part.

Compared to my friends and family, Sprint, with this phone does a tremendous job. After owning several Motorola POS phones, I can say that the equipment *does make a difference*.

Collins and Rampart 1 / 2 Mile From Gas Station,
Jacksonville, FL 32244 |
Can get a signal at the house usually a 3 or 4 bar until you press send then it goes down. 90% of time we get disconnected. Cingular sent new sim card and it didn't do a single thing. Tried boosters and they don't work either. It's never the same, one time you can get a signal standing on your head in the kitchen, the other day not. Cingulars Billing is absolulty crazy. I had to call them every month for the first 7 month because they were trying to bill me for something like going over my minute because they charged me for Mobile to mobile. Or charging roaming fee's for checking your voice mail. I have good service most placed in West side / OP area but not in Walmart or some spots on base. Watch their billing they are sneaky!

When at home I have to keep my phone on roaming to get any chance of a signal. All other cell providers get a great signal. Sprint replaced my phone but the signal of course did not improve. I have about 4 towers within 2 miles of my apartment, does not matter. I miss a lot of calls. I have become the customer from Hell. Although it does have its advantages, I can always tell someone I didn't have my phone on roaming so I missed their call. It's pretty bad when you are calling Sprint and the call is dropped. It's funny how I was two miles OFF the coast and I had a full signal with no roaming. Things that make you think... .

St Augustine Rd. | Caron,
Jacksonville, FL 32258 |
Work forced a Nextel Blackberry model #POS on me. I shopped for my personal phone for some time (Consumer Reports, this site, forums, blah, blah... ). My Verizon is GREAT. Of course, compared to the Nextel, anything is better, but the Motorola 815 / Verizon is great! Short story: Razor TOO small, Motorola E815 top of list, Verizon 'Best Service', online deal for phone, easy number transfer, works without having to run to driveway, fun to play with (hacks on the way)... .. Live in Mandarin, work in World Golf Vill., all good.

Phone constantly drops calls. Will have full antena then nothing at all. This is inside and outside of the house. I have to keep moving or I loose call. Cingular keeps saying its my phone. But friends in the area have different phones and they have the same problem. One Cingular customer service said that we have old towers in the Arlington area and thats the problem. My OLD Nokia phone that does not have GSM always has a full antena and never drops a call, so old towers could be the problem we are having in the Arlington area.
