No issues with signal strength, data transfers or dropped calls. Full data package on both phones used extensively for work and play. Used all over Lakeland, Florida and Caribbean.
Very poor reception. No bars. No fast EV-DO data. Phone often roams. Checked and updated phone. Complained to Verizon. They admit service here is poor, but are not planning any changes.
I have metro PCS and anywhere I go in the Lakeland area my phone works all the time. I never have drop calls at all ! Only thing is that metro is local service provider. I hope that soon that they will have more metro towers in outside areas
Phone goes from 3-4 bars to none often. Had first iPhone in early 08 and got good reception. Thank God for Bluetooth or I couldn't use it in my apartment. AT&T sucks!
At this particular intersection, I get no service, and my calls usually get dropped. Otherwise, I can't hear the conversation until I get about 1 / 2 mile down the road. I've had ATT for 3 years and this is the only place I have a problem. Elsewhere, I get great coverage.
Switched from Alltel and now get excellent coverage inside Publix. 2 weeks now with AT&T and no dropped calls, excellent reception in the Lakeland area. No complaints with Alltel after 5 years, AT&T offered a better plan and phone.
No reception inside the building. Sprint and Verizon users can make calls, I can't ! very frustrating, and if my phone does ring and I answer it inside the building (happened twice) it promptly drops the call hanging up on the person calling me.
Terrible coverage all throughout Lakeland basically. For as large of a network as At&T is, I am shocked at their pitiful coverage in the downtown Lakeland area. I'm right near the main S. Florida drag and I get 1-2 bars everywhere which cuts my signal and reception in and out. People I call HATE it, they never hear me fully. It delays, echos, and cuts out constantly. The only road I get a good full reception on is parts of Orange Street. As soon as I make a turn, down it goes from full bars to 1 or 2 again. Another thing to mention is I thought the quality of the phone (smartphone HTC tild) would help, but honestly my old LG that I got for free with an upgrade was better. Steer clear of At&T in Lakeland!
