I HATE Verizon because they are expensive and support is the worst I have ever had with any business. BUT, they happen to have the best coverage so that's the only reason I use them.

I love the coverage my husband and I have with our phones with Verizon we have traveled all over Lakeland and have never experienced a dropped call or any problems we travel alot so I can't wait to see how it works elsewhere Have been to Orlando and no problems, I am very upset that the cost is what it is... I use to have Sprint not as good coverage at all but I got everything for a lot cheaper. I have a wonderful phone I do miss my blackberry I had with Sprint but I wanted to try something different, I can only use my phone to make calls (limited) and unlimited text but nothing else...

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

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.

T-Mobile is one of the few providers that get any bars on the first floor of my office - and T-Mobile has full bars. It has great coverage throughout the city. I can get calls, emails, internet, etc while my co-workers have nothing and miss call after call (Cingular is worst - they get no bars and callers are told their phone is not in service)

Nextel has very spotty coverage in Polk County. I just changed from Cingular because their charges for roaming were so high on trips to South Carolina. Nextels coverage is way less than Cingular. I get "No Service" in lots of places in Polk County where Cingular had signals. I think Cingular has good coverage, but really vicious billing although I must admit they didn't hit me with early cancellation of $200 because I hadn't actually signed a contract. I'd be interested to know if one of the fixed price cell service providers like Metro has coverage in Polk County.

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&T Was great before Cingular bought them out. Now I get dropped calls, and lots of fast busys when trying to make a call. It has gotten better, but I'm not satisfied anymore. Nextel is even worse. Tin can and wax string works better! Thinking of trying out Verizon if they are any better.

My phone never, ever works inside Scott Lake Elementary, but other staff members can use theirs. At home, if it is raining or cloudy, I have to go outside to use the phone. There are times that the weather seems clear and the phone randomly drops calls or the other person cannot understand me. We are changing our carrier, maybe to Alltel.

Always low bars unless I roam outside and then it may go up to 2 bars. AT&t want $199.00 for a micro cell to boost power using cable access thru Brighthouse. No complaints as to service or reception elswhere.
