Amazing Service! The guy at the Alltel store in Ocala had told me that all the towers in the area had been upgraded to EvDo technology, and that the Internet on my phone would be lightning fast. At first, I was very skeptical, then I took the phone out and about to see exactly what I was getting myself in to. We all know that these companies are serious about the trial period! Low and behold, its been phenomenal! I'm saving over 50% from my Nextel Blackberry, have service when and where I need it, and Alltel has My Circle! I couldn't ask for a better experience!
TracFone - Reselling Cingular service. GSM coverage extreemly good in most areas. Very weak signal in only spotty rural areas as well as areas inside Paddock Mall (Big building - to be expected). Connection and conversation still maintained. Only "no signal" occured inside Paddock Mall. Once I powered the phone off and back on, I immediatly got nearly full signal strength.
I pretty much get really good coverage inside my house and around the area but there are spotty areas throughout the city. Overall it sounds like there's not to many companies to choose from because everyone has a problem in one area or another. For me right now T-Mobile to working but it does drop calls every now and again.
I have used Sprint for over 6 yrs. In the beginning I had fair to good reception in the Ocala area, but not when traveling. Sprint has been busy! The last three yrs have seen a great improvement in their coverage across the US! Just wish they would offer their long time customers a nice break on phones like they do for new customers! Overall recommendation for phone service 9 of 10!
Sprint service is largely acceptable. My cell phone is my only phone so I need it to work. I recently found a dead area out HWY 27 towards Williston which I hadn't noticed before. Reception is below average to poor in many larger commercial type buildings. Personally, I don't mind this so much. Dropped calls are not too bad but do occur from time to time. Service is quite good into the Orlando and Tampa areas. Also, a dead zone exists in the Ocalal National Forest (which you might expect). Overall, I have used Sprint in three states over the past six years and would recommend it.
I use my Sprint phone as my only phone and I rarely have any problems anywhere. I have had my phone and service for over 2 years and it has been the same the whole time. During the hurricanes of the last 2 years I never lost service at all.
I'm not sure about the model number of the phone, but I've been very happy with the performance of this phone and Virgin Mobile. I've had very few dropped calls, and almost always have signal just about anywhere in the Ocala area.
On my phone I normally have 4 to 1 bar in my house the coverage I am getting is AT&T s 3G network which FINALLY came to slocala. But my dad has the Motorola razor V3xx and always have 5 bars lol. Normally on my cell when I come closer into town around my school and the mall I have better coverage and I normally get 5 - 4 bars
