I moved to Panama City a month ago (end of October, 2011). At the office, I show the 3G logo but have no bars and I'm lucky to be able to get text messages. A mile away, at home, I can place and receive calls but I haven't been able to send a picture by SMS since I got here.

Att is terrible I have the iphone I dont get any survice at my house or miles around its like I have to go all the way to town to call or send a dumn text message

Since AT&T went 3G in Panama City my reception couldn't be better. My wife even had Verizon while I had AT&T. As soon as AT&T turned on 3G her reception stopped in my home and I could use my phone anywhere in my house, even in the metal building in the back of my house. I was very frustrated with AT&T for a long time however I am pleased they finally have invested in Panama City. Their 3G is amazingly fast, much faster than Verizon's, and being able to surf the web while in a conversation has been awesome, even on my little Propel. Thank you AT&T.

Just had text message saying new tower in my area. Also looked online, and ATT plans 3G for Panama City this year! :)

they are building a new AT&T tower in pc, hopefully we'll be gettig better reception

When I have reception its great, but most of the time I cant get service. I hate that I can't get service inside of my house. ATT was great in kentucky but it sucks in pc

Reception in the house is useless. Reception outside can vary from useless to 4 bars depending on where in the yard you stand. Not having reception in the house is unacceptable.

If you live in the Panama City area, NEVER choose AT&T as your carrier. If you do have AT&T, I hope you jump to another carrier as I soon plan to do. Reception is HORRIBLE. I can barely manage 1 bar within my house, and maybe 3 bars outside of it. Usually I am greeted with less than zero bars (the antenna signal doesn't even appear) and if I try to dial a number, I am rebuked with an "emergency calls only" message! My calls are constantly dropped. I have had over 5 drops within a 10 minute conversation. It is always a gamble whether or not a call will go through, and then beyond that whether or not I can make it through without getting dropped. I have it from a friend who sold cells phones under multiple carriers that Verizon is quite nice... I think maybe I'll give one of their stores a visit soon.

Cingular does NOT work within 5 miles of my house. This is a totally dead spot, not a seam of no-coverage.

I use a Net10 phone which rents towers from differ ent companies in different areas. In Panama City. I think is mostly Cingular but could also be others. I am pleased with the service ( averages $15 / mo for 150 min). But there are two big dead spots. From Star ave. and Old Bicycle Rd to 2297 and from there into Allanton. Also from Star and Hwy. 22 to 2297 and down to Allanton. Reception in Allanton and everywhere else in Panama City Area is great!

I get poor reception on Tyndall AFB, and no reception inside my office. I have to go outside to make a call. Even if I do get through, I am constantly having dropped calls. The worst part is that the calls do not actually disconnect, so you keep eating minutes while not being able to talk. LOUSY CUSTOMER SERVICE!

I get good reception with my phone, but it's unbelievable how often my calls get dropped. It's impossible to maintain a call for longer than 20 minutes. Even a 10 minute phone call is a stretch. What a waste of money... very unsatisfied.

Cingular doesn't seem to be too bad, but the worst place for reception is my house. It's not like I live out in the boonies. I live in the middle of Panama City and my reception is on average about 0 to 1 bars. According to the customer service maps, I should get "good" reception, but reality is far from what is on paper. I think it's also pretty good everywhere else with the exception of inside of Wal-Marts. I probably would give Cingular a higher rating, but not having good reception at home absolutely kills me.
