The phone I beleive is what determines the reception more than the carrier. As I have had cheap phones with AT&T and had no reception at all in this location.
AT&T / Cingular coverage is horrible. I can't get reception inside my house. It drops calls all of the time. I also keep getting the message "emergency calls only" on my phone. I've had my SIM card switched out three times by the store and it hasn't helped. I'm going to switch to T-Mobil or Verizon.
Cingular GSM tower is 4 miles away by CR-210 and the Intracoastal. Other towers by I-95 (5+ miles). Sprint tower 1 mile, but uses 800mhz for PCS and no co-marketing agreement between them.
Little or no reception in the house, outside usually works.
Nextel sucks no matter where you go. Sure you might actually get a call here and there in a major city - and then out of no where they drop... . No coverage in my home, why bother having a phone. OH, and the bleep bleep bleep two way radio is archaic CB nonsense!
