Metro PCS service together is horrible low reception internet problems plain out TERRIBLE!

I've been living in Coquina Key, St. Petersburg for two years and have had terrible cell phone reception, whether in the house or outside. Previously, living in Seminole, my reception was perfect and used my cell phone as my only phone. My new smartphone has a weather app that automatically detects what city you are in, and seems to think I'm in Apollo Beach or Ruskin, which is across the bay from me..which means that the local signal is so weak that sometimes I'm getting the signal from across Tampa Bay. I get constant fluctuations of 0-3 bars, often within a few seconds time span, but usually only 0-1 bar. Calls get garbled and drop frequently.

Coverage varies... .but generally it is 3 bars occasionally... but more often 2 bars... .once in a while, with a good "rabbit ears" type of gyrating with the phone pverhead and turning, I might get 4bars, briefly.

Phone no longer works while in my house..It use to, but no longer. No bars showing. When someone calls me, it says call is being forwarded to an anserwing device. It worked all summer, but now it doesn't

The last few months service has gotten progressively worse. Constant dropped calls, static, dead zones. Very annoying. This is with 3 different kinds of phones... not just blackberry. Becoming very unhappy with At&t.

I know some homes are old down here so the fact that cement is blocking most of my signal, I get it, its not Verizon its my home. I moved from New York with VZW and never had an issue there. Here its kinda bad to okay. If I go outside and walk around for a bit then it gets better but in the house its pretty bad. Anytime I travel; however, the service could not get better. I get 8 bars (that's right 8) and for not being a smart phone it gets going pretty fast.

I am regularly roaming in my area on Sprint. Often times, people call me and don't get VM but instead get a recording as if the phone has been disconnected. Was MUCH better with Verizon. Considering checking into TMobile.

Cannot make calls from inside house or close to house outside. Have to walk into the street -- and even then the calls drop. Love my phone, but service is horrible. I think I'll give Verizon a try when my contract is up in a few months.

Have to find that sweet spot in the house to make or recieve calls... .

My T-Mobile downtown saint pete coverage is horrible. At home I go 4-8 hours without reception with 1-3 hours of reception inbetween blackouts. Red Mesa Cantina I get no reception that whole block either 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time is because I got on the 3rd floor rooftop and danced around for reception. Driving off from Publix on 3rd AVE S. I had no reception. God save me that I don't have a heart attack while home or nearby in downtown St. Pete. Paramedics will see me dead with a phone clinched in my hands and laugh thinking what a dumb ass not to call 911.

I have tested the service in all areas of my home and outdoors. Unfortunately all calls drop within seconds.

I had TMOBILE under a corporate plan for 6 years but left the company. I picked out a new phone with VERIZON and it didn't last 6 days with me... HORRIBLE reception, texts would go thru, texts would be received under another persons name. I switched back to TMOBILE..didnt know how good I had it. My only gripe is lack of reception when I travel, but I understand that is improving.

Horrible reception. Dropped calls daily. Almost impossible to use phone indoors or out.

Horrible reception inside apartment. Coverage map shows excellent in this area. I disagree.

AT&T signal couldn't be better here on the west side of St. Petersburg near SPC--iPhone has worked wonderfully well for the year that I have had it--I had a Motorola RAZR before that and it also worked just fine. I can't believe all the bad things I'm hearing about AT&T. My experience is just the opposite. Good wireless signal and good customer service from the AT&T company store near Tyrone Mall.

I've had AT&T for years--great reception most everywhere in downtown St. Petersburg-- including inside buildings. Only had one dropped call in several years and that was on the Howard Franklin Bridge. AT&T (and Cingular before them) has always given me four and five bars. I'm off contract and could switch anytime, but I'm staying with AT&T !

I'm in between floors and perfect reception every time. But this is a metro area thus I expected it. A perfect test for a cell phone reception would be North Port (about an hour south of here). :-)

I have tried Sprint, ATT, and Boost. I now have Verizon with no reception at all. The only one close is Boost but their phones are terrible.

I have had reception problems on and off with my last phone. But, my new phone has had worse problems. In fact, I had better reception with my 2 year old phone. Is it T-Mobile or the phone?

Good reception all over Pinellas County. Had AT&T when I moved here and never had a signal on the beach where I live and work. Switched to T-Mo, better reception, better customer service AND save $.
