I've been with T-Mobile (including Voicestream and before that, Powertel) since '01. I've always been pretty happy with the coverage in Nashville, but since Sept '08, my wife and I could not get reliable coverage in our own home 1 mile from downtown. This hadn't been a problem for several years in the same location. T-Mobile kept saying that they were working on the tower. A year later, the problem didn't get any better. Good customer service means nothing if they won't let you out of a contract when you can't even talk in your own home. We're dropping T-Mobile in December.
Reception at my complex is ridiculous. Depending on where I am in my bedroom, it goes out. My roommate has got it even worse and typically ends up going outside. I've had my reception just die for hours on end, unable to send / receive anything. I'm almost convinced it has something to do with the airport. I've had Verizon in Nashville for years now and this is the only location I've consistently had a problem. Heading more towards Hermitage or downtown (basically away from the airport) returns things to normal.
Verizon works the best in our area. I always have service. My friend was on AT&T and had horrible service. We both went to Verizon and both got Tours and love them!
When I go to my house down old hickory blvd. When I get closer I leterlaly lose bar-by-bar and when I get home the only places are really the far side of my porch and sit out there. But if I get on my bed I have to just get in the right position or no service. But if I start to go some where when I go back up my street I start to get service and when I get to the highway 12 intersection I have perfect service!
I get great service on highway 12 and beyond but when I go get at my house down old hickory blvd. I start to lose bar by bar. And the only place is on the far side of my porch and on my bed I get a bought 1,2, or 3 bars. So this my only problem it AT&T needs more service down old hickory blvd.
I lve down old hickory blvd. And when I go down the streetand as I get closer to my house I lose bar by bar and barly get one if that and the only place I yet eervcevwt my house is on my far end of our porch and on my we I get 1,2, or 3 bars. Oh but when I drive down and get a the intersection of highway 12 I have full bars and edge and more than most of the time 3g. So my only problem is that I need better service on old hickory blvd.
My Problem is I just moved here to Nashville with a Prepay Plan. and to make a call I have to dial the number twice to place a call caused Alltel is switching over to Verizon Towers. They can't tell me how long it will take. My Phone area code is 813 and would love to get the area code changed to Nashville. when you call Alltel customer service every operator you get to talk to has a accent from the beautiful country of the filipines and they are very rude, will hang up on you and they will not let you talk to a supervisor. They also tell you that if you switch over to Nashville area code I might have The same *Problem*
Had reception when I first moved. For the last two months... I get ZERO reception from home. T-Mobile seems to be insisting that the problem is my phone. However, my girlfriends phone stopped receiving a signal also. I also experience alot of dropped calls elsewhere in the city. I'm extremely unhappy with the coverage of Tmobile. When with Sprint, I had no problems with coverage. If you can deal with the lack of customer service, you should certainly consider going with sprint. Even if customer service is a problem, you will find yourself having to contact them much less.
I get a few dropped calls and there are some "dead spots" (namely Ellington Parkway), but I hear everyone complain about their cell phone service and I complain less. Sometimes voice mails are LATE arriving. But my son switched to Verizon and had more complaints. I've been with AT&T for ten years and have nothign but good things to say about their support over the phone - except it sometimes takes too long to get a person.
