Little to no reception. 2600 students do not think much of Cingular because of the lack of coverage in this area. Most switch to another company freshman year. I lived in Hendersonville and loved it, but needs a tower or two in this area.
Do NOT get Cingular if you live anywhere in this area. I have to go outside my house and get lucky to get more than 1 bar. I drop basically every call I make over 1 minute, and get voicemail and text messages hours after they have been sent. My friends stopped calling me! Friends and family with Cingular have the same problem in the area. Switching to Verizon.
Nothing in any of the medical center buildings. Very weak signal along 22nd south at the medical center. Signal also week along 21st south (hillsboro village area)
Cingular has to be the worst of all the players in Nashville. I switched from T-Mobile 2 years ago, thinking I was getting a better deal, but I cant believe how many calls I miss. It drops calls, loses calls goes from 4 bars to 1 without me moving. Network gets overloaded, customer service is essentially nonexistant. Basically whenever I need to have a call, I have to borrow someone elses phone. My small business is saying BY - BY Cingular... PS - I think it got worse with the merger. Better coverage my eye....
You will drop service starting as you go up the hill at the gas staion by the apartments and won't pick it back up again until somewhere near Papa Johns. I have never had a call NOT drop in this location. I drive this route twice a day and need to make sure I wrap up my conversation before I begin climbing the hill. This isn't my only complaint. See the notes by Hwy. 70 and 100. Bad service is an understatement.
This has got to be the worst cell service plan I've ever had. I thought service would improve with the Cingular / ATT merger (as advertised... more bars in more places, not.) I can sit on my sofa and have full bars and after 10 minutes drop the call. If I stand at my living room window and hold the phone straight up, I won't drop a call until about 15 minutes into the call. I called CS and they said "Sometimes reception isn't very good in buildings. Turn your phone off for 5 minutes and try again. If things don't improve in 48 hours, call back." What the? How can I go from full bars to no service without moving? I can't use my cell phone in my house? I hate this service. I spend too much time saying "can you hear me now?" during a phone conversation. My contract is up in September and I will switch to another carrier.
Sprint service (I have had them for 5+ years) used to be awesome in Nashville. Now on the way home from (Airport area) the phone will not work and has 3 dead spots in a 5 mile drive home. Its useless. I have gone from having wonderful experiences to having a very bad one. I have done PRL (phone) updates, Roaming updates etc and nothing has worked to improve the area. Ironically I have 5 bars at work (where I dont need it) and only 3 or 4 at work. Best guess is that Sprint is falling from thier lofty heights from a few years ago.
Always a good signal in this area both outside and in my apartment on Acklen Park right off of West End. I've lived in Nashville a couple of months now and I get consistent coverage around town from T-Mobile. I usually switch providers whenever my contract is up just to get a new deal on phone and plan, but T-Mobile works so well for me I might keep it.
I almost always get a full bar except when I am home. When I am home I get about 2-3 bars depending on where in the house I am.My wife has a Sony Ericsson T610 and she barely gets any reception (I guess it might be because her phone has a internal antennae).
