We switched over from an old A.T.&T. plan. Cingular assured us that we could get excellent recepetion. We haven't been able to get one bar since we got the phone. They keep calling on our land line and saying they are working on reception. I like the cell phone they gave us but am sending it back today. Before you select a celluar phone plan, check the reception area. As far as I can tell, the area south of Citra, northeast of Ocala and east of the four lane is a dead zone.

My Motorola says it has 4 to 5 bars, but then whenever I try to call someone, 9 of 10 times the phone replies "Network Unavailable" or "Network Busy" because Cingular's messing around with their towers or whatever. This started a month ago (ironically, almost in sync with their "fewest dropped calls" commercials), and most reps say it'll be 2 to 3 more months until its fixed. That's horrible. I guess you can't drop a call if you can't make one. Cingular: raising the bar (so we can hit you where it hurts)

HORRID! We have actually been on the phone speaking to someone when the other person will hear a operator come on and say that this phone is not a working number.. in the middle of the call and then drop ?!? why they don't build a tower or 12 is beyond me - but they lost US as customers! Verizon here we come -- and believe me - I am not happy about that - Verizon has ugly phones :( but good service -- sigh...

There is no service at all 1 mile east on Nova St. to near FL528. This includes several subdivisions off of Nova Rd.

Cingular is the worst in FL. Awful Customer Service (basically they say on the phone" oh I see you live in Florida, too bad, we are again experiencing problems all over Florida and have no idea when they will be fixed"). Stay away from Cingular here.

hardly have any reception on this eria

No reception at all. I wish I knew this before I signed a 2-year contract with Sprint.

cingular told us we would have service here and yup you guessed it NO DICE! Cingular has the worst customer service and would never use them again. also I had many many dropped calls or network busy when trying to dial out all over gainesville. stay far far away!

T-Mobile coverage is non-existent out here, same for Sprint. Cingular will sometimes work outside. Definitely leaving for Verizon.

Wacissa Florida is the Land of No Service.
