Poor or no signal in this rapidly growing area in Crestview. At least two subdivisions going up but no signal on Cingular phones.

I live on highway 393.No signal on cingular, the so called largest network in the nation! There are hundreds of people who live on and around this road including doctors and nurses. It is high time Cingular provided at least some signal strength.

inside Target in same plaza as Alltel store Roaming on Verizon tower.

Cingular SUCKS east of biscayne! save your $, get a metro!

Constantly switches from full bars to no bars. 9 out of 10 call attempts end up in "network busy." 9 out of 10 conversations are dropped. 9 out of 10 calls go straight to voicemail... phone never rings. Have to walk outside of apartment and drive somewhere else to talk. It has been getting worse over the past few months. Totally ridiculous... it's 2006, fellas... come on. Can we get out of our contracts because of this? Or we just get screwed like always?

I have no signal for my Blackberry inside home. My wife has the same phone and we can't talk to each other unless we look for a particular spot to receive 1 bar of signal inside our apartment. We called Nextel and they said that there are 8 towers in this area and that they were calling network technicians to re-position signal to our home. This is just frustrating ! Thinking about returning our phones since we are on 30 day trial !

I'm currently in a dispute with Cingullar after switching to another company. They say that I broke the contract. I say that their side of the contract was to provide service and that their side was not fulfilled. This is my business phone and their lack of service very nearly cost me my two largest accounts. Verizon rocks here.

Nextel says that the are getting better, better at what, dropping calls and giving you no reception. This company has been going down hill ever since the hurricanes. The best thing I licked about this phone was the 2 way, but that has gone also. It makes no sense way you have to pay your bill for service that doesn't work? Now that Sprint bought them out they say thay are better, but they are wrong. I have spoken to customer service and they told me that Sprint towers are not compatible with netel. So there you have it the company needs help. Hope who reads this makes a good decision on the company they get. Good luck to all Nextel customers.

Cingular is horrible. On a map you can see that most of the cell towers in Gainesville area are owned by Cingular / AT&T, but every other service works better on the towers. At the last 3 places I've lived in town the service was unattainable- It was really common for me to take a long walk or drive just to get messages and return calls. The first of those places was less than 300 yards from a Cingular tower. The second was line of sight with a Cingular tower on the nearest tall building. The third was right near campus and would have a perfect signal all day long but I could never send a call, got alot of fast-busys, many missed calls and delayed messages, and I would actually get crosstalk like with a land line that's miswired. At my new location service is slightly better (not as bad as campus or SW 23rd st), but every day I lose service completele for about 2-3 hours intermittently. The phone will go from 5 bars to 0 and the phone cannot even call 911. I have had 3 phone models- 1st was replaced 5 times, 2nd was replaced 8 times, 3rd is on it's 3rd replacement. Full coverage and signal but constant "network busy". Tower routers have actually caused my phones to not be able to hang up on calls- I have turned a phone off by pulling the battery and when it powered back up the call was still on the line and my friends line wasn't letting them hang up either. Dr.5 miles in any direction out of town and you will have perfect service, even in the middle of a swamp. Dr.across NW 16th ave towards 8th Ave and you will lose every call- EVERY CALL in that spot gets dropped no matter what, but you will have a full signal the whole time. Cingular needs to hire a couple of tower technicians because it seems they are just putting these things up and equipping them with the weakest, cheapest, most ineffective networking hardware available. If you report exact locations of dropped calls, dead spots, or just randomly f'd up stuff you will be snubbed- CSRs wont even write down the information that you give them. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH CINGULAR- the only service that will drop your calls, messages, and even your phones IMEI number from their database.

Calls dropped frequently when entering the Tuttle Causeway (I-195) on the Miami side's bridge. You will get disconnected while going over the bridge in most instances. I wouldn't recommend initiating or continuing a call until you have gone past the bridge.
