Have been with Cingular for many years and loved the plans and their customer service. I thought when Cingular and AT&T merged there would naturally be better service because of More towers... Wrong! From cr121 to I-10; I95 to lem turner have always been able to call but now I am constantly receiving "call failed" messages immediately upon pressing send button. Mornings are worse... overloaded circuits perhaps? I am paying for phone service but cannot use it when I NEED TO.

is there a way I could get good reception?

Alltel "cherry picks" its service areas. Rural North Florida has very poor service. Alltel is said to spend 1.5 millon on signs on the "Alltel Stadium" in Jacksonville, while providing good service in rural areas goes lacking.

No bars, no reception inside or outside of my house. Sometimes will get a signal by the time I reach Rt. 51, which is two miles away. Useless for anything except for metropolitan areas. Worst service I've ever had.

I have little to no reception. I have tried other Nokia phones and nothing works. I have spoken numerous time to AT and T. The phone doesn't work in the house, nor outside. It is all over my area.

Phone gets "no service" message all the way from 103rd street all the way down Brannon Field until you get to Blanding BLVD. Crappy part is I live in between.

Have not found a phone that works in here yet.

I live in the Eagle Creek subdivision and receive no reception until I exit onto Hwy. US1.

Well mostly you will never know. Spotty reception at best. No sense in making a call as you will most likely be dropped. Went to Nextel from Cingular after the Hurricanes cause the radio feature was the only thing working (in and out) but have been waiting and waiting for better coverage. They keep promising. I love the radio feature but I can not use my cell phone from the house. Radio only sometimes. Never in the same spot. Cingular reception there is exceptional but I hate dealing with there billing mistakes.

Sprint should have left Nextel alone on fixed their own problems.Nextel was fine until they merged and brought their problems with them including poor customer service ! I will be switching soon with no regrets.
