Sprint

Service has declined and now I'm lucky to get service inside my house at all. I have an iPhone 5 and Sprint 3G service has ALWAYS rendered my iPhone unusable on anything but wifi, now though my voice service is starting to fade. I continually miss calls and texts at home and don't get a notification until I walk outside. My wife is on AT&T and has no problems at all, her iPhone is lightning fast and she never has service issues. If this service wasn't free through work I would drop Sprint in a heartbeat, worst service I've ever encountered.

Sprint

In the last few months, reception has declined. Used to have at least 3 bars, and never experienced dropped calls, now they happen regularly. 1 or 2 bars inside, but outside is just weird; from 1 to 4 back down to 2, 1, then up to 4 again, all in one minute.

Verizon

Cell phones are unusable inside my house, and barely usable outside. When receiving calls, at least 50% of the time my phones don't even ring - call goes directly to voicemail (with phone on and not in use). DON'T USE VERIZON, you WILL be sorry.

T-Mobile

this really sucks! I pay over $200 amonth for 3 lines and neither one of us can use our service when we're on. I worl from home and my son has chronic asthma so I need my ph on at all times!

AT&T

I was told by a person at the AT&T store that the tower in our area was worked on about a year ago, and it was messed up at that time and has still not been repaired. As soon as I said something about my poor reception, the salesperson was able to tell me what area I lived in.

Sprint

My cell phone reception seems to be good enough. I am amazed there are only 3 towers in the more densely populated areas.

AT&T

I have AT&T wireless internet service and all phones are AT&T. I feel I get excellent service on everything except my Safelink phone. I get no reception bars at all here at the house but, I go into Jacksonville and get 5 bar reception. Must be the phone... .

T-Mobile

We were with T Mobile for six years. Over the last six months, we could rarely place calls in our home. 0 to 1 bars. It's better in other areas, but I wouldn't recommend the service in the NAS JAX / Ortega Farms area. We switched to Verizon now we have 2 to 3 bars, much better, but more expensive.

Sprint

no service inside home. miss lots of calls while inside.

Sprint

I drop calls all the time. Signal shows 3-4 bars but the call still drops. Text messages take forever to go through. I use to have Verizon and never had these problems. What's the purpose of having unlimited internet if I can never use it.

Sprint

need better service from Sprint for the price we have to pay

Sprint

Usually no bars. Inside max on either phone or air-card is 1 bar but it drops to no bars it the wind blows (yeah, that's a joke, but the signal strength is the truth). Outside usually 1 bar, on a lucky day jumps around between 1 to 2 bars. The closest Sprint tower is at NAS JAX, next closest is at JAX airport. Sprint store told me "too bad for you". Some kind of service, huh?

AT&T

I've had AT&T for many years (Since they bought out Cellular One) and they have made many Great improvements with their coverage. 17 years ago there service was poor here where I live. Now they have installed a new Tower at the corner of Chaffee and Normandy and never had a drop call or no service since. While my one friend has been here many times with many different carriers for service and none of them would work here. He would have to walk across the street to make or receive a call. He finally gave up and switched to AT&T. I have traveled from Fl to Pa many times with usable service all the way. They don't have the best prices but I do believe they do have the best service across the USA.

T-Mobile

at home bars fluctuate from 0-2 usually. reception is fine when there are bars, some areas not able to dial or send text. on beach blvd reception is great, 4 bars. prepaid has terrible reception at home, using Samsung no-fancy flip phone.

Sprint

Terrible reception. Have installed the Sprint Airave cable modem booster and that works inside but step out the door and 1-2 bars and dropping calls constantly. Live 4 miles away for 5 years (SW of JIA)and all was great, what a difference just on the other side of JIA( NE corner).

AT&T

I have been using Samsung and previously LG phones during my past 5 years association with AT and T (previously Cingular). I have NEVER had the problems the previous writers have stated. One note though, I have a friend living in the Timuquana Road / Catoma area and within his house I FREQUENTLY experience dropped calls and / or no signal. If I call his house and pass over 103rd and I-295, the call drops. So maybe what others are experiencing is NOT the carrier but the phone manufacturer or model. My friends complain because I send and receive calls inside Sam's, BJ's and yes, the gym at NAS Jax and they are left high and dry. maybe I'm wrong, but I think its the type of phone matched with your carrier.

T-Mobile

we have to walk out of my home and to the street if I want to get any bars. then I get 3 at the max if the weather is OK. as much as the northside of Jax is growing you would think they would invest in more towers. calls are always dropped when driving on Lem Turner between i-295 and callahan. wouldn't recommend T-Mobile to anyone in this area.

T-Mobile

Reception is non-existent inside any building on campus at all. Outside you get maybe 1 or 2 bars max. You have to literally leave campus to get any signal.

T-Mobile

sure am glad my 2 year T-Mobile contract is almost up. never have been able to use the phone in my home and usually can not use it driving down lem turner between i-295 and callahan without having the calls dropped. T-Mobile should invest in putting up more towers on the northside of jax as this is the area of town that will be having the large population growth next.

T-Mobile

I only get reception on the Naval Air Station on the edge of the base along US-17. I get great coverage everywhere else in Jacksonville, many other cities in Florida, and when I travel around the country. If you work at NAS, T-Mobile is not for you. Elsewhere, I would recommend it.

AT&T

Dawsons Creek Subdivision in Argyle (past SR 23) has horrible reception. I'm lucky to get 1 bar and when I answer a call... then it drops it. Phones used is: a Razor (1 1 / 2 years old) and my husband uses a New PDA that he just purchased in January (purchased after service provider said to see about upgrading his phone (only 1 year old at the time) to get a better signal. SUCKER! Guess what, it didn't work.

Verizon

Reception very poor on CR 119, and non-existent on CR 121. This is unusual because usually my reception is great with Verizon. We also have the wireless air card I use with my laptop. No workie within 8 miles of my house! It doesn't seem that any of the cell companies have good reception in this area.

AT&T

When Cingular was Cingular we had great reception. As soon as they sold out to AT&T the phone service will not work in the house - unless I stand in my closet or go outside.

T-Mobile

No outgoing service in home, has to go outside, into garage, or pation or to driveway, to make a call... this is ridiculous for the money that I pay each month, just insanely absurd...

AT&T

I have had three Samsung SGH807D cell phones and my wife has had two Samsung SGH407D phones with AT&T. My wife and I get very poor service either at home or while I am at work aboard NAS Jacksonville Fl. We both suffer from frequent dropped calls or loss of service entirely. Even when we are traveling down the road we lose connection. When calling each other while I am at work and she is on the road we can not reach each other and even leaving a message sometimes takes several hours for that message to reach the other.

Nextel

Have lousey reception- which is a major problem since my cell phone is an important part of my business. Am thinking that it will be worth the $400 penalty for my husband's and my phone to get out of the contract.

T-Mobile

Very poor reception. Without moving I can go from 3 (at best) to 0 bars in just a few minutes time. Dropped calls with T-Mobile service is a common occurence for us, so much so, that my family and friends all know to just wait until I get in my car to drive to find bars before I can call them on the cell again. Called T-Mobile, they have no plans for improvement in the area. Other T-Mobile customers in the area (all 4 of us) HA! Have the same complaint... can't use the cell in our own homes. Neighbors with Cingular can get service ANYWHERE in the area.

Sprint

Reception sucks in downtown Jacksonville on my phone. Half the time it shows as ROAMING and then I have to dial 1 plus the area code to call anyone!

Sprint

First phone from Sprint that dropped calls everytime. Goes from a full signal to a dropped call... ... .Im very dissapointed with a company that has always satisfied me in the past 5 years..

Verizon

I live in Shady Pines and my cell phone often changes to roaming inside my own home. At least I get service at home. At work, off of 103rd and I-275, I rarely even get roaming. Bottom line: It's not just Cingular with bad connections. I have Verizon.
