AT&T
Service is mostly okay until peak tourism, then it is splotchy and it sucks to not be able to get business done by my phone which is the entire point of having it! Many, many times during the day I get errors on trying to send texts, cannot receive data, cannot make phone calls out, miss incoming calls. I agree with another reviewer that last year during July AT&T promised to fix the problems but now here we are with only the spring break crowds (April 4, 2012) and it renders my phone virtually useless! If I could get my company to change carriers, I would do it in a hearbeat. Very unsatisfied with AT&T and I hear it from everyone who uses them!

We can make and receive phone calls but despite 4 years of begging for assistance the internet is slower than dailup. They tried to sell us a booster for $300 even after we explained we already had one. We have tried 4 different air card models and two different high gain yagi antennas with the same results. Internet with them is not worth the trouble or the lies.

I don't know if the person below me will read this, but I've had the same problem. As of about two weeks ago I just completely lost signal in my home and around the immediate area. Have you found anymore information on this or anything? 'Cause this is really an inconvenience.

I have no problem with the Florida Panhandle for signal unless I am around the Esto area or the Sand Hills (Quail Hallow). No matter where I go I always get around 3-4 bars, with 4 bars being max signal. To the people who have poor signal around SR2 / US231, it is because that Alltel tower wasn't converted to Verizon, it was shutdown and was supposed to be decommisioned, but the wireless internet people took it over with their old failed technology they sold your counties for wireless internet which is more expensive than they tell you. Another part of cell signal is the cheaper the phone the crappier antenna you will have. Also, this area is getting upgrades soon, an engineer friend of mine told me that the Verizon towers are being upgraded for 4G rollout in the Panama City market, and will go live with the new stuff within a few months. Another signal factor is the southern pines absorb the signal badly, the more there is around you the worse signal will be, and the more people are using a specific tower the less range and power it has to push signal to you. I used to work as a CSRII for Verizon Wireless.

When we moved here 7 months ago, I had great reception everywhere, including my house. As of a week ago, I've lost all signal in / around my house. Zero bars, no calls, no texting, delayed / no voicemail. When I cross the bridge to Destin, my signal comes back 4 or 5 bars.

iPhone's keep switching between 2 g an 3G Verizon hotspot signal ok except when tyying to view video from the net. Constantly stop and go.

We get 1 bar in the house, and only two bars from the highest point on the roof. We'd like to eliminate our wired phone, but the cell reception locally is just too poor. Can hardly make a call inside, spotty outside. I'm told the recption is similarly bad on Indian Trail in Destin. C'mon, Verizon, upgrade your towers!

Vacationing at a condo in Destin proper right off highway 98. There is absolutely no ATT service here. Several members of my family are all on ATT and from different parts of the southeast and none of their phones can make or receive calls. Ridiculous.
