AT&T

Little to no reception. 2600 students do not think much of Cingular because of the lack of coverage in this area. Most switch to another company freshman year. I lived in Hendersonville and loved it, but needs a tower or two in this area.

Do NOT get Cingular if you live anywhere in this area. I have to go outside my house and get lucky to get more than 1 bar. I drop basically every call I make over 1 minute, and get voicemail and text messages hours after they have been sent. My friends stopped calling me! Friends and family with Cingular have the same problem in the area. Switching to Verizon.

When driving south down Belmont Blvd.it is rare when my call is not dropped due to dead zones from Blair to I-440.

Nothing in any of the medical center buildings. Very weak signal along 22nd south at the medical center. Signal also week along 21st south (hillsboro village area)

This has got to be the worst cell service plan I've ever had. I thought service would improve with the Cingular / ATT merger (as advertised... more bars in more places, not.) I can sit on my sofa and have full bars and after 10 minutes drop the call. If I stand at my living room window and hold the phone straight up, I won't drop a call until about 15 minutes into the call. I called CS and they said "Sometimes reception isn't very good in buildings. Turn your phone off for 5 minutes and try again. If things don't improve in 48 hours, call back." What the? How can I go from full bars to no service without moving? I can't use my cell phone in my house? I hate this service. I spend too much time saying "can you hear me now?" during a phone conversation. My contract is up in September and I will switch to another carrier.

Always a good signal in this area both outside and in my apartment on Acklen Park right off of West End. I've lived in Nashville a couple of months now and I get consistent coverage around town from T-Mobile. I usually switch providers whenever my contract is up just to get a new deal on phone and plan, but T-Mobile works so well for me I might keep it.

In the Cancer Center (PRB), I get little to no service in interior rooms and hallways. I get good service in external rooms on the west side of the building. Through Robinson, I get a better signal. Probably due to where the hallway is. Usable signal in MCN. Almost nothing in MCE (with my previous phone).

Excellent signal inside and out of my apartments. I got a unit on top of a hill so there aren't many terrain problems. Great reception around the area and into Bellevue, West Meade, and West Nashville.

We typically have no problems, but sometimes, our phones will drop calls for no apparent reason. We are on the very top of a hill and Channel 4 is on the next hill over. The only thing I can figure is their signals drown ours out on occassion.

Reception on direct connect goes in and out on 22nd ave near the vanderbilt hospital. Absolutely no service in any of the medical center. Service is very spotty in other building on campus.
