Default reception

I had AT & T while we were still working in Ohio, and reception was not good here in Sabal Chase. Ohioboy had his workphone with Sprint/Nextel. Worked fine in both locations, so we got a Sprint contract when we retired. We have 2 different phone types. Awful reception here in Sabal Chase and also back in Ohio. Don't know if also having Nextel made a difference or what.

Anyway, our contract is up in October. We would love to get Consumer Cellular as we just need voice, don't need smart phones, and the price is cheaper than Verizon. However, it's the same AT&T problem of reception. A while back there was mention of new towers coming in September - was that just a rumor?
