AT&T or Verizon Cellphone Coverage?
 
We have Verizon but are thinking of switching to AT&T cellphone. Has anyone had problems with coverage with AT&T? We live near Sumter Landing. Thanks in advance!

Live in Sunset Pointe and no problems with them.

my entire family is on Verizon. I won't be switching all too soon. No problems.

AT&T or Verizon
 
I have AT&T and have had several dropped calls recently just north of 466A. Don't know if it was an anomaly or a continuing problem with ATT Service. I do know that when you get off the Interstates and away from larger metropolitan areas, Verizon beats AT&T hands down. Their map commercials are right on target.

Checked Verizon
 
We bought a lot in Pennecamp on Eldridge Loop. I went out before we signed the papers to see what coverage we had. With Verizon, it was great with nearly 4 bars. We have three of us on the plan. My wife will keep her current number so our 'old' friends in Texas will have a local number to call. I will get a new Florida number so our 'new' friends will be able to call me as a local number. We figure not everyone has a nationwide plan and some of our friends, god forbid, still work and call us from that phone.

I live and Duval and have not had any problem with Verizon. We have had friends visit with AT&T and they had to use our phone because there's would not hold a signal.

Not here
 
AT&T is useless at Mallory Square.

After many phone calls I learned that mergers reduced the coverage of AT&T in this and many parts of Florida.

We live in Hemingway and have no problem with Verizon. My neighbor has AT&T and I always see him outside on his cell phone because service in the house is so bad. Even outside he has dropped calls. However, his kids are on his plan and want the iPhone, so he just installed a special receiver in his house which routes his calls through the internet. I haven't spoken with him since he did this to find out how he likes it.

Chuck - That's good to hear. My wife and I are both on Verizon and really don't have any plans to switch. I would love to get a Droid, but just can't justify the extra "required" messaging plan or whatever they call it. See you soon neighbor.

We have Verizon and have no problems. Our son and his wife have AT&T. They were driving from Tavares to TV Wednesday evening and reception from their phone to our home phone was terrible. The kids say they have some trouble in this area with AT&T.

Had Sprint in CA and found that there were many areas where service was poor or non-existent. Switched to Verizon and the improvement was amazing. Just kept it when we moved here.

No problem with AT&T for me. My scattered family all have it so with free mobile to mobile it makes sense for me.

I have had both
 
Verizon and At&T. I didn't have problems with either one. I switched to At&T because they were more flexible when I wanted to change their plans and they have rollover minutes. I use AT&T now and have no problems. Mostly in Amelia and LSL.

I think they both have about the same coverage. AT&T was more flexible. We could go from 900 to 450 minute plans at any time and not be locked in to either one.

Have ATT no problem what so ever. At work we have Sprint and Verizon, always have issues dropping calls. I can even drive thru Mallory Hill with My ATT and get great reception.
