We are not living there yet but when we visited about a month ago my T-Mobile service was terrible! Will have to switch providers if we move there for sure!

Consumer Cellular with AARP discount.
No contracts etc.
Cut our cost in half from Verizon.
Radio Shack in Wildwood on 301 handles it.

We both have T-Mobile and service is fairly good. Occasionally we have to go out to the lanai for reception. We live in Amelia.

I Had T-Mobile a few yrs back and had terrible service. Had to stand in the driveway to make a call.

Had T-Mobile for a few years. Service was not good, in and out all the time. The customer service was the worst I have ever encountered in any business dealings ever. We now have Sprint and the service is OK. At least when I call about a problem they will try to solve it.

I am still trying to figure out my way around ToTV or I would refer you to a post I did a few days ago about cell phone reception. We recently bought a villa in TV and reception on my cell phone was horrible. I would constantly lose calls, even if I was on the lanai. It was infuriating but I refuse to get a land line. Anyway, when I was on Amazon.com, I saw an ad for a Panasonic phone that has changed our life. If you want to read about it, it is called Panasonic KX-TG7743 Link-to-Cell Cellular Convergence Solution. You DO NOT need a land line to use it and somehow after you link it up with your cell phone it acts like a regular phone. It comes with a base and two extensions and it is a fantastic phone. I have not lost any calls (even from INSIDE the house!) and they are clear. I don't know how it works but it does. It is so nice having a regular phone to talk into and not having to use my cell phone. I am still learning how to use the different features but the most important thing about it is that I am no longer losing calls and can make calls out just as if I were using a land line. Hope this helps solve your problem.
