I have looked at some older threads that were talking about different cell services and things didn't look too good back a couple years ago. We currently have Sprint and will be heading to the Wildwood/Lake Deaton area soon. How is sprint service in that area now?

I had Sprint for many years and it worked fairly well in The Villages. But, I switched to the new Comcast cell service that uses the Verizon network, and it is better. I wonder why the Verizon service is always the highest rated service. Why can't the other services ever catch up to Verizon? Sprint even has TV ads that admit their service is not as good. Go figure.

I've used Sprint for twenty years.Only had trouble in the beginning because of the lack of towers in the area of Vero Beach.
They will pay for one year of AAA if you have AAA.

We are going to be seasonal for now so I can't see making a switch to another service for part of the year. Is there a pre-pay service that is adequate...just in case we need something different while there?

Get a pre-pay service that uses Verizon. Up north my AT&T worked everywhere. When I moved here (Pinellas), not so great. I switched to Verizon and it is much better.

That's good to know, thank you.

We have Sprint and have had no issues anywhere in TV.

Have you been in or around the Lake Deaton/Wildwood area? I always forward my home phone to my cell when we leave home so that's the plan when we do head south...I just hope I can still do that and have good service for phone and data.

What is Tapatalk?

Tapatalk is an App that allows you to see TOTV'S on your cell phone. Otherwise, you can just type TOTV into the browser on your phone and go from there.

I'm in the Northern section of The Villages and all the people that I know who have Sprint end up trading it in for something else. They all seem to scream when they talk.

Verizon has a plan that really is nice, Unlimited everything for $40 a line if you have two lines. Streaming Sirius, Pandora & Now the Village own Station WVLG 640AM is some much nicer now that you don't get charged for data overages.

Oh, thank you. I have unlimited everything and a 10g hotspot but it's more than $40.00 a month. We only have 1 line, we don't stream music and things like that, we just use a little data (very little) talk and text but I want my phone to work well when I use it.

If you have Xfinity internet service, you can get their cell phone service that uses the Verizon network for $45 per month unlimited, or $12 per GB on a pay as you go plan, with unlimited talk and text. The phone should work practically anywhere in the country.

I can't speak for Sprint but Cricket, which is part of AT&T, is fine in that area and is $30 per month including all taxes and fees for unlimited text and talk, and 2 gigabytes of data.
