Default Cellphone coverage

How is the overall cellphone coverage for Verizon and AT&T in TV area?

It all depends on where in TV you are. It varies widely. This is a common question. As I posted earlier in a similar thread, check with the NSA, they know which cellphone service is the best!!

Sprint coverage is not the best

Live in The Village of St. Charles. My ATT coverage is always great. Never a problem.

Our AT&T coverage in Lake Deaton usually gets one to two bars inside. Voice is garbled from time to time. Improvement in coverage is needed.

None of them are stellar mostly because there is too much traffic and not enough towers. Just don't get hooked into a 2 year contract.

AT&T in Labelle is terrible. Barely get one bar in our home and most calls are dropped unless we are out on the lanai or standing right next to a window or door.

You might be eligible for the AT&T Microcell box at no cost. This is a small box that creates a cell zone in your house and routes calls through the internet. It connects to your router with a cat5 ethernet cable. Setup is trivial and it works great. Call AT&T.

while the microcell may be a good fit for your problem, if you have good wifi try exploring one of the free wifi calling apps like google voice or hangouts on android....don't know what is available for apple. most give you a good quality voice connection. I use magicjack for phone service and it comes with it's own free call app. oh, by free I mean free to download and ths calls are free.

I'm in Tamarind-when we first moved her we had to dump AT&T, use Verizon no problem, if you are too close to a cell tower-your reception will stink--the expression is you're under the gun
