The area just north of 466A was just a bad until AT&T finally added the new tower in Wildwood. Before that, however, the POA was VERY helpful in working with AT&T to 1) keep on them to get towers added and 2) make an arrangement with them to let us purchase a MicroCell for $50. The MicroCell certainly solved the problem until the new tower provided adequate service in Pennecamp/Buttonwood/Tamarind Grove.
Might be worth contacting the POA to see if they still have their contact at AT&T. |

I lived in Sanibel and had poor AT&T service. Now live in Collier and it's just as bad.

We spent a month in the Village of Pinellas in May/June and made numerous calls including many to Ohio with AT&T and had no problems whatsoever.

I agree with most of the replies here..... very poor to no coverage.
We live close to the Pinellas-Morse intersection and wish it was better. Anyone willing to help me contact Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint? If we don't let them know we are having issues, they will never look into it. Thanks, Gordy |

I'm in Fernandina (down by Hillsborough Trail) and consistently have OK signal - can talk and do data without problems.

ATT not great around cr 466 either. Sunday is the worst. I don't know if they shut down the tower on Sunday. Texts and calls get dropped .
Verizon also has horror stories. |

I think the closer you are to a water tower.... the better. Nothing near the Colony Plaza area.

With AT&T the more noise you make the more results you get. AT&T has a free APP called mark the spot, so every time I had a dropped call, failed call, no coverage or data issue I'd hit the mark the spot APP. After a while I got a text from AT&T about buying one of their 3G Micro Cell's. I told them I wasn't going to purchase a devise to fix their problem. After more complaining and taking it higher and higher they finally gave me the micro cell, probably just to shut me up but it did work. So as the other posts said at least while I'm in my house I've got great coverage.

Mine was that bad also but I found one location with one bar in the E network and just kept using that to mark the spot.

ATT south of 466A is terrible if you are inside a home. It's almost as bad as their service when you try to call to get help.
