Our place is in Duval, diagonal across Buena Vista from the Seabreeze Rec Center. Our AT&T reception is marginal in that area - 1 or 2 bars - but we haven't experienced any dropped calls. The phones work better for us if we're outdoors there.

I have absolutely great AT&T reception but I am about a mile north of 466 (in Glenbrook). I have visited friends DOWN SOUTH in St. Charles and noticed the AT&T reception is far from being good.

I live in BelleAire and have good ATT reception, but when I'm in Lake Sumter Landing, I don't have any service.

I have AT&T, wife has Verizon. There are places where hers is good and mine weak and also where mine is good and hers is weak. Overall it seems my AT&T is a little better then her Verizon. I also believe the phone makes a difference. We live in Sunset Pointe.

Default Sprint Service

I should be moving to TV sometime late summer. I have Sprint now and have it for many years, how good is their service in TV. I was actually going next week for a new phone and I am wondering if I should switch providers when my contract is up. Thanks all!

Now you are worrying me.......I've had verizon for years and plan on switching to AT&T soon when the iphone5 comes out, if I can wait that long.
As to the sprint question, I have a friend who does business in TV daily and uses his phone all day in TV with no problems.

I want an iphone...and reception.

I have an iPhone 4 with AT&T service. The signal strength in our home in St. Charles was usually either one bar or no service at all. Recently I received a letter from AT&T that offered me a free AT&T 3G MicroCell (supposedly a $199 value). I picked it up at the AT&T store, installed it, and now we have great reception with four and five bars throughout our home. The 3G MicroCell works great. Check with AT&T if you haven't already received this offer in the mail. Maybe it would solve your reception problem when you are at home.

I think that Verizon is supporting Apple products. It's at least worth a phone call to Verizon.

In Hemingway with AT&T my iPhone works most of the time. But only 1 bar inside. And my wifes phone does not work most of the time at home. AT&T has a very weak signal here. My daughters Verizon phone worked fine here. We will be switching to Verizon as soon as our contracts are up.
