We also live in Bonita and have AT&T service. My Razor phone works fine, but my husband's phone (Panech?) drops calls, doesn't ring sometimes, etc. So sometimes I think it's just the make of phone, and not the service provider.

Every time I'm down there I have problems with my Verizon phone service. I have had problems with 3 different verizon phones. Verizon tried everything but to no avail.
I've had verizon for over 10 years.

When I move down there for good in 419 days, i'll be switching to ATT and the soon to be out 4th generation iphone. I would have had an iphone years ago, but when Apple first offered it to verizon, they said "no thanks", so they gave it to ATT. Dumb move for Verizon.........

Hmm, I always get nicks and cuts with an old razor. My dad has an old Razr phone though, and it works fine.

I had a drop call every day this winter with A T & T in Caroline. I had switched from Verizon to AT & T for the hold over minutes. I certainly did use them!

What is meant by razor phone?

I used to have AT & T, didn't get good reception at all in Sabal Chase, but fine north of 466. I switched to Sprint when I needed a new phone and service contract. If you go to each company's website and look for coverage areas, it shows very specific maps of good and mediocre and bad or no coverage areas. Check for your address, but probably none are perfect everywhere in TV, unless the upcoming tower helps.

I even called AT & T (when I cancelled my service) and they checked and agreed not good service at my Villages address, didn't say anything about an upcoming tower, but this was back in December so maybe they didn't know, or didn't release that info even internally at that time.

We are in Hadley and have both an ATT cell phone and a Blackberry. Service is horrible - dropped calls, no service, etc. If we go to the top of the hill by the mailbox/pool, service is fine.

Time to more to get better coverage...........

I live in the Springdale area (north of 466) and have always had great reception. Never a dropped call.

I've had Sprint and At&t . The reception was lousy , I live in Chatham and had to go outside to talk when anyone called....
Nieghbor said try Verizon which I now have and it solved the problem...reception is wonderful ......Talk to people in your village and find out what works best for them.......

I love Verizon ,, Fumar
