We live near Tamarind Grove- Currently with Sprint-not goodl Lots of lost calls etc. Any suggestions for good coverage in the TG area? Price is not as important as reliable service. We do not have land lines

I'm just wondering why settle for lousy service and hollow promises.

My point exactly. AT&T is not to be trusted. They will "promise" you anything to keep you as a subscriber. Had the same promises in Ohio a few years ago...they were going to erect new towers in my area..to this date STILL not erected. Go with Verizon. You'll be a lot happier!

I have AT&T and no problems in TV. I keep it because of the international travel coverage. I can go most places in the world and AT&T works fine. Verizon does not. For years I had AT&T and my wife had Verizon. Mine worked everywhere and hers worked almost no where.

That is why I keep AT&T. So please before you jump to conclusions, ask why. There may be very valid reasons.

I have ATT and have to say I think it stinks in Pennecamp tons of dropped calls.

As becomes apparent reading everyone's thoughts re: AT&T service in TV:

Your satisfaction with their service greatly depends on where you're located.

I live in St. Charles and I can tell every person that has AT&T in my neighborhood...they are always standing in the driveway talking on their cellphone....

AT&T in St. Charles is no good....

And it does completely suck in our area of Duval as well.

Works good in the back yard but that makes things tough during a rain storm.

I have an IPHONE 3G and my husband has a Blackberry. We both had drop calls inside the house with AT&T. We are down from Arnold Palmers. Like everyone else we had to find a place outside to make a call. last year AT&T recommended buying their MicroCell Mini Tower. It hooks up thru your cable moden/wireless. After set up you have entered all the phone numbers that are being used within the house and it activates a signal when you call out or someone calls in. When it is activated at the top of your phone you see the words MicroCell so you know it’s working. If you don't see the words you just turn the phone off and then on again and it pulls the signal in. It only works within the house or lanai. We thought our neighbors could use it by adding their numbers, which you can do up to five but it didn’t work.Too far away. The cost is $100.00 which we loudly complained about. Our cell phone bill is enough and we should not have to pay additional for another product to get cell service. AT&T is very aware of the problem, some at the stores will admit the lack of coverage, others seem to play dumb. MicroCell works and that’s all we care about for now. AT&T said last year they put in the “paper work” for a new tower but everything has to be approved an as of Nov 2011 it still hadn’t. For whatever reason, there are more people with lack of service than those with no problems. For people having issues this product seems to be the only thing out there that helps. Also don't let anyone tell you it's because you are in a stucco house. The truth is lack of a decent cell tower in our area at this time.

Yours must be the exception. All through this thread the same story...trouble with AT&T.

AT&T ADDING TWO NEW CELL SITES TO SERVE THE VILLAGES
As many of you know, I've been lobbying for almost a year to get new AT&T towers.....and better coverage in TV.

The article in today's paper says AT&T will install two new cell sites and upgrade its capacity of existing cell sites in TV. Yay!

Can't wait for the day when I can report the new indoor pool or pools in TV are under construction!

bump, still hasn't happened...promised for the last three years...

Any update from AT&T on the new cell towers?
