Cell Phone Coverage Challenge
Anyone watching television at any given time is almost sure to be interrupted with a commercial from AT&T or Verizon claiming to have the best cell phone coverage. Every time I see the commercial for AT&T, I want to call the company and ask them who they think they’re kidding.
As mentioned in previous posts, we have a place in northern Florida, close to St. Augustine, in a town called Hastings. When we are there, we have no service. In fact, when we come within 20 miles of there we have no reception. The funny thing is that we do receive and can respond to text messages. I’ve called AT&T to question them about the service and they’ve told me again and again that the signal should be strong and that we should have no problems. Apparently, this is just another “song and a dance,” but I have no choice other than to change services or invest in a cell phone booster, which might or might not work.
Understanding that we are in a somewhat remote area, maybe I shouldn’t expect service. I do however, think, that in St. Augustine, which is a somewhat large populated city, there would be service. Not the case. Last weekend we were on the beach, no interference, densely populated area, NO service. I personally would like to pull up the map that they so proudly display for their coverage areas and challenge anyone in the areas that AT&T claims to have service to prove them wrong.
