How's your cell phone coverage in Flower Mound?
I'm two months away from the end of my cell phone contract, and I'm looking to change. We live in a low area, 2/3 of the way on the slope down from the Flower Mound to the shores of Grapevine Lake. I'm now a Cingular customer, but only by marriage. My original contract was with AT&T, and Cingular absorbed them.
My issues with Cingular are these:
1) There's an enormous dead spot on FM2499 at Lakeside Pkwy. and south near the Home Depot. I can't carry a conversation there without getting dropped.
2) I can't take a call in my house unless I'm on the second floor.
Right now, I'm putting together a map of the cell towers in Flower Mound. I've gotten a list of the towers from the Town, based on existing Special Use Permits (cell towers have to get a permit approved by Town Council). I'll try to post the map soon. If you know of dead spots in the Town, send them to me at chip@fm2020.com, and I'll post them here. Perhaps we can get better coverage here.
There's a new tower near Fire Station #3, off McKamy Creek Rd. It's a Verizon tower, and it's less than a mile from my house. I think that's who I'll be taking a hard look at, come contract time.

So... what's the verdict and did you ever chose a cell phone provider?
I chose Verizon Wireless. They are still the only carrier that can give me useable service in my home.
