Reception itself is good, but ATT data network repeatedly fails. Several times a month I will have good signal and no data transfer. ATT will occasionally acknowledge network problems, but generally only after extensive troubleshooting of my handset.

Just moved here from SC and the reception is terrible. For a metro area you would think they would have better coverage. No 3g most of the time. I have the Iphone so I can surf and call. Pointless here. But reviews of other carriers is just as bad. Come on Miami work this out!

Just moved to 15th floor of a highrise. Very poor reception, people can't hear me, calls drop if I move. Can't get more than 3 bars, even on the balcony. Used to live on the beach at 63rd and Collins and got excellent reception there.

My apt faces the ocean, decent reception unless I go into the bathroom, where it drops noticeably.

I could really rate the reception as 0 (No reception) inside my apartment on Collins and 60th. I am looking to switch cell phone companies because ATT SUCKS in that area. I literally cannot make any calls nor receive any calls when I am at home inside my apt. Ordering from a restaurant takes at least 5 phone calls. I REFUSE to get a land line so I am looking desperately for a new cell phone company. It seems from this site that Verizon may be my best choice.

Really sub-par performance. Dropped calls about 5% of the time. Echoes on many calls. Scratchy, 'digital' sound. Especially bad late afternoon. Cingular says it's my building (I live on 23rd floor) and that cell phone service is designed to work only on the fourth floor or below. Well, in Miami about half of the population lives in high rises, so that really doesn't cut it. I can also clearly see a cell tower about 1,000 feet to the northeast. Also, almost no service on the other Venetian Islands, or on MacArthur Causeway or I-195 from Miami to the Beach. Cingular says that they "gurantee service" but that they cannot "guarantee it will work." Whatever. Yet another dissapointing experience with a quais-monopoly business. Other areas that are problems: Four Seasons Hotel on Brickell, American Airline Concourse D at MIA. The beach, south of 8th street.

Drops the calls every time. Cingular sucks. The merger with AT&T has not helped. Considering a switch to T-Mobile or Verizon. Both are top ranked throughout the country.

The Cingular signal drops frequently though not as much as around 91st to 93rd streets..

AT&T's GSM network is the absolute worst. Half of the time, when I try to place a call in the evening, I get a big red stop sign that says "system busy." When the sytem is not busy, my phone calls last only two to three minutes before they are dropped. Quite often, I dial a saved phone number (that I know is correct), and get some random person's phone. Conversely, I recievce misrouted phone calls from other AT&T customer.

This just happened... I don't understand... Metro used to be great in my apartment, full bars - three at worst - but now I am at 0-2 bars all the time since about three months ago... is there a tower out or something?

Metropcs works great and is a good value for the money.

No reception at all really bad signal.

Very poor reception and some areas no reception in all and to many dropping calls.

I am at this site to pick my new service company. My Nextel phone is useless here.

Calls are constantly being dropped--even worse, inside my apartment, sometimes signal goes from full bars to no service -- while phone is not being moved. Signal almost always drops while going over bridges.

For no reason whatsoever, I can go from having a full signal to NO signal. I have to turn the phone off then back on to get a signal back. Reception seems to have gotten about 80% WORSE in the past year that I've had this service here. The price goes up and the service goes down... seems about right for Nextel. I dont need direct connect that badly to have to deal with at least 10 dropped calls per day because one of their towers decided to drop my call for no apparent reason.

Nextel really sucks! No reception whatsoever. It doesnt make sense. I get reception when I am near the water. Pretty scary.

You seem to get drop calls. No signal red special. Throughout the whole island in the city OF North Bay Village by Channel 7 SUV. All Nextel phones.

Very poor indoor reception. Many dropped calls.

haven't had any problems in Miami. love Sprint
