Switched from Cingular due to dropped calls, or calls that went straight to voice mail without ringing. Thoroughly satisfied with Verizon service from Palm Beach to South Beach. I do wish CDMA / Verizon had a more inspired choice of handsets... ... .

Full Bar reception everywhere in South Florida.

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..

Full signal on street side of building, yet you can garantee dropped calls when you go to the bay side along West Avenue.

I think it may the phone (granted though there are not a lot of cell towers in miami beach... only get reception by window while indoor (almost all of the time I have to go on the balcony to get reception).

No reception at all really bad signal.

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

Never got reception inside and around my house. Service in Surfside in general was spotty.

verizon works pretty flawlessly here... just like most everywhere else in the country i've been (and puerto rico)

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.

i never lose signal---with sprint, I over look the bay here---great signal reception all that---so sorry for those of you with Nextel in this area, I had to make the switch as I work from home and NEED to have relieable communications at all times----

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.

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.

no reception in my apt building

It doesn't work in any building or at FIU. Works fine outside. Works good while driving. It doesn't have such a good receptiion in North Miami Beach. T-Mobile has the best customer service ever! I am their customer from last two years and am never disappointed. Sprint has the worst customer service. A friend of mine even told me that they charge for calling customer service.
