No signal on T mobile, for several days. Pathetic!

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.

Moved to South Miami Beach from Cambridge MA where the phone and service were working OK. Now 3G seldom seems to be working; 0-2 bars max calling signal; calls go straight to voice mail(I never hear the phone ring); seem to receive txts OK, but getting error messages 90% of the time when I try to txt out. Virgin Mobile's coverage map says I should have Best signal and 3G coverage... This is really far below what is acceptable.

haven't had any problems in Miami. love Sprint

Very poor reception. Every 3rd call drops.

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.

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

Worst customer service ever. No reception after 9:00 PM (just when the free service starts)Beware of this fake company.

If you are a free spirit, you're rich and want to cheat your wife, go ahead and buy any of their fake Sprint undercover homeless plans, they don't have service randomly, they have a sucks customer service that always claim that your phone need to be checked with their undercover liers specialists, u'll have the perfect excuse why you never ask your wife calls.

Even if the bar shows 3 / 4 of signal, I receiving complaints from my friends (even worst, from my girfriend and from my boss) absolutely no reception at some places, as meridian ave and 17th st, I'm Sprint customer since 5 years ago, and can tell you all, since this company joint with nextel, I can't receive more than 70% of the incoming calls. I've called customer support more than 5 times, in the last two months, they telling me that I've to call from any other phone in order they can test my phone, again, I've changed the phone 3 times, now trying, with "top of phones" palm treo 700p, same problem. my bills are $140 a month, can anybody believes that?. I've a lot o friends using metro pcs, and proved to have (even if metro PCS is the worst signal strenght company in south florida) they complaint about my service. Amazing! you pay 3 or 4 times of the worst competitor and get only a half of service. Please try to ask any friend before to sign "a nightmare contract" with the worst company in miami beach.

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.

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).

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.

Very poor indoor reception. Many dropped calls.

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.

No reception at all really bad signal.

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

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