I get good reception at just about any location in Dade / Broward counties. I used to have a GSM phone/service with AT&T and had all kinds of low signal levels and dropped calls. The phone was cute and small, but the reception with GSM was lousy. I changed to good old reliable TDMA, and the basic brick-like Nokia 2260 get the job done very well. The number of bars seems irrelevant. Even at the minimum one bar display, the reception is still good. Little or no dropped calls. TDMA still rules!
I get perfect reception with my Sprint phone in Miami. My calls are rarely dropped - maybe 3 calls a year fail. I've had my Sprint phone and service for over 5 years in Miami. My husband has had his Sprint service for much longer and receives great service and reception as well.
I have a 3 yr old Nokia that gets excellent reception everywhere but my office on the first floor. It works fine upstairs but as soon as I get to the first floor it either goes dead or I get only one bar. Generally I am satisfied with Verizon but I wish I could get calls in my office in downtown Miami.
Totally crap service - 4 out of 5 calls dropped. Signal goes from full to nothing for no reason at all. Sometime phone goes off the network for 5 minutes. It would be better to send smoke signals to be honest.
I can't use my phone in my apartment on the 24th floor. I have to walk outside onto the balcony and move the phone around in hopes of getting one bar. The same went for my office in downtown Miami on the 22nd floor. It is horrible. Sprint and Miami don't seem to mesh well. I used the same phone in Tampa and didn't have any complaints.
Very poor reception all over. Nearly no reception indoors. Absolutely none in large buildings, garage, elevator, etc. Many dropped calls, signal faded, etc. One service technician claimed PDA phones like this just get poorer reception. Maybe consider using tin cans and string.
