No carrier except AT&T can get reception on second floor

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 buy a new iphone 4s with Sprint 2 years of contract,but no have any reception inside my building whats happens with sprint?

at&t's service seems to getting worse. I barely get 3G coverage and randonly my calls drop

Barely any reception. Phone toggles from 1 bar to none and spends most of its time searching for signal. No reception while indoors. Have to walk outside to make any type of call. Everyone that comes over has the same problem with various AT&T phones.

I always have poor reception in my condo. Calls get dropped all the time. Phone goes from search mode to minimal bars. I've complained to AT&T several times and they always say that they'll look into it but the service never improves. Stay away from AT&T if at all possible. I'm switching as soon as my contract is up.

Sometimes towards one end of my apt.it drops calls, but in general pretty darn good and great customer service too.

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.

Very poor signal around Brickell. Cannot complete calls when inside building. Used to have no problems with Sprint PCS... .

Very bad reception, and spring keeps telling me that I need to charge it at another location. Inside my apartment the phone keeps going to roaming!

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.

To everyone with reception problems, I suggest going to voice.google.com, and turn your Sprint number to google voice, nothing will change from your phone, except for the fact that you'll have to use the Google Voice app for your Voicemail, which is still "Visual Voicemail" but Google takes it a step further by transcribing your voicemails, which means you can read your voicemails, also you can do all this from the browser too, you can see your call history, including missed calls if your phone was off or had no reception, you can send / receive texts, and place and receive phone calls. Basically, if you are on a computer most of the day, you don't even need your phone for anything, And if you travel you can have the number forwarded to your overseas number. Speaking of forwarding, you can put google voice to automatically forward all your calls to your office everyday from 9-5 or whatever custom schedule. Its very easy. Sprint=OK Google=Awesome Sprint+Google= Better than the rest.

Actually I would agree, T-Mobile is not that bad. It had just as good reception as AT&T, the major difference I noticed though, that when in South Beach on a busy weekend, although I had 4 bars, AT&T data was almost non-existence, while voice worked fine. T-Mobile on the other hand did not have this problem. T-Mobile though has me resetting my phone, by taking out the battery, every few days, because it fails to connect to 4G even though I am in the same place all the time.

I get 2 to 3 bars inside. Only drops calls in the very most interior part of building. AT&T is better, Sprint has no signal at all. I am in a 3 story building surrounded by condos on the river.

Apartment is at a higher level of Plaza. I get no reception in most parts of the condo, not even on the balcony. There is one spot in the whole condo where I get reception, but I cannot move the phone from that spot, or the call drops. When I actually get reception, it will drop within a matter of seconds. When connection drops, the phone will spend next 5 minutes "searching" for the network. It usually doesn't find it! If I turn off the phone, and turn it back on, then I will show 2-4 bars. But the minute I make a call, it either fails to connect, or connects then drops. Text messaging is not any better. I have had to go down to the ground floor and go outside to make calls. I've been without a home phone for years now, but am seriously considering getting one. Apparently, the mobile phone companies (at least T-Mobile) have not built out their infrastructure in Brickell area to keep up with all the new development.

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.

Horrible! You don't like to get more than 2 bars? You like to receive calls from strangers because AT&T mixes up calls at random? Love to dial a friend and get someone else instead? Love it when the phone has no signal at all at least 3 times a day? Then sign up now to AT&T GSM, they will give you all that and then more...

AT&T reception at Wachovia Financial Center, downtown Miami, is completely nonexistent. The phone goes into roaming mode.
