I switched to Cingular in response to their commercial about the fewest dropped calls. I cannot make a call from inside my house. I spoke to Cingular and the said that great coverage was available one street to the west of me. They also said that I lived in the middle of three of their towers. Still I cannot get more than 2 bars on a good day. To be honest, I had the same trouble with Nextel. I paid $200 to get out of the Nextel contract early and switch to Cingular. No one is offering a solution, just "I'm Sorry".

The phone works about 2 bars in most of the area... however inside my home, which is near this intersection- the phone remains at about 1 and often drops calls. I even take the phone outside and it happens again. At first, I thought it was the phone- I got a different model- and it continues to happen! I pretty much can't talk on the phone in my own home.

I drop my connection everytime!

Calling is hit or miss. I drop 40 to 50 calls a month, there is no way Cingular has the fewest dropped calls.

I just built a house in Avalon Park last year and ever since I moved in my cell phone reception has been horrible! Most of the time I cannot answer or make calls and the calls that do get through get cut off! I have to go outside even to get two bars! Inside my home, I ony get one or even none! From the postings here, it looks like Avalon Park is terrible for everyone's abilty to get "bars."

We get no reception inside the house and only two or three bars outside. Probably 60% of calls are dropped even if we have three or more bars. I get good reception around Michigan, though and at several other places in the city. My wife does no better at home with a slightly older Sanyo and our calls are often dropped when she calls on her way home from work in Lake Mary. We are considering changing but we have a lot of time left on our contract.

Nextel really sucks. Dropped call throughout all of central florida. Even when you have full bars, it will drop a call. ITs weird. In my house there are areas where it will drop a call. Its like an invisible ring. I came here to see other providers because as soon as I can I am leaving Nextel's crappy service. The funny thing is there is a sign on 528 which says "Cingular, fewest dropped call" right where there is a Nextel dead zone! *hint, hint

We have had Nextel since the radios were as big as Walkie Talkies. Radio was the number one reason we had the service. We put up with the poor phone coverage as interoffice communciation and communication with vendors and subcontractors were essential. It is sad that Nextel has allowed thier coverage and reliability to erode for thier corporate clients to an all time low. You know it is a problem when we switch the entire company from Nextel to... well, any other provider. 9 out of 10 dropped calls. Radios have become a source of constant irritation.

T-mobile has great reception in Boone / Delaney park area. Extremely happy.

Between 2 and 4 bars indoors, but does drop calls regularly indoors. Outside is fine.

Inside many buildings on UCF campus, Cingular gets no reception (I suspect none of the GSM carriers do), while Verizon and Sprint seem to work fine. Outdoors, Cingular usually works fine, except when enclosed closely by buildings.

I've had Nextel since before moving to Orlando in 2000. Service has been very poor over the last two years. It's almost useless at home (Metrowest) works poorly at work (zip 32810, near Lee Road) and drops often on I-4 on theway to Tampa. I wish I could switch immediately to another carrier but my contract isn't up for another 6 months. I can only surmise that the Sprint takeover spoiled a formerly great service. It's a shame.

I-95 From the Georgia Border to I-4 then I-4 to Orlando and the entire Orlando / Disney area - NO DIGITAL SIGNAL reception! When I crossed back into Georgia, I got Digital Reception again. This is a new problem (as of June / July 2006. In Dec 2005 I drove to Miami on I-95 and had Digital Reception the whole way. I call this a Cingular problem because I got their recording when I dialed *611 (Analog mode very weak)

Reception is extremely spotty and absolutely impossible in most spots in the UCF Visual Arts Building, Student Union, Library, and all points south of the Administration Building. Cell towers are needed badly for Cingular customers at UCF and in the Oviedo area.

I have had Nextel for at least 10 years, The service has allways been poor and its gotten worse

Nextel coverage is poor throughout the central Fl area. Im a truck driver, that experiences weak reception almost everywhere that I travel in the central Fl region. Dropped calls have become the norm. Customer service is a joke. My contract expires in Oct. hopefully my patience out lives my contract.

My reception in my home is only good for twenty to thirty seconds before the call is dropped.

Reliable Sprint within 4 mile radius from OIA

EVERY single call is dropped at least once. Callers are often told that Nextel needs to "locate" me when I am sitting right beside it. All too often, it indicates no service available. Nextel has checked the phone out and says it works just fine and that I must be in an area with low coverage. that must include all central Florida! The bad news is that I just signed a contract with Nextel and have this non-working piece of junk for two years.

Calls drop once you cross Sandlake Rd.heading N. on John Young Pkwy. the reception is awful.
