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.
