After having been a Cinuglar customer for many years, we switched after losing all signal strength in the UCF area. Went with Sprint and have been happy ever since. Get reception nearly everywhere we go, but I believe it helps that we use Sanyo phones, which we learned gets great reception anywhere. Friends and family who have Sprint PCS also say it works great for them. Might switch to Verizon, though, because we've been hearing great things about them in this area.

I can't get reception for the life of me. It shows on my phone 4 bars, but as soon as it connects to who I'm calling it drops to 0 and says to retry. I really dislike my service and am about to change it over.

Nextel gets great service in our area, sometimes overloaded circuits are a problem but more often than not reception is perfect even if you keep the phone in your pocket. No signal searching with the antenna up, generally signal is never a problem.

Very weak signal where I live (1 bar). Lots of dropped calls and choppy reception.

Problem developed recently even outside of a building at a car dealership.

Tried to find a single dead spot, indoors or out, in the UCF and Orlando area, but failed.

Excellent reception all over east Orlando and metropolitan Orlando area.

All bars inside and outside.

Hardly works at all, constantly get complaints about reception inside and outside the house. Only til I drive about 1 mile north on Alafaya do I get good reception.

I get reception (although not a perfect 5) everywhere in Orlando even on 520 east headed for Melbourne. The story is the same on the 417 near Narcossee - not full bars but uninterupted reception. Verizon's Local plan and My LG VX6100 even had reception in Mobile county Alabama: the rural town didn't even have a Post Office. Verizon is the best service I've ever tried and the VX6100 from LG performs almost flawlessly for me.

Drops in and out, messages arrive very late. Phone often gives incompatible charger message. Calls to Nextel to get this reception problem fixed go unanswered. Very dissapointed. What we were promised and what we got far from meet expectations.

I get no reception at all at work. Sprint PCS service is poor and the support is also poor!

Sounds like a fax machine when speaking to people. Voices are very choppy and computer like, however they can hear me fine on the other end. Coverage around Orlando seems okay, we just can't make phones calls from our own home. AT&T rep at Waterford Towncenter store said there is something wrong with the tower by UCF and they (whoever that is) have been fined.

Always get through down here, but get dropped calls around Maitland area occatioanlly. Great reception inside buiildings. No problems arounf Disney area.

Very poor reception in Wedgefield development -- service in the house is almost non-existant. Phone wants to switch between AT&T and Cingular (roam) service, sometimes in the middle of a call. Very dis-satisfied. Service ok if I drive 2-3 miles west. I'm going to try an antenna external to the house, but really don't expect too much help from it. This is true on both my phones, and AT&T says "that's the way it is -- you're too far from a tower."

How can I improve reception in my home? I live very close to downtown Orlando and signal is pretty good outside but not inside. It is 1 bar or no bars and often shifts to roaming.

Great reception. When I call someone, they cannot identify if I'm calling them through a normal phone or a cell phone!

The area where I live is close to Disney, so great reception is expected. The whole way down Osceola Parkway to my job has nearly full signal. The only place that doesn't have great service is down towards Poinciana.

Very strong reception in the area, good signal in house. Have had no reception problems with the service at all.

No reception in my house and much of the surrounding area. Reception gets stronger once you pass the intersection of Landstar and 417.
