Never a problem. Anywhere in this area. But... I've also yet to have any signal loss or dropped calls in the majority of Orlando. My only drop-out or "missed calls" are when heading to Cocoa Beach and about midway through, in the middle of nowhere, there's a temporary and small dead zone.
Reception for T-Mobile has been very good in this city. I do live downtown, though. Have not experienced any dropped calls and very clear reception. Only issue is my phone model (great pocket PC, horrible phone), so just switch out sim card to another phone and it's perfect!
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)
Use in my home which is old and solid structure. Good reception although phone usually shows one bar. Very very occasionally incoming call will go directly to voice mail. Rarely voice mail is delayed by several hours. I attribute all of the above to my house being very solid. When outside, five bars and improved reception, no missed calls. Satisfied with coverage but still want an Iphone.
The reception has been getting steadily worse in the Orlando area. I have recently spoken with Nextel and the only thing that they can tell me is that 1. They have no plans to upgrade / increase the coverage in the Orlando area, aka no new towers and 2. They are still repairing hurricane damage from a year ago. I am switching my company to another carrier.
