Have to leave the house and walk into the street to make a call.

phone calls seem to either echo or drop alot drives me crazy cant wait for contract to end

Out side around 3 - inside 0 to 1 through out most of my house, can hardly make any calls from indoors.

Verizon pretty much sums it up for florida. If you're look for perfect signal, and amazing clarity, Verizon is the way to go. I call my peeps on other networks, and I can't hear them nearly as clearly as other Verizon users. Additionally, I've never in my entire life had to look for a signal, or wait for my phone to pick one up. There are, of course, some obvious exceptions such as elevators are very large, electronics heavy department stores (Best Buy, Wal-Mart, etc... ). I always laugh when I see people pointing their phones in different directions waiting for a signal. I've never done this. Nor have I ever lost a call, or had even slightly poor reception.

Cingular (former AT&T) service is spotty. Sometimes it's great and all the calls sound crystal clear. Other times, I get multiple dropped calls, "Call Failed" messages, and basically unusable service in the same locations. This is the case on both my phone and my spouse's phone. I don't know if this is because I was an AT&T customer either, but I don't plan to sign another 2 year contract with Cingular just to find out. Cingular's customer service has also been very bad, and they've screwed up my bill, only to tell me it was my fault and then later correct the errors without apology. Their solution to every problem I have is "you should sign a new 2 year contract with Cingular." Bah!

6 Bars! Excellent Coverage! Works great at all 4 schools (Seminole High, Seminole Middle, Bauder Elementary, and Seminole Vocational) and surrounding areas!

I get 1 or 2 bars at my house

Nextel offers no coverage for the area between: I will lay out 4 points of reference and get no reception inside this box Park Blvd.and 131st to Park Blvd.and Oakhurst all the way through: Ulmerton : Oakhurst to 131st. they have assured that another tower is going up but they have been saying that for 2 years since I moved to this area? I have used this service due to work for 6-7 years and cannot find another provider to offer the minutes that I require. Customer service is NO HELP! what a wonderful feeling to have no Cell coverage inside your own home.

Great reception between Park Blvd.and Ulmerton.

far better than Sprint my previous provider. phone gets great signal and call quality allmost everywhere I go and I travel all around pinellas clearwater and st pete

Good reception outside and verybad inside my building.

Excellent even in the house.

Oakhurst area of Seminole, FL - Until several months ago signal level was acceptable and outgoing calls went to "extended Service" on Altel tower. That has changed. Now no useable signal and no handoff to "extended service". Although there are at least 3 cell towers visable from this area,(obviously not Verson Wireless towers) Verizon Wireless phones won't even roam. Because this represents a decline in service, those affected should be able to void their contract with Verizon Wireless without penalty based upon their (Verizon Wireless) "constructive termination" of service. My experience with Verizon Wireless regarding this issue is much the same as with other carriers-they dance around the issues, lie about it and when push comes to shove they basicly tell you "it's tough, we never promised service in any specific location".

Standing in one spot phone constantly goes from full signal to searching for service outside. No signal in almost any house or building. Vison constantly down. Tried Sanyo, Nokia, and Samsung no difference. Now have Cingular it's 100% better than Sprint here.

finally ditched sprint for a phone i can actually use rollover & 7pm night minutes a big plus

reception inside buildings and certain places around town terrible at&t is just as bad. t-mobile is far better.
