I switched to Cingular a little over a month ago from Nextel. I heard good things about Cingular, all the commercials and etc. I was a former Cellular One, then At&T customer so I figured since I had GREAT service with them in the past. I figured Cingular with new technology and more towers would be GREAT also.... ... . Boy was I fooled, I get great signal 4-5 bars everywhere but fewer dropped calls... . I don't know who they compared them too, but I drop approximately 60-70% of calls, and the other 30-40% of the calls are garbled so bad that I wish they would just drop. Cingular customer support is not very impressive either I was basically told that my 30 day trial period was over and I was stuck with the service for the next 2 years which I found to be unacceptable customer service. I don't know if it's the phone or the service but it's terrible. I wish Cellular One was back again. I had their service from 1988 with the bag style phone, went to the brick phone, then to a Motorola flip phone. I never dropped a call... . ever, sometimes a short burst of static but that was all. I traveled all over the US, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Italy and never had a problem (Italy had limited coverage at that time in 1993) but I talked from Italy to the US and everyone I talked to thought I was calling from the Hotel on a landline. Does anyone know of a phone and provider that offers service in the US and Virgin Islands that doesn't have signal issues or dropped or garbled calls?

Switched from Sprint ( 1 bar at the most ) to T-MOBILE - always 4-5 bars - never get roaming in Acreage / Royal Palm Bch / West Palm Bch area - T-Mobile is the best service for South Florida!

i never get lower than 4 bars and when I lived in new york my phone reception sucked

I have been with Nextel for 3 to 4 years and they have never failed me. I came from Cingular which back then was absolutely horrifying. Their costumer service was terrible. If I had a problem they told me oh well, there was nothing they could do about it. Now, with Nextel costumer service is always to set things right. Rather with credits to my account or free phones. They are great

I always have a great signal 3-4 indoors perfect outdoors. Love Cingular, Hated Verizon. Definetly would recommend it!

Wow... what happened to Nextel? I used to defend them and they turned on me. Lose reception every time I hit Okeechobee around Andros Isle... very frustrating since I drive that road several times per day. Not too mention they were the worst during and after the hurricanes and every day around 5pm I get "all lines are busy" ggggrrrr. Dropped them last week after 3yrs and went to T-Mobile for $30pm less and received a free new Razr to boot. After researching and seeing T-Mobile has led the pack in the customer service ratings each year figured anything will be better than Nextel. Remeber... if you're thinking of purchasing Nextel do the following "SPRINT" to another carrier!

Altho I get alot of drop calls, from my financee whom also has Cingular and my mother in New York who, her carrier is Verizon, I get very frustrated. I am thinking of changing my service.

Great reception outside, inside the store dropped calls can be expected.

Good service, no dropouts.

Although I have been maintaining 3 to 5 bars, calls are not working in both direction and those that do get dropped for the last two weeks. Sprint tech support says they are having trouble with the closest antennae to this location. They say it may be hardware or software but they are looking into it. This is downtown West Palm Beach, how does this company expect to satisfy customers when they are just looking into the problem for 2 weeks now. It's pretty useless to have a phone service that is currently not working for the 53 employees of my work plus the 100's or more that work and live in this area.

I have dropped Cingular and switched over to Sprint since they have a better rate for the plan that I wanted. With Cingular I used to gets "Missed Call" messages when the phone never rang or I would get an alert that I have a message. This alert would come through on a Tuesday for a message that someone left on the previous Friday.

Although I only get 3 bars on the Treo 650, the reception is very good even indoors when it drops to 1 bar..

In community of Golden Lakes Village... Blackberry phone on Boost / Sprint is two bars, very unreliable. IPAD 2 3G Verizon averages weak two bars, rarely enough to download many web pages or Email if inside a init. Some locations get a stronger two bars, and function slowly at downloads.

I have a Verizon Broadband Card which I use for my internet and this location gives me about two bars but if I drive up to around Okeechobee Blvd.and The Turnpike it jumps to five bars. I noticed there are no towers near this area and most are close to the Turnpike. I did see what appears to be a new cell tower that looks like a giant flagple with a American Flag and Eagle at the top. This new tower is located at Benoist Farms and Okeechoobee Blvd. I am unsure which carrier this tower is for and wondered if anyone else knows?

I'm hoping that with going back to Verizon is the best move because T-Mobile in Wellington is the worst. There are so many dead zones until you get to State Rd 7. Inside the house... no signal, going down Southshore... no signal... and especially Lake Worth road... .I won't even have one bar... even if I wish for it. Goodbye TMobile.

I have had my service with AT&T and then Cingular for 3 or 4 years and the service has gotten terrible in the past 6 months. I'm considering changing to T-Mobile

Metro PCS does not have the best reception. Most of time on my Metro PCS cell phone I usually only I have about two bars. I also can't leave the palm beach area with out my cell phone serching for sercvice.

Fringe area. Goes from Cingular to AT&T to extended range within a 20' radius. Need to reposition or add a wider range trans / rec. A loaner GSM did the same. I guess a yagi antenna with a building repeater is the answer for here.

Use unlocked Nokia 6820. Reception is ok standing outside but indoors is very sketchy. In general service is pretty good in WPB but usually does not work to well indoors.

Phone has static during sunlight hours.
