(T-Mobile, Verizon, Cingular, Centenial, Sprint, any others)

I have Sprint (work) and Cingular ( personal).
So far it from my experence it is dependant on the weather.
Can't really comment on the reception inside buildings....I work in the OR and the reception hit and miss with some of the rooms due to the monitors and lead linings.

AT&T in and around Orlando is awesome...I had them for 6 years while I lived there. I had their standard service for awhile, then recently switched to their GSM (Next Generation) service. Good stuff.

I use tmobile, and I have access in many places. I currently live in Minnesota which is where my service is out of, but when I went to Orlando, I still had coverage without roaming (We have nationwide coverage), but that is good for when you travel home.
