Who has it and how is it in this area? My cell phone bill for AT&T is expensive and it doesn't even include texting or internet. I'm trying to find an unlimited plan for 2 phones that is reasonable in price and service. Any other suggestions are welcomed.

I had Metro PCS for awhile. It was pretty good. Never had a problem with reception except for a short "bald spot" along I-4 between Orlando and Lakeland. Although if you travel to areas where they don't have coverage, it is a REAL pain. For roaming you have to call in and set it up. If you get home and don't call and cancel roaming, you'll be charged roaming fees even though you're in your home service area. That's why I switched to Boost CDMA. (Uses the Sprint Network) If you don't leave Orlando or only travel to TPA, JAX, MIA it's fine and they have a great phone selection. But beware, if you have to go into the store for service/account issues, it will take a l-o-n-g time. Be sure to evaluate what your need, if any, for a data plan will be. That can easily throw a wrench into the works.

Wife and I switched to Sprint PCS family plan in October last year and we've been pleasantly surprised with the service and price.

I have used MetroPCS for 2 years now.

Some areas the signals go in and out (maybe my phone, but live near Wekiva and service is spotty at my house)

Good deal at $ 84.00 per month for wife and I.

I would pay $10 a month more if I found better signals with unlimited, but haven't yet.
