Hello everyone,

I have a virgin mobile cell phone/service, does anyone out there have this service/phone, and if so do you get reception in WDW?
Thanks!

I have verizon didn't have any problems with my phone. Not sure about Virgin but i believe that they are owned by sprint and it should be ok hopefully someone will have a definate answer for you!

The boys and i have cingular and DH has Nextel (for work). None of us have had any problems.

man we have sprint, and about 10 feet into Epcot and service was DEAD. Maybe now that they're joined with Nextel service will be a little better. Everywhere else on Disney but outside the parks we didn't have a problem. Maybe it was spaceship Earth that was messing up the signal.1 LOL

I have a Tracfone. Service can be spotty, however I am not roaming when I'm at WDW so it only takes 1 unit per minute!!

YES! Virgin Mobile works fine in all areas of WDW. I think once we had to walk a little to get reception because of a large building in the way, that's it.

I have Sprint and had no problems in WDW with our phones, it was an excellent way to communicate in the world with two teens wanting to do their own thing.
Have a fantastic trip.
