Do cell phones work at Disney Quest?

[westjones]

If we seperate for awhile at Disney Quest from our kids, can we 'call' them on cell phones while we are inside to find each other?
Thanks,

yes - but you may want to put on "vibrate" and somewhere you can feel phone because Quest is loud. My mom and I were there last week w/ ds 9 & 12 and we were constantly calling each other.

Most cell phones work inside. What service do you have?

I know that Nextel has 100% coverage inside DQ, as with all WDW buildings since they use it as their main communications.

I use verizon

Definetly put it on vibrate. When I was there with my Hubby we got seperated and I tried to call him. He, of course, did not have it on vibrate/ring mode and did not get my call. I wandered around that place for nearly 20 minutes before I found him and his discovered that he had missed 5 of my calls.

We have Nextel/Sprint, they work.

It is the same as driving down the road. You have hit and miss coverage...pockets.

Verizon also works pretty well inside DQ.

Right now we have Verizon, but I am waiting to see what the new Disney Mobile family plan will be that is coming out in 2006 (by Sprint). We may switch to that (if I can get a cool Disney Phone ). But if I don't like their plan, what we have now is Verizon on one, and then we have a 'pay as you go' one from Virgin which I think uses the Sprint system.

So sounds like we will be able to do this! Thanks!

My cell phone (T-Mobile) will not work well on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd floors of Disneyquest (the signal is sporadic), 4th floor is pretty good, but on the 5th floor I get a full signal (which I never get anywhere else).
