Outside the Sweetbay at the SE corner of Kingsway / Windhorst reception is great. Inside the building, reception is terrible and calls are dropped. Alltel told me that my old Nokia 3587i had the best reception of all their models, and it was the LG AX5000's fault for bad reception.

North Brandon, just outside of Tampa? AT&T drops calls, looses connection, even outside. Really? Wihin a mile of two cell towers? I have friends with Verizon cell service and they get 5 bars no matter what. This is Tampa... .not out in the rural areas. Thank God my contract has expired... .goin' to the Big V for new phone... .

I have two phones--one personal, one work. I drive down Lumsden every day, and in the same spot, between Parsons and Bryan, I cannot make a call. If I am on a call, it drops. This occurs on either phone. SOOO, it's not the phone(s)! I know it's highly residential in that area, but there could be something to work with for a new tower?

I have bad reception in buildings even my own home. I have to walk around the house till I see bars, then I have to stay in that spot so I don't have my conversation ended. Outside it just depends on the weather, or the amount of trees around

Nextel is horrible. I live in the middle of Brandon and you'd think I lived in the middle of Kansas by the signal I get. 99% of the time I can't make a call on the first try. My signal goes from full to none back to full in the space of 5 seconds. I get "no service" quite frequently. I get dumped constantly. Two way sucks. I am "under water" most of the time. But the bright side is it's pretty good in alligator alley while many others cut off - too bad I only drive on that a few times a year. They REALLY need to work on signal.

I get decent Service with SPRINT and I have no real complaints. The overall service

The intersection of Lakewood and Windhorst is actually OK (spotty) but when you turn onto my street the signal goes to 1 or 0 bars. We had to get an Airave from Sprint in order to get reception in our house at all. Without it, I couldn't get online without using WiFi and half the time my phone beeped at me to tell me there was no signal and it was roaming. The Airave fixed the signal problem in my house, but not on my street.

I use my phone as a home phone. The reception is off and on. But otherwise the service seems to be as good as any other.

Most of the time I get perfect reception but when it comes to church or at home (which are relatively close by) I have horrible reception. Everywhere else almost perfect. I have friends who have AT&T, Alltel, and Sprint and they usually have the same problem at the church. Verizon works great around the area though.

I Live in a second floor apartment that faces South I must stand at the window to get any bars. I get great reception around Tampa and Brandon.
