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... .

Never had a single issue with Verizon. Never a dropped call. Only wish they had better phones and cheaper plans, because there reception is the best.

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 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.

I have been a Verizon Wireless customer for almost six years now, and I must say that I get consistently good reception. The townhouse I live in is a test for reception as anyone that has T-Mobile or Nextel, has to go outside to use their phone. Mine always works, and my sister has Cingular which works most of the time. Verizon's rate plans aren't the cheapest, but what good are all the minutes if I can't use them? I'm sure I'll continue to be with Verizon Wireless.

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.

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.

Perfect reception throughout the Tampa Bay area PLUS I've used this phone with T-Mobile service in Budapest and Buenos Aires without a hitch. I'm ready to cut the land line--who needs it??!

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.

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