For the most part, I have no problems with reception in these areas. I do loose some in nw palm bay, but still have reception.

Cingular = no reception, ever! I can't make a call from my spartment, work, or form my car; there is absolutely no reception in Melbourne, FL. For the past 4 weeks, I have at most one bar, but usually none.

Reception depends a lot on where I am. If indoors, it's variable (not too bad). Outdoors it's good. "Inside" my office in 32934, it's just 1 or 2 bars. I believe in 32934, 850 MHz towers are more prominent, I measured that on a spectrum analyzer.

I signed with AT&T in Ft. Lauderdale / Miami. Reception was terrific with no problems. Then I moved to Melbourne. The service is horrible with more dropped calls and folks on the other end yelling constantly that they can't hear me. I'm completely disgusted with AT&T wireless. The customer service stinks too. I just spent yet another evening pouring over the overcharges on the bill.

Nextel blows dead bears. Can't get a signal hardly anywhere, then it comes up busy.

We constantly have dropped calls on the Nextel Network and messages which arrive hours or days later. I have spoken to customer service... several times. There is a known lack of infrastructure and support equipment to handle traffic. AVOID this service for the time being.

I have been a Sprint subscriber for the past seven years. The service has been very good except for after the Hurricanes of 2004. I have just upgraded my phone of the past seven years to the Lg Fusic. The voice quality is excellent and I have had no drop calls. Sprint now has the 3g system completed in the Melbourne area.

My husband spends every other week at airports around the country. The reception is not reliable. Also in Melbourne and Palm Bay, horrible, horrible coverage. Especially for in-plan numbers. When I call cell to cell, I get no service. If I call a land line where they charge minutes, it goes through. It appears calls are sand bagged... . We are dropped, have no reception bars, fade out, and go belly up all the time all over the united states. I cannot recommend Sprint.

Bad or unreliable reception. Changing phones helped but not much. Not too bad on the international coverage since they contract with local companies for coverage.

Don't believe any good reviews you may read about T-Mobile. They were probably written by a T-Mobile representative. I believed them and got stuck with a plan that cost me over $1,100.00 for the year and all I received in return, for my hard earned money, was very poor reception and often no reception at all. I can make no calls from my home and very few from around town. T-Mobile has kept making promises to fix things but they do not make promises in good faith. Their word is no good. When I tried to get out of my contract they threatend me with a $400.00 cancellation fee even though I am not receiving the service that I was promised.
