I dont know what all these people with bad reception are talking about. Beofre this new LG Vu, I had a Motorola Rzr (hated the phone and it broke all the time) but regardless of where I was in Brevard County it almost always had 4-5 bars. The only exception is down in south Palm Bay past Valkeria it always goes down to 2 bars or so... . Maybe they have older phones, or something, but mine works great as does my wife who is with AT&T also and has a cheaper Sprint (the red one whatever that is called)

A recently erected tower at Brevard Community College, has fianly filled in one of very few holes in Verizon Wireless Coverage here in the area! Great reception inside and out!

If you don't have any reception in your condo, step your fat ass outside. What do you expect when you are in a shielded box, Einstein?

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.

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.

I have pretty good service from my Verizon phone. I get 4 / 5 bars on average and 2 / 5 from back rooms and hallways.

very few dropped calls and almost never find myself saying "what did you say?"

I generally have 2-4 bars when at home. When driving it is usually lower, maybe 2-3 bars. But there is generally always a signal when in reasonable areas. The main issue is dropped calls. I can't remember the last time that I had a 10+ minute conversation without at least one drop. Last night, I had about 10 drops in an hour. This is while sitting still and not driving or moving anywhere. My phone isn't real quick as a smartphone, but sometimes it is hard to tell if it is a phone problem or an issue with 3G here.

No problem with calls all the way around the Melbourne Airport (NASA, Wickum, Sarno, US1).

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.

We lived in Palm Bay ( Valkaria area) for 10 years... NO cell reception trouble at home. Also, I work on Technoology Dr.and can not use my phones in that area either but co-workers with the exact same phones but differtent service (T-Mobile / Verizon / Metro) all had great reception. I have had several phones (LG, Nokia, and Razor) but was told it was the phones. We moved to Melbourne 3 weeks ago, off John Rhodes / Aurora / Wickham area. We cannot talk on the cell in the house due to dropped calls and not received calls. I called AT&T it is NOT a RECEPTION problem, they said it is our phones. My spouse and I have 2 completely different phones, so how is it our phones. I can walk to the tower as it is less then 1 / 4 mile away. I am totally frustrated and tired of having to go outside to use my phone a home. AT&T - NOT WHAT IT USE TO BE.

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.

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 no reception inside of my condo.

Very Poor Service with Verizon spoke with rep they say they cant do anything no new tower plans.

From my home, most calls break up and I have to resort to the land line. Windover Farms subdivision is in a pocket of weak signal strength for AT&T. Most areas of Melbourne are fine, except for near my home and along I-95.

Consistently poor signal, especially on the west side of the house.

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

Very poor in Columbia Village / classroom buildings, It's a little better in the quad and main dorms (not as many dropped calls). I never knew what a dropped call was until I moved here. Even out in the middle of campus, solid 2 bars, its a miracle if I get 3. I found a magic spot on my desk where I can set my phone down and send and receive texts, but thats not the way a cell phone should work. Maybe I'm just too lazy to walk outside. It's hot out there.

Indoors I get virtually no signal (1-2 bars), and my family hates when I call on my cell phone! Outdoors I get maybe 2 bars at home. It improves after I get out of my neighborhood, but even then it can be spotty. One minute you have 4 bars, then you turn the corner and your call gets dropped because you are down to 1. Even while travelling out of state recently I had similar problems (although my brother-in-law, who has Verizon, never lost his excellent reception the whole time). Guess who I'm switching to?!
