Nextel has the very worst reception of any company I have ever had. The customer support is very very bad. I just came back from Yellowstone went through 5 states in 18 hours and I had reception for 2 of 18 hours. Please learn from my mistake and do not go with Nextel / sprint. My wife has a different model phone and we both had 2 hours of reception in 18 hours of driving so you can't blame the model of phone. Most of my Family has nextel / sprint a total of 13 of us and we are all changing plans for the same reason.

T-Mobile seems to work well everywhere I go except in my apartment.

come on ppl who hate Cingular are just hatin

nightmare, even through out the city static, drops, ghost calls. they ar getting worse all the time. All the Verizone phones I tested work good on coldwater.

Horrilble horrible reception for cingular!

Switched from Sprint PCS with average reception to T-Mobile with no reception.

I drove this on Christmas while on the phone with my friend in New York (using the bluetooth headset). I had great reception all the way over Coldwater into the valley, on the 101 and the 134 until I ended the call when I got to my destination in Pasadena

Seartin 1 mile north of this intersection and for a virtual 1 mile radius Verizon has no covergae, Only Sprint offer sporadic coverage

Really Good reception around here, but their customer service sucks now, and lately lots od dropped calls.

This phone really blows. Matter of fact, call it the Lewinsky of cellulars. I can't get a decent signal if my mother's life depended on it. It usually stays at one bar and sometimes can't even find a signal. This phone sucks booty juice. The gross old, moldy, warty kind, too.
