Generally the reception is good. Driving to Trenton on 232 the reception is awful, lots of dropped calls. After the switch from AT &T everything was fine, but gradually it all went sour again. I wish they would be honest and tell people where the towers are and what to expect with the reception.

I have Boost, which I understand uses Nextel towers. Reception is usually ok in town, but not so good outside of town.

I recently switched to Nextel despite the rumors of terrible service, and I have been quite satisfied. I live off Archer Rd. near Haile Plantation and have full service and direct connect all the time, even inside. Much better than my service with AT&T which dropped most of my calls in this area.

I live one mile north of UF, and I cannot get any reception inside of my home. Even after stepping outside to make my calls, reception is lousy. I have called numerous times about this problem. I had difficulty with Nextel in the NE section of town as well. DO NOT use Nextel in Gainesville, FL (worked fine for me while living in MD and AL).

Nextel really stinks in the area. The constantly have issues that result in dropped calls, not getting calls, and direct connect that doesn't work. I am changing to something else, I've had enough NO-TELL for the money I pay.

Terrible. That is why I am here to find a new carrier. It is trluly pathetic and I have long since lost my patience with NEX-TO-NO-TEL

Never had a problem. Can go from Gainesville, FL to Fayetteville, NC without losing signal. Far more superior than other companies I have used.

I have had no problems with reception anywhere in Gainesville. I occasionally get a dropped call in the VA hospital, but not often. I have 3 bars at home in the NW. My major complaint about Sprint is that the sales department is relentless. I receive either a call or a text about about promotions monthly. If I screen the call and don't answer, they will call every single day at the same time. I finally called back and asked to be taken off the call list--the sales rep said he'd make a note on my account, then tried to sell me something before hanging up... .and I received yet another promotion call 3 days later. I find it intrusive and annoying--especially when I'm receiving calls and texts during working hours. I'd love to switch providers, but based on comments here, I don't see any others with good reception in Gainseville :(
