Service goes back and forth between poor and none. My Nextel phone would be more useful as a paper weight!

Whats going on with nextel??? Ive been with Nextel for a year. It was the best service when I started a year ago, WTF is going ?? Calls beeing dropped and no service in areas that hard full service a year ago. Not very happy any more

I LOVE Metro PCS! I can only get signal on top roof of my house or if I drive out to a big intersection but for how cheap it is WHO CARES! I love my 34.99 Unlimited Plan... Who needs real coverage Everywhere? NOT ME!

Reception good outside or outdoors but very poor in the house

1 Bar Reception outside, NONE inside. Hope that T MOBILE will be increasing their network out towards this end of Golden Gates Estate.

Only works reliably outdoors, inside is VERY, VERY POOR. Drops lots of calls, an roams incessantly for a signal while indoors. Outdoors reception is good, however I still get ocasional dropped calls.

I get quite good reception most everywhere in Naples, with the exception of one spot in my room in my house. I have run into a problem here and there in certain buildings (old concrete block apartment, FGCU housing), but I haven't heard of any carrier that gets services in either of those two places. Quite happy!

Inside my 2nd floor apartment, T-Mobile reception is quite poor. I go outside to talk, which is inconvenient. Most of the time outside is ok, sometimes poor there as well. Around the country, reception has been good with T-Mobile, but now that I live here, will probably switch. Looking for a carrier with a tower closer to my apartment.

Verizon's coverage and customer service has been top notch. I have had very little trouble getting a good if not great signal just about anywhere I've gone - Naples and around the country. I work in a government building and unfortunately, this is where Verizon (and other cell companies (even Nextel) suffer. As for the customer service, they upgraded me to a better battery for the same price when the one I wanted wasn't available... as well, they gave me their own charger from the back room when a new one was no longer available. Sweet! When looking for a good cell company, look at the whole package (coverage, service, price). Verizon may not be the cheapest, but ounce for ounce you won't be disappointed with them.

Less than 1 mile from Nextel office the Motorola i730 has little to no reception. While in their office I had 2 bars reception. Pretty sad. Probably go with ATT. Phone less than 1 yr old, customer rep suggested buying new phone, Nextel service attitude very disappointing.

Nextel is supplied by my workplace. If I had to pay I would go to any other service. I lose almost every call on direct connect and wireless.

Analog reception is good - even inside buildings - but seems to be affected by the weather. Low cloud cover reduces reception, and rain makes it sporadic. My wife's digital phone rarely gets reception anywhere (in any conditions) but Cingular waives the roaming charges for us because they have to borrow towers from AT&T here. Customer service is very inconvenient, though. Cingular says they can't change our plan over the phone or online, so I'll have to drive nearly 30 miles to Ft. Meyers to a Cingular full-service store to get that. Seems pretty ridiculous. They'll gladly take our money over the phone, but not help us with our rate plan.

Intermittant reception at home and at the local supermarket. Sometimes switches to analog roam even at the exact location it was digital an hour earlier. Could be the handset contributing to the poor service as my wife has Virgin Mobile, operating on the Sprint network, and her handset is regularly better than mine.

When I was at the corner of Pine Ridge and Airport Road, the reception was 5-6 bars all digital on LG's VX6000. Most of Verizon's phones will work around Naples, FL.
