Terrible! Ever since I recieved this phone in January. Numerous drop calls. Gargled voices with 1 to 2 bars. I dropped my land line, have to get it back because I cant rely on this phone. I think it is the phone because I had no problems before.

Verizon And Alltel both inside the house only have 2 bars and sometimes the phone will not ring. It just will go to voicemail

Had Bellsouth before they became Cingular and service rocked. Now for 5 years the service has been horrible. And after years of promises that the service will be better and the horrendous customer service I'm leaving Cingular for someone who knows that cell phones are supposed to be able to actually allow for a conversation. I can sit next to someone with a AT&T phone (after Cingular bought them) and I get 0 bars while they get 5. Had Cingular change my phone 5 times.. changed SIMMS and took it to 4 different stores - still no reception. In 2 months I am out of my contract and I'll never look back after dropping Cingular.

Just bought this phone and expected to connect the web / email side of it to a super-fast EDGE connection. No luck yet only GPRS at 7k. Will keep trying. Cell reception on this phone is great! Tri-band phone.

Reception is good enough to use as my only business phone. Only downside is Verizon's lack of selction in new phones but, I wouldn't think of swithching carriers because Verizon customer service is very good and the reports from Cingular and especially Sprint users are horrific.

Ever since Nextel merged with Sprint the service has been going downhill. It has definitely gotten worse this past year and the last couple of weeks it has become intolerable. I called to complain and they said they would send someone out to check the towers. I haven't heard back from them since. They told me that if they could verify that I dropped over 5% of my calls I would qualify for a refund. That's laughable as I probably drop 80% - 90% of my calls. MOST calls I have to call back, or get called back, an average of three times to complete a simple conversation. Everyone who knows me jokes (and sympathizes) with me over how poor my carrier is. We've begun referring to it as "NextHell." If you are looking for a new carrier in the Naples area (as I am now), do yourself a HUGE favor and stay completely away from Nextel.

Spotty

Very hard to make a call indoors. Mediocre outdoors.

Wow, can a cell phone be any more useless. To say the signal sucks would be an understatement. Also, I am convinced that chimpanzees could provide better customer service.

reception is hit and miss but inside my apartment it is poor. If I go out onto the lanai it is at least usable. I was wondering if it was the phone?
