Nextel has many customers who live in this area. It is also the fastest growing area in the county. The East Bay LLC investment group has very big plans for this area, with extremely expensive real property construction. The question is, Will Nextel / Sprint wake up and put a tower up in this area? Alltel has one. I have to use Nextel for work purposes, if not I would still be with Alltel. Nextel placed a new tower on w 23rd street earlier this year. Why?? I had service on 23rd street already. How about placing some where they count. Constuction workers are Nextel's larges subscribers just for the quick ptt feature. They need service in this area more than ever. If you live in east Callaway, Do not buy Nextel.

I barely get a bar in my apartment and sometimes it will go to two bars. I have many dropped calls. Not sure if its the phone or cell tower in general. Sidekick II is more of a data phone so I'm wondering if a different phone would work. Have spoken with T-Mobil help but they have not responded about cell reception. Probably won't go with them again. I had good luck with Sprint and Sanyo phones but disliked billing practices.

I get poor reception on Tyndall AFB, and no reception inside my office. I have to go outside to make a call. Even if I do get through, I am constantly having dropped calls. The worst part is that the calls do not actually disconnect, so you keep eating minutes while not being able to talk. LOUSY CUSTOMER SERVICE!

I get good reception with my phone, but it's unbelievable how often my calls get dropped. It's impossible to maintain a call for longer than 20 minutes. Even a 10 minute phone call is a stretch. What a waste of money... very unsatisfied.

Nextel svc on hwy 22 east of Callaway is poor. While on 2297, no bars but I have"service". Most calls drop. No svc in a house. East of Callaway heights, no svc all the way to and including Wewa. Nextel's reception and clarity dosn't even come close to my wifes Trackphone.

Get good Sprint signal throughout Callaway... Not sure why some complain about it. I've had Sprint for a loooooong time and it's still going strong! Apparently, WALMART is a problem for many people and carriers... .it's funny because I've been in walmarts all over this country and this one in callaway seems to be the only stubborn one! lol.

I have had good coverage throughout Panama City with T-Mobile. The only place I couldn't get coverage was over the DuPont Bridge in and around Tyndall AFB. They have since put up a tower and T-Mobile added a cell, so the problem has been remedied.

I have always had decent reception with Alltel, but lots of billing issues. Last week I was in the mall and spoke with the new Verizon Wireless kiosk and they let me try their service free for 15 days, and wow what a difference it made. I know get full reception everywhere, and since all their plans are nationwide, and voicemail is free, there aren't any complicated billing issues. Not to mention I can feel free to use the phone anywhere in the country without worry.

Cingular doesn't seem to be too bad, but the worst place for reception is my house. It's not like I live out in the boonies. I live in the middle of Panama City and my reception is on average about 0 to 1 bars. According to the customer service maps, I should get "good" reception, but reality is far from what is on paper. I think it's also pretty good everywhere else with the exception of inside of Wal-Marts. I probably would give Cingular a higher rating, but not having good reception at home absolutely kills me.

Poorest phone and service I've ever had. It only worked in a very few areas of Panama City and never worked from Tyndall AFB south and heading toward Talahassee was also a big zero,somewhat like the service!

Have to walk to end of driveway to keep a call. Pick up a very weak Sprint signal inside, that prevents digital roam mode 90 percent of the time. Phone is unusable in Sprint mode in house.
