Somewhere in this area of 275 there is a dead spot. Guaranteed to drop a call.

Reception is terrible in South Tampa overall. Bayshore Blvd, forget it. I work with a guy who used to be the Nextel rep for South Tampa. So I can tell you they know it's horrible. There used to be a temporary tower at MacDill AFB. Why it's no longer there, I don't know. I can't wait to switch.

Usually great reception all over the state, except for a dead zone on I-4 between Orlando and Tampa - EXCEPT in Seminole Heights. Zero reception inside the house - poor reception outside the house. I am dropped from every call that I am on if driving on Florida near Sacred Heart Acaademy (MLK). Like clockwork.

I have had Nextel for two years. The number of dropped calls and dead spots keeps getting worse. I use my phone a lot in both Orlando and Tampa and there is no difference, both areas are terrible. Even calls made during off peak times in the middle of the night are dropped repeatedly. I would not recommend Nextel to anyone.

Generally speaking, Tampa is not a Nextel area. The reception is despicably poor across the majority of the city. I have complained numerous times to Cust Serv. Every time I get the same response - the Hurricanes from 2004 messed up alot of stuff. It's ridiculous. If I come across $200 I'll cancel my contract immediately.

Dropped calls all the time. Calls frequently go straight to voice mail. Can't have a conversation longer than 5 minutes. If I use my wireless earpiece and leave the phone sitting on a table I have a better chance at getting 10 minutes of decent coverage. Otherwise, it's hopeless.

Cannot get reception in my home / home office on Watrous Ave. near Bayshore. Friends with Verizon get it just fine here. Sprint people told me, "oh, well, sometimes you just can't get it everywhere." Been with Sprint 9 years, but must change as I run a business.

I have Sprint, and I do seem to have low bar levels most of the time in Tampa, sometimes even near towers, could be because of the towers receiver ownership, I am happy, pretty much with Sprint service, but we Sprint users, according to what i,ve read in the reviews above, could use better reception, I know all cell phone users sure pay enough. Maybe if the c-phone companies concentrate more on service, and less on fancy features. thanks.
