Wow... what happened to Nextel? I used to defend them and they turned on me. Lose reception every time I hit Okeechobee around Andros Isle... very frustrating since I drive that road several times per day. Not too mention they were the worst during and after the hurricanes and every day around 5pm I get "all lines are busy" ggggrrrr. Dropped them last week after 3yrs and went to T-Mobile for $30pm less and received a free new Razr to boot. After researching and seeing T-Mobile has led the pack in the customer service ratings each year figured anything will be better than Nextel. Remeber... if you're thinking of purchasing Nextel do the following "SPRINT" to another carrier!

I have had my service with AT&T and then Cingular for 3 or 4 years and the service has gotten terrible in the past 6 months. I'm considering changing to T-Mobile

Switched from Sprint ( 1 bar at the most ) to T-MOBILE - always 4-5 bars - never get roaming in Acreage / Royal Palm Bch / West Palm Bch area - T-Mobile is the best service for South Florida!

Altho I get alot of drop calls, from my financee whom also has Cingular and my mother in New York who, her carrier is Verizon, I get very frustrated. I am thinking of changing my service.

Nextel coverage in this area is horrible. I cannot make a call from my neighborhood, and dropped calls are normal. The probelm extends for several MILES in this area as well as many other areas in West Palm Beach, including downtown!

Great reception outside, inside the store dropped calls can be expected.

Although I only get 3 bars on the Treo 650, the reception is very good even indoors when it drops to 1 bar..

Good service, no dropouts.

I've been complaining to Nextel for 2 years about very poor signal strength with no results. Keep getting cards in the mail saying service in Wellington is going to get better in the next 30 days, but only gets worse (if that's possible). Nextel signal sucks all throughout he West Palm Beach area. I feel like I'm stuck because I've invested so much for the phones. I'm looking at my phone right now, and it has "no service". STAY AWAY FROM NEXTEL

I was with AT&T and never had a problem. If I wanted to get a new phone, I had to switch to Cingular they said. So on a promotion, I got a Motorola V220, signed a two year contract, and a month into it, I am totally disgusted. After charging up the phone, I get one bar after a few hours, weak signal, calls breaking up or dropped and reception garbled. I called customer service, they said it may be the phone, so I returned the one I had and they sent me a new one. Same problem so it is definitely the service. I find myself talking until I realize no one is on the other end because the call was dropped. This is a common occurrence. Customer Service gives the same run around - tower problems, towers being worked on, is the weather bad?, etc. I'm at the point now that I am considering just paying the penalty to get out of this contract and going to another company. In the long run it will be cheaper. Why this company is allowed to continue to do such shoddy business amazes me. HELLO MOTO - CINGULAR SUCKS!

HORRIBLE reception in and outdoors around home. As soon as I get away from it it works great though. Indoors reception is ok... ..outdoors is better tho. Love the phone.

i never get lower than 4 bars and when I lived in new york my phone reception sucked

Metro PCS does not have the best reception. Most of time on my Metro PCS cell phone I usually only I have about two bars. I also can't leave the palm beach area with out my cell phone serching for sercvice.

Nextel's service in Florida (from West Palm to Miami) is the worst that I've ever experienced. I drive that route everyday and drop AT LEAST 10 calls per day. Their customer service is pleasant, but not helpful in terms of getting the situation rectified. Save yourself some aggravation and get any other carrier.

This company sucks after the hurricane. I have called about 20 times in two and a half month and the reception still sucks. They tell me everytime I call to make a ticket up with them so that they can check the towers. They leave me messages that its all taken care of, but the phone only gets good reception for about two days, after that it sucks again. I Suggest that you stick to a different company. Good luck!

Jog and Forest Hill have very bad reception with Nextel. I actually get quite a few dropped calls with Nextel in several areas. Nextel has got to have the worst reception problem of all the wireless carriers here.

Fringe area. Goes from Cingular to AT&T to extended range within a 20' radius. Need to reposition or add a wider range trans / rec. A loaner GSM did the same. I guess a yagi antenna with a building repeater is the answer for here.

Use unlocked Nokia 6820. Reception is ok standing outside but indoors is very sketchy. In general service is pretty good in WPB but usually does not work to well indoors.

Phone has static during sunlight hours.

Reception only good outside. Reception in house and in mall sucks. Reception gets better further east in West Palm Beach or Boca Raton. When traveling to major cities, which I do a lot, reception has been above average. LG phones suck for reception.
