I have Alltel Touch 2 Talk service from Alltel. I have had nearly perfect coverage. I work for Public Safety and need to stay in contact. Works great all the time even during Hurricanes. I had Nextel but it let me down in 2004 with Hurricane Charley. This is the way to go with PTT service. Alot cheaper also. The coverage has been Near perfect. I am very happy with Alltel so is my wallet.

I just got this phone last week and the reception is very poor in my house. I did not have this problem with the Sony Eriksson that I previously had, so I am guessing it's the phone. I am very unhappy with it - will probably call AT and T - maybe they'll send me another phone (LOL!).

I have Cingular AT&T and it does really poorly in this area. I am lucky to get one bar and normally have to run around in circles to keep a conversation going. I am really contemplating going to two cans and a string to compare the quality of the one or two actual calls I can get a day.

As of 3 / 11, for the past 6 months, even with 5 bars, metro web is unavailable 80% of the time. I love my phone, reception is excellent, but customer service is as bad if not worse than metro web.

I live off of Hwy. 27 and my phone won't work on my road or at my house. I used to be able to use my cell in one spot in my bathroom (it woudl end up dropping the call)but now that doesn't even work. I have dropped call all of the time. I can have 5 bars and it doesn't matter. I can't wait to change my service. I pay about $100 a month and can't make a call without it wanting to drop or the other person not being able to hear me. Nextel has done nothing other than to contact another represenative!

I always have a full signal due to the fact that I live and work within one mile of a tower; however, if there is a hurricane, consider it dead.

Nextel cellular reception is very good outside and some indoor locations. Inside my work bench at home my reception is poor, RF interference from computers seems to have major affect with Motorola i55sr, I am computer Technician by trade, most diagnostic repair is with computer system steel case covers off. This has a major problem with phones reception signal. No reception signal within 3 ft of a computer w/ case off. Phone signal strength drops completely out. The computer case shields RF escaping. BUT I would expect a phone to have it's own protection for this reason. If RF is near to some degree. So I'm unable to use phone on service related technical support calls near my work zone.

Have had issues with texting since the middle of Oct 2011. Sprint has told me that everything would be fixed by 01-06-2012, then 02-29-12 and then 03-10-12, 03-20-2012 and 03-31-12. Do not expect it to be fixed. It has only gotten worse as time has passed. Can't send or receive texts and cannot make phone calls without numerous attempts. Sprint has promised to keep in touch three times and every time they fail to do what they have promised. Will go to Verizon as have many friends.

U cant call out any where near Lego Land... U get a message Data Busy! This has been on going since Oct, 2011! It was to be fixed 03 / 20 / 12 and its still not!

Inside my house - NO reception. On my property, very little reception. It's hit or miss... . sometime 1 bar, sometimes no bars.
