Dropped calls and very splotchy call quality when connected. Will not use Nextel at home because I know call will blank out in middle of call - guaranteed. Back out on the highway is ok but whats the point? Will switch carriers soon. Just doing my research on who best to switch to.
I have no reception at all inside Sheraton while my friends who use AT&T have 4 or 5 bars. I often miss call around Honolulu. I only get a miss call message after the call has been missed. It sucks. Unfortunately, I just committed to a 2-year agreement because I wanted a new phone. If there is no serious improvement in the next 2 years, I am switching to AT&T.
I drive all over this island and shop at Ala Moana, Ward Center, where ever. I can talk on my phone all the way at the bottom floor of Ala Moana with no problems. I have noticed a few spotty locations heading up towards the North Shore, but they are few and far between. I can talk in my house without problems. No static, no dropped calls. Verizon works better here than it has in other places we've lived (Fort Ord, anyone?)
