Nextel reception near the airport area is poor and at times no signal at all. Constant dropped calls and loss of service is frequent here at the terminal as well as the Aloha Airlines Freight area. All my buddues on Netel expieriance the same here.

Okay reception, but none in Mililani Walmart, and most elevators. Calls get dropped for no apparent reason even when I have full signal stregnth. All in all, okay service, but Iam looking for a new carrier. Was thinking Nextel or Verizon.

It never fails. Everytime I drive through Punchbowl I always lose reception. I have numerously complained about the poor reception in the area, yet nothing has been done about it. Whenever I enter the area now and am on the phone I pull my car over in fear Ill lose the call.

T-mobile service... terrible for my needs. Calls are always dropped when i'm driving down propect by Stevenson Intermediate School, driving up Punahou into Manoa and in my office downtown. I have a friend in Manoa valley who complained to T-Mobile about dropped calls from his home and was released from his contract because his address showed as a dead spot for T-Mobile reception. I'm forced to try Cingular or Verizon at this point.

Horrible reception in my building, even by windows. Phone shows 2 bars and most of the time I can hear the person on the other end but they can't hear ME when I talk. My roommate has T-Mobile and says it's much better. What a let down, AT&T.

Good reception with T-Mobile and better customer service than AT&T

As a realtor who is on the road, I must say AT&T is teribble! My company pays for AT&T so I use it for local calls, but I have verizon phone for long distance, time and time again I have service with my verizon phone but nothing on AT&T! Worse reception ever! I have been complaining to them for two years and three phones! They keep saying they are putting up extra towers, but that's just a lie. No reception in parts of downtown, Manoa (by Mid-pacific High School), Diamond Head, Hawaii Loa Ridge, in the back of any valley and North Shore past Waimea. DON'T sign with AT&T, their service and coverge is terrible!

Service good some time and bad some time. Antenna full bar but call fails. Don't know what to say but there has to be a better server out there somewhere...

There is no cell phone reception at all in the watershed areas of Tantalus and Round Top Dr.

Reception is strong and relatively noise-free when there’s coverage. Problem is, coverage is iffy even in areas where it should be best, like Downtown Honolulu. To make matters worse, once I’m out of commission, it takes unusually long for my phone to re-establish a signal and even longer to receive notification of missed calls or messages.

Reception is good in residential areas, poor anywhere else. Unknown if it is the phone, or the service, but having a call loose reception when you're dialing 911 and talking to an emergency operator trying to report a car accident, or calling 911 to report that you just saw an elderly man collapse on the side of the road, is just plain bad. Both situations happened to me, right in downtown honolulu. If anywhere in the entire freakin state should have good service, downtown honolulu should be it. I want to be able to try a cell phone provider and phone before I make my final purchase decision. You can test drive a car before you buy it, and most retailers for almost any product will let you return it if you're unsatisfied. I wish cell phone providers would get with the program, and stop their collusion in trapping customers in long term service contracts, with phone and service combinations that they know are poor (for their particular geographic area).

Almost perfect reception. I can usually continue a call in the elevator of Honolulu Tower.

Sometimes the reception is good but most times the reception has static. But then again it's rather hilly in this part of town.

I agree with the other who said this phone with this carrier sucks, in general.

Excellent reception here in the Hawaii Kai area.

Phone Display shows 5 bars. Float's Mobile Agent 0.1.0.30 XE averages 80-90% signal (connected via Bluetooth serial connection).

well we know that salt lake doesnt have the BEST of receptions but when i go to town i get really good reception.. better than attws gsm and sprint and verizon

No complaint whatsover. Best phone for my purposes.

This phone with this carrier sucks... royally. I think my next phone I'll pay more attention to the reception qaulity of the phone.
