I have very good reception here, but we have noticed driving around Bloomington / Normal that there are good spots and bad spots. Repeption depends on a lot of things: carrier, phone, surroundings, towers, building construction, etc., many of which change frequently.

Signal is great when closer to the city. Out in far east Bloomington the signal is not so good. There are certain rooms in my house that I can't talk in. Also in my garage I can't talk on the phone. There is a completely dead zone around the Freedom gas station where my phone doesn't work at all, neither does my wife's. With all the new homes and businesses going up in the area and an interstate ramp in the plans for Towanda-Barnes and I-74, I would hope that Nextel is planning to fix this issue.

Nextel has nearly blanket coverage throughout all of McLean County. The service is used by nearly every public safety agency in the county, and I hear few complaints.

4-6 bars of service and voice quality is great; however data is unusable in this area. I did a speed test due to web pages taking 5 or more minutes to load; and pandora, youtube, or any streaming service... ... forget it. The speed tests range from 20-50 kbps most days during peak hours. If you need a good data service, don't use Sprint in this area. I have called tech support about the issue as our business has 3 phones and all of them have the same issue and they just transfer you around until you finally give up and they seem to have no plans of fixing the problem.

Texts always go through, calls dropped once at most. I don't recall any dropped calls, but I cant say it hasnt happened. Sprint works great all around town. The lowest bar number I ever get is like 3 maybe if it's in an iffy spot.

Average Reception here. Unlike many Sanyo models that cheat by padding the readout, the 7400 tends to show accurate reception ratings on the screen. My reception around Bloomington / Normal is usually average to above average.
