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.

Verizon services is very good in most part of Bloomington-Normal. Esp at work in State Farm buildings where T-Mobile sucks. Cingular is also fine. But Verizon rules.

Very happy with reception in Bloomington / Normal area. Have all 5 bars showing inside my house. Have more trouble in Chenoa and Gridley area. We have traveled all over the nation and reception is usually very good. I traded from an all digital model which dropped calls constantly to the V265 model over a year ago. The V265 has even made calls with zero bars showing in rural areas.

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.

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.

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.

Hwy. 150 / Towanda-Barnes, Bloomington, IL 61704 Wed Oct 04, 2006

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.
