lost signal too many times can change now,try T Mobile..

Poor reception anywhere. Worst service I have ever had. Forget Cingular! So much for their "Raising the Bar"

I have no reception in my house. Harlem from 171st St. to 111 St. has no reception. Two way does work, but you get bits and pieces. I have had Nextel for 6 years and would not recommend them to anyone since they merged with Sprint.

U.S. Cellular is terrible I cant call in side my hose cause I will lose reception and when I am with my friends I compare what theres is and its so much better than mine. Except I get full bars inside the Chicago Heights movie theater.

Switched to Nextel after years with Verizon Wireless due to great reviews from family and friends. It was ok for a few months, but after Sprint took over, the bills have gone up significantly and reception has gone down. I rarely get reception in my house. I will receive random voicemails hours after they were left. Also, text messaging services are very slow. Friends get my texts days later! Their customer service is pushing incompetence! I told them they were losing a customer at the end of my contract and service rep answered, "too bad for us" in a sarcastic tone.

I travel nationwide on buisiness and never have a problem with reception with Verizon. Verizon is more expensive, but they do work almost everywhere in the US. I've talked to people that love a certain provider, then talk to others that hate it. I really believe people have problems with any service providers MOSTLY on their model of phone, phone firmware software updates, service provider roaming updates... Ask your provider how, they are free. If you have problems with reception in your area, try changing your phone right soon after you get it (a couple days) to a different model, or brand.

Very bad reception in Tinley Park. Ridgeland, Oak Park Ave., dropped calls at home.
