Outdoors coverage is fine. Indoor coverage is something to be desired. Even when living just two blocks from the tower, I get 2-3 bars at best, sometimes losing service all together.

Perfect signal because of cell tower right by the town hall. There are 3 other antenna clusters on it so that's probably why other carriers have such good signal.

I LOVE THIS PHONE! I LOVE CINGUALR! It works awesome around the whole area... Much better than the other carriers overall.

Verizon is ok out here. Indoors if you have a phone thats analog capable it sometimes tries to hand off your digital call to analog and usually drops it. Voice quality is decent, if you have signal.

Nextel, I have been with them for years because it is the phone that works provided and the reception is always terrible. I use the phone alot and travel extensively throughout Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana and can tell you that I get many dropped calls, lots of the fun words on my screen that say "network busy, try call again later" and of course, I can be on 94 heading south out of Chicago on a bright sunny day and not have any signal strength. Also, inside my work building which is made of metal and wood, we get absolutley terrible reception and most times the signal goes red, which means no service at all. Also, voicemails come out of the closet about 4-5 hours later after they are sent to you. Isnt Nextel worth it??? No, I dont think so... looking for a new carrier now as we speak because my contract ends this year at last! yay!
