No real problems with reception here. Occasionally after we dial we will get a "Call Failed" message, but I don't recall the last time Nextel dropped a call when it was already connected. Sometimes it seems to take a while to connect a caller to us... "Please wait while the Nextel subscriber you are trying to reach is located." Overall, it's good, and I'm not looking to change.

Verizon coverage is terrible here. I'm a long time Verizon customer in Huntsville, AL. Since moving to Richmond, KY I rarely get more than one bar. I'm switching to AT&T.

I have a Tri-Band phone, which means I dont' get the 850 band! But, amazingly, I have great coverage! In the country roads, it isn't so good 1-2 bars or so, but in downtown Richmond, I get 4-5 bars EVERYWHERE. ~Ibrahim~

Have never had an issue with signal reception.
