Within the past 3 months, I've gone from having reception in all but one corner of my basement apartment to not getting anything unless I go outside. What's the story?

Nextel is absolutely the worst carrier I have ever had!

Almost no reception at all in North Laurel. Do not get T-Mobile if you live in the laurel area. When I go inside, I get no reception, have to face a window or go outside to make a call. my contract ends soon so I hope to switch to Cingular which seems to have better reception in laurel.

Inside my apartment, I get either one or no bars. On my balcony, I can get two if I'm lucky. Moving around my apartment, I lose the signal. So, to make a call, I have to be perfectly still. This is OK, since I just put the cell phone down on a stool and use the ear piece to speak into it. But it also sort of defeats the purpose of a cell phone. I was hoping that I could just have a cell phone as my primary phone, but it seems that I may have to get a land line. Reading the other reviews for this part of Laurel, it seems you would get bad reception no matter who the carrier is. My neighbor also complains about bad reception. The most vexing part is that my phone gets good reception if I go about a mile north or south of here. So it seems like I'm in this no-man's land between cell towers. I bet you the first company to move in here would have a lot of people switching to them. So, I suppose if you are going to live in North Laurel, think about a land line.

Good service on 197 and 295. Decent service on Muirkirk, but once I turn onto Ispahan Loop, it drops to 1-2 bars. As sson as I step inside, it goes to 0 bars and won't call out at all.

Most of the time the signals are between 2 / 3, but due to the hills, when you are inside the house the signals can be 0 / 1. For the past 6 years, I have tried all major carriers and Verizon is still the best!

Will barely get a signal in the apartment. The phone keeps going in and out of service (0 to 1 bars) and reception is horrible, keep dropping calls. Sitting in the parking lot is a little bit better but still drops calls. While sitting in the parking lot, dropped call to customer service three times in a row!

Dozens of large apt complexes here with no service except on the top floors. 0 or 1 bar here. Can send texts when the wind blows the right way. Sprint said "they are having tower issues" here. But the problem existed in 2005 it looks like when reading these reviews. Just got a Airwave from them, let's see what happens.
