NEXTEL--I loved Nextel for years and years. I have had it for nine years in all. It was the best and the 2 way was great also. Other companies progressed but Nextel did not. It has stayed the same. They have all passed Nextel up. I hadn't even heard of some of them in 1999. I get no coverage at my home inside or out. On the road it goes in and out. We have a cabin in the UP and we leave our phones at home because a few miles over the bridge there is no reception at all. In Bronson, Mi at Matteson Lake there is no coverage and there is an Nextel office just 10 miles away in Coldwater. That is like stealing. If they are not going to keep up with the times they should get out of the business. I have a GPS for my car and unless the weather is very bad it always comes in. So you know a phone could do the same thing. The companies just want you to spend money on phones that don't work to make as much money as they can before they switch over to satilite phones. Thank goodness we still have land lines and who ever called them land lines 10 years ago. I'm mad that the companies are soaking us up for money before they give us what we want, a cell phone that works. They are all bad!

Rarely get any signal indoors, sometimes will connect if near a window. Works slightly better in Lawton village. Will look for another provider when contract is up.
