Constant dropped calls. Almost impossible to get a single bar.

Have had dropped calls or not working since April 5

Awesome reception and service.

All along 8 mile Rd from Southfield Freeway to I-75, forget about cell service or direct connect. Either, no signal or poor reception. Another dead zone is in the City of Redford from 7 mile to 6 mile along Beech Daly and 7 mile to 6 mile along Inkster Rd. All these areas have been the same for as long as I have been a Nextel customer and that's been 6 years. Nextel keeps pumping the money into the Nextel Cup series and not their own darn company. Soon to be a former customer

Reception in the house dies quickly as I go to inner rooms and the basement. My wife's old 6120 gets better reception than this new phone, making me consider switching for an LG CU500 as another 3G option. I am on the border of 3G coverage, getting EDGE reliably with 14KBps data speeds here. Outside I am in 4 or 5 bars all the time around the area, and I do feel Cingular is the best value proposition. Verizon has more areas with sufficient reception to keep a call going, but Cingular seems to have better signal strength when there is coverage. Verizon costs $20 a month more than Cingular for the same service time, plus Verizon's habit of locking out features on phones and sneaking in service charges has put me off them for the near future. Wouldl like to know more about relative reception of various phones than I can find so far...

I continue to be dissapointed and frustrated with Nextel's poor service. Push to talk only works about 75% of the time. Transmissions that are scrambled, unable to connect, no service are all very common. Numerous dropped calls and many areas, especially when driving, no service. Horrible. I've spoken with Nextel techs, and they have an interesting fix for all of this. They make the customer take readings (tower and signal strength) (with the customer's phone) from problems areas. The customer then has to call them and tell them what the readings are. Nextel reps don't do any location testing out in vehicles (so I've been told by Nextel). That great service; make the customer do the troubleshooting.

Sprint blows period! Been with them for 6yrs and have always dropped calls. Serivice techs are famous for telling me it's my phone and that I need to upgrade the software - bull! I've become a regular at their store to upgrade phones and software only to drop calls on my way out their doors. Also, I have to stand in one particular spot in my driveway to make a call:( I've traveled all over the state and most of the time I don't have any service while friends with Cingular and Verizon do. Sprint's prices are good but if you can't use your phone or won't because of all the dropped calls then what good is it?

T-Mobile has always had excellent customer service, but it doesn't make up for the CONSTANTLY dropped calls and MANY dead zones. We are currently looking to switch to Verizon, as I am sick of not being able to receive / make calls in buildings, in the car, on the street, basically anywhere. T-Mobile is truly "T-Maybe" and truly a disappointment.

Can barely use the phone in the house at any time. Dropped calls often occur. Outside is OK
