My husband and I both have Boost Mobile, which is by Nextel. We got this service after trying Cingular then Virgin Mobile. We do live in a trailer park so thought maybe it was all the metal around. Seems most of the neighbors have some type of Nextel service, I can always hear the "beeps" from the direct connect. At first I had to put my phone in the front window, which faces north. And then I only get MAYBE 3 bars. But if it is a cloudy day, its raining, or maybe the sun is out, I have a hard time getting a signal. NOW, I am having to put the phone in the back bedroom window, which faces south and even then I am not getting but 1 or 2 bars. And unless I sit practically in the window, I cannot talk to anyone. I can no longer even go outside to get a good signal. Not sure what happened in the past week, but it has gotten AWFUL! I agree with one of the other posters: you have to stand on one leg, throw an arm around, stick your tongue out to the left side, jump up and down, then maybe you will get a signal. This is getting downright awful. For as many people that have cell phones, you would think the companies would put more towers up /
