I roam or get no signal in my own home EVER! I have called customer service on it several times and no help. I was told that I'm in a "dead spot". A dead spot with 15,000 or more people living in and around it! I also went on a cross country trip in May, I was roaming from Las Vegas untill I got to Kansas City Mo.. ROAMING on an innerstate...

every were I go I get great service I esed to have AT&T and that sucked I also had Verizon and that sucked to

We live off of Brent St.right near El Capitan in the far northwest part of Las Vegas and get at the most 1 bar from Verizon. We called and they said to stand near a window and that cell phones were meant for mobile use and not in homes... .geeez. Great resolution. I saw where Nextel is bad up here too. I saw there is a Cingular Tower near here... .wonder if they provide good service... ..

I've been told that I'm between two towers and that is why I have no service at my home. If I'm actually willing to stand in my back yard with my cell phone raised above my head with my hands-free, I can sometimes get 1-2 bars for a few minutes... . What a pain!

Cingular has good to great reception in this area, very pleased with Cingular in Las Vegas.

I've been very impressed with my T-Mobile reception! I work on the strip (at Tropicana) and get 5 bars even in the basement location of my office! I used to have Verizon (and a Samsung phone) and never got a signal at work, even when I was on the casino level. With T-Mobile I get 5 bars 97% of the time and the lowest I've gotten is 4 bars (usually in my home at Decatur and Harmon). I also travel frequently to Henderson and get 5 bars there too (at the 215 and Gibson). The combination of T-Mobile and a Motorola phone is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Several months ago I was having lots of dropped calls and message problems but that seems to be gone now. I think the phone you own has quite a bit to do with your reception. T-Mobile has coverage issues for sure, something to think about befor getting into a contract with them AND the customer service is "ok to poor" as well.. The could use a revamp in that area! Over all I am happy with T-Mobile.

Since the merger with AT&T and a rollout of a new network they are working on, when they moved us from their legacy system to the 'New and Improved' system, it got worse. Dropped calls, calls rolling right into voice mail, minimal to no reception - just didn't make sense. Had them switch us back to the legacy system and it works pretty good - not great, but better then average. All carriers need to figure out how to make this work - only if the FCC wouldn't stop the technology out there from reaching the US, maybe we could have Great Service with any or all of the carriers...

Ok so in my house some days just great then other days no reception at all. None, zero, zip. I get messages hours even days later even though my phone was on the entire time. I had Sprint for years in Washington State and had pretty good service overall even in rural areas, then come to a BIG city and expect better service, but no way. All smoke and mirrors. Traveling around the city not bad most of the time except near high power lines or around mountians or out at the lake or driving from here to CA or here to AZ or here to... ..get the message? I then called and have spoken with customer service who keeps blaming my phone, but then tells me if I bring it in they will check it with the computer to re-program and should be ok after that. NOT! SCAM.

There appears to be lower number of towers on this side of city with many tall buildings and hospital to interfere with transmission from my home. I can go 200 yards north (outside my complex) and have perfect reception. This is a major dead spot. Many dropped calls and broken transmissions even early AM on weekends.

Spoke to T-Mobile and basically they dont care if you get the lowest color grade service - you are in contract and they do not credit dropped calls. So If my cell phone dosent work in my home office what good is it? The whole 14 day talk or walk needs to be fixed because there is no way to accurately check of a phone gets the coverage you need based on your daily travels in two weeks. Jason

Verizon is the Best in Las Vegas. We had T-Mobile and Alltel. No doubt Verizon is doing the most improvements on their systems. And are continuing to improve every area that they are improving wherever they take over. They use to be lousy in Denver, Co.. But last time we visited it was clear as a bell! GO VERIZON!

Poor reception overall. I probably get 1 bar on average at home and perhaps 2 with roaming. Calls are dropped all the time at home.

I live in a nearby apt complex, and I cannot get more than 2 bars when on the property (other phone models displayed similar problems, so it's not the phone model). Once I am out on the street the reception is 5 bars, but the loss of reception at home is extremely frustrating. However, if I am able to find a truly dead zone in the apt I can get the AT&T network which offers full bar coverage, but no way to force the phone to use that network. I drive all over the valley, and when on the road there are very few places where signal will cut out or drop a call; usually out in the boonies so it's not unexpected. One other factor is if you are trying to use a phone in a supermarket parking lot. For some reason there is an increbible amount of interference (very similar to what I find at home) so pulling out of the parking lot is a must to ensure good reception.

We live right next to the High School and we don't get anything in our whole house, not even roaming!

Nextel sucks so bad! I hate the phones, the dropped calls and reception is awful, service only next to the Nextel sign on Paradise and DI and sometimes downtown. I disliked them so much I paid the early termination and changed to Sprint... So far no problem with an i650. NOW Nextel is going to merge with Sprint, Guess next time I'll try a Sat Phone and pay $5.00 a minute, but at least I will be able to make and complete a call!

AWESOME coverage, if used other carriers and not the same... Great Customer Service

I've been with Nextel for over 4 years. At first, I loved them, but since June of 2004 they suck! I do not get reception in my home, if I do have a call come thru, it gets dropped! I lose reception in buildings all the time and forget traveling between here and California, reception goes in and out the entire way. And for the last 2 months, Nextel has tried to charge me for services I did not order, which means I have to call them every month and have the same conversation with them about my bill. Nextel will not let me out of my contract without paying their early disconnect fee. Come this August I'll will be changing to Verison! Only 3 more months of torture!

I totally loose signal past Ft. Apache when I'm on Severance. I feel like I live in the Boonies! When will we ever get a signal?

I have been using Sprint since 2002. Although the customer service sucked, I remained with Sprint simply because of the better than average coverage area and very few dropped calls. However, since January of 2005 something happened and the coverage totally sucks! It's not my phone either because everyone else that I know who uses Sprint says the same thing. I'd say that 9 out of 10 calls get dropped all over town. I'm switching to Verizon...
