nextel sucks and will never improve even though they claim since 2003 that they are working on it. the best way to deal with Nextel and Sprint is to go to another carrier.

inside I get 1-2 bars outside I get 4-5 this changed recently as few months ago I got 0-1 anywhere in wappingers other than route 9 itself.

We don't get any reception until we're a good distance from Hillside Lake.

I get two bars outside and 1 to no reception inside.

Regularly go from 4 bars of service to none without moving during calls. DC service fares no better.

I get amazing service everywhere and have no problems! This is with a MOTOROLA. and Motorola's are not known for great service! Cingular is the company to get. Not to mention 6 new towers are supposed to be going in in this area really soon.

New tower has gone up nearby. After *228 my phone which was previously 3 bars in Hillside Lake, suddenly has 4-5 bars. Verizon beats the others hands down!

It continues to be a real toss up as to whether a call will go through, and also how long it wil take to drop. Calls end by being dropped 85% of the time, despite working wit Tech Support for 2+ years. Wonder what it wil take to ever get usable signal here?

Reception seems to be affected by the weather in this area. Clear and sunny-graet reception... but forget it if it is raining - dropping calls as fast as raindrops!

Signal is not steady. It has a tendency to drop during a call. Or doesn't allow me to continue to dial out. I got the replacement phone from Verizon. There is heavy static during a call. Signal switches from digital to analog frequently.
