Nextel

2 Out of 5 (2 stars) | Bend, Bend, OR 97701 |

What has happened to Nextel? My service is so poor these days? I heard the Walkie talkie portion on Sprint / Nextel is going away. Is there any validity to this?

I have had T-Mobile for several years. Service has not been well, and I'm finally tired of it. Any suggestions on the best carrier?

I have recently switched to Verizon Wireless and it is the only carrier to work at my house. There is a new little store next to Longboard Louies on the East side of Town, right off of Hwy. 20. It's called The Wireless Source. They sell only Verizon Service but it is by far the best cellular experience I have ever had. They are knowledgeable, kind and patient. They have followed up with me to see how my service has been, (which it's been great, no dropped calls, easy to use phone, etc.) made sure I mailed my rebate in, and I could tell they genuinely cared about how my service ways! 2 thumbs up to The Wireless Source. I'd recommend them to anyone! It's amazing how much great service can make a difference.

Typically 0 bars, though I am sometimes able to make some calls with poor connections. Can get up to 3 bars, but is short-term and temporary. I am able to receive some calls, don't receive some, and some are dropped. Sometimes voice mail notices are not received timelly, then I receive several at once days later. Text messages typically come with little delay. To receive a decent (3 bar) connection, I have to drive into town about 1 / 2 mile or so. NOT recommended.

I get no reception at all inside my house and if I wander around outside I may get reception briefly before my calls are dropped, which is totally reasonable considering in a few weeks it will be below freezing and I look forward to possibly making a phone call standing about 50 yards from my house in the snow. T-Mobile suggests I wait until they put more towers in the area perhaps I should hold my breath for two or three years.

I have to sign up with A T and T wireless phone service in order to use the 50% family plan her business offers she and her family. She works in S. F., I obviously live in Bend and I teach online and would use the email functionality to communicate with my students while awar from home. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions about A T and T in Bend? I have to decide in 2-3 days. Thank you so much, Susan

5 Out of 5 (5 stars) | Reed Market | Teakwood, Bend, OR 97702 |

Good in most areas. Spotty in NE Bend. Get dropped / no reception in big stores when in middle, but get reception closer to doors. Good most areas of town, even inside buildings.

I think someone (perhaps Tmobile) just put up a tower this weekend. I went from virtually no reception at my house to now 'nearly' perfect! I moved to Bend two years ago and had Verizon. I wanted to switch as I always had delays on my vmail and generally poor reception. I spoke to alot of people before I changed. It appears there is no great solution or clear cut winner in Central Oregon. Bummer. One thing I've learned recently is that a no cost national roaming plan with T-Mobile (or perhaps any carrier) isn't what one would think. On my phone I can search for networks and switch from T-Mobile to USA890, which is US Cellular. However, on my travels to Hood River, I can't switch my network because T-Mobile doesn't have a roaming contract. My point being is unless there is a contract there is no signal (despite a tower being active). No roaming isn't what you'd think.

30 day no hassle trial. DON'T DO IT! I did and the reception was lousy but all you have to do is cancel service if it doesn't work, right? WRONG! I canceled the day after I received my phones via FedEX. I sent the phones back the next day with the FedEx shipping form provided. I called and canceled the account the same day. It's been two months and numerous calls. On every call a nice person says they are so sorry and I am right and everything will be straightened out. Then I get another bill or nasty call from financial services about my past due account. Talk is cheep. Verizon has poor coverage and worse customer service. Nice people don't make up for no follow through.
