There is nothing worse than Nextel, I travel the Blvd. NJ Olney etc. It is embarassing to try to have a business conversation since so many calls are dropped or no signal is available. Beware!

I can have a full signal one moment and nothing in the next. Nextel sucks

Very poor reception along Frankford Ave corridor, especially from Tyson Ave to Harbison Ave. Little or no reception indoors.

With my W800i and T-Mobile service, I get 4-5 bars outdoors. However, I step indoors a few feet, I get no reception at all. This is also true at my home in ZIP code 19422, as well as at work 19104.

only get reception in two areas of my house. reception is absent throughout most of house.

Good reception in the area regardless of in or outside the house.

Works outside on campus fine. Not at ALL inside buildings.

nextel's reception is by far the worst in the philadelphia metro area. i've had Verizon and T-Mobile as carriers before, and never had any problems until I made one of the worst decisions of my life by choosing nextel / sprint. even after the merger, the service seems to be getting worse. not only is the reception light years away from other carriers, nextel's customer service is atrocious. i've never had such rude customer service reps since i've dined at any restaurant on city ave. bottom line, I will NEVER choose Nextel as a service provider again nor do I recommend ANYONE to choose nextel, EVER!

I had Sprint before and it was terrible--constant dropped calls. Verizon reception is fairly good in my apartment and all through Center and Old City.

The reception out here isnt bad, but the way the houses are made, I believe that they are the reasons why we have so many deadspots. I get reception outside of my home, ut the moment I step in my door, the phone reception dies (for every carrier). I have a hot spot in my room where I will get 3 to 4 bars, but I have to keep the phoen there and use a bluetooth headset to talk without movign the phoen due to fear of lost reception.
