I have an external antenna (5.12 db gain) mounted 30 feet in the air and still can only barely connect.

The highest point in Bay county, the Hathaway bridge, and Nextel looses its signal.

Nothing... ... ... ..Verizon claims they have service in Vernon, FL but there certainly is not

I have had numerous carriers in this area and nothing works I'm thinking about Nextel next, but undecided. When you have an emergency It's nice to have a phone that will work, when you need it.They all want your business, but where is all the advanced technology???? They can talk to our men and women in space, but not on the ground. Two tin cans, and a piece of string worked for us years ago. I am a very dissappointed cell phone user

Does anyone have an answer to no bars in Rio Vista, if I get a call through, it is immediately dropped! Horrible, what are we paying for here anyway!

I have zero bars where ever I go in Sarasota.

I have had Nextel for many years now, I use to tell everyone to get the service but for the past 6 month my service has been ridiculous. I try to call out and, all I get is service busy try again later and even when I hit retry it doesn't' even go though any more. I am very upset with the service I am being provided! And by chance when I do get to make a phone call the person can't hear me and I can't hear them because my service cuts in and out so bad then my call is dropped and it says error 466 or something like that. I am so frustrated, all I have is a cell phone and I use it for work and when I can't be reached by my cell phone on time what's the point of having the sercive. There's times when people call me and I don't get there voice mail until the next day?? My phone says I have great service all 4 bars for the most part. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT GETTING NEXTEL! Yeah the direct connect use to be sweet but it sucks now your lucky if you get though and if you do the other person usually can't 2 way you back! No joke talk to people around you that have Nextel before you waste your money! STAY AWAY FROM NEXTEL!! I am out of my contract and told them that I was fed up with the service and to end my service at the end of my next billing cycle and they didn't even care or try to talk me out of it! This is sad!

T-Mobile is in the Dark Ages in Madison. Might as well leave my phone behind in California when I come to visit home. I will be dropping T-Mobile soon, as I plan to be back in Madison in the near future and need my cell phone.

Out near the Okeechobee / St Lucie County Line for about 4 miles on Hwy. 70 there is no Nextel coverage.

To get Virgin service we must drive at least 2-3 miles from home. We had Nextel before and it was just as bad. Many friends that have other companies also have problems placing and receiving calls from our home. There is a tower at Cleveland Heights Golf Course, but we still have no service. We went with Virgin because of the cost of Nextel for the few minutes that we used per month.
