Been with Nextel what seems forever, tho now that I have moved to Walkersville can't use my phone at home or in the yard. Called the Rep; this spindless brain fart, he didn't care that I had problems sitting at the edge of a tower, tho do make my payments. Told the little fart, guess I'll change service. His responds, Go ahead, he didn't care one way or another. I have had two cell phones with unlimited service for many yrs now, payout is only $100 month, for being with them for so long. No more, Nextel not only drop the ball here, and their Rep is a turd, but now lost I as well. <<<>>>

Scince Sprint took over Nextel, I can't get a signal anywhere in Catonsville. Frederick Rd, Edmonson Ave, Rt 40 and all roads in between are a "no signal" zone

Since Sprint took over nextel, I always drop a call on the exit and don't get recption back until right before the rest stop.

Nextel's coverage is THE PITS, especially in northern Baltimore County and with the i710 model. I live in Upperco, and there is 'No Service' in my house and most of the tinme in my yard. The coverage is for the most part unacceptably bad, in my opinion, all around the Baltimore metro area. Approaching the heart of the city from the south (heading north on 95 and also I-395) nothing... the dreaded No Service screen. Areas of our beltway, especially on the southwest side, the same non-existent unavailable service. Dropped cals are the exception, not the norm. I had Cingular for 3 years and was at times frustrated, but nothing compares to what I am enduring with Nextel. I am probably switching to Sprint to avoid early termination. Take my advice if you live in the metro Baltimore area and avoid Nextel if at all possible.

A new tower was constructed in the area 6 months ago. Cingular started operating on the tower 4 months ago. Verizon still has nothing.

Cannot speak for other cell phone services, but Verizon Sucks out here. Occassionally I may get a bar for like 30 sec.

Varies from 0 to 1 bar. Same for Cingular. Both are GSM most likely same tower. The carrier coverage maps tell a different story. I like to see a carrier actually perform a signal strength survey and fix the problem. One the other hand using Sprint's EVDO has been very successful

Calls drop out at dip down to South River.

No Reception at Georgetown on Forest Dr.heading towards Bay Ridge. Loud static starting from Chinquapin Round Rod down to Bay Ridge. Dropped calls down Bay Ridge Ave. to Eastport.

There is no reception in my neighborhood anymore. This started about 6 weeks ago. Cingular cannot seem to explain it.
