No reception inside, barely no reception outside Frequent dropped calls and gargled voices

Searching for signal... phone dies in about an hour or so. Graniteville appears to be a total black hole for Sprint PCS -- and apparently Verizon, too, as my wife's Verizon Motorola V60 gets no signal either. My kingdom for a service that works at my house...

Immediately coming off of 93 going towards Melrose via Pond St., all reception cuts off in three particular spots.

Nextel is dead from Lake st. in Arlington to the crest of the hill on Rt. 2. I have found that if a call comes in and I am approaching this area I must stop to finish the call or lose it for sure. I have to hand in to Motorola though, they have made one hell of a rugged phone; it has survived countless impacts due to the frustration with Nextel's "service".

Nextel has little to no reception from the Winchester country club at the Arlington border all the way down Cambridge st. to Donnell Ford at the Woburn border. This nice little black hole is nearly as broad and cuts out from the intersection of Bacon and Main all the way through the flats and over the hill until you get to Lexington. I have used Nextel since they came out nearly seven years ago and the dead zones in Winchester have not changed / improved. If you are depending on Nextel to get in "Done" in Winchester, forget it.

No reception to poor reception with dropped calls in Collinsville area of Dracut.

Absolutely terrible reception. Call sometimes goes through indoors, but call drops when the other person answers. Sound quality is terrible (when I do get through). Even on my balcony facing open air and no obstacles, only a couple bars and calls still dropped. Signal strength goes up and down like a yo-yo, from 3 (at most) to 0 bars. I am sick and tired of having to explain my crappy reception to the person I'm trying to have a normal phone conversation with, and I recommend everyone stay far, far away from AT&T (now Cingualar).

AT&T struggled down here, and it is true that there are few towers in town. However Verizon phones at least rang in doors here. This Sharp phone is great for pictures and features, but apparently T-Mobile has no signal at all here. sigh.

Nextel claimed to have coverage in this area. No such luck! Cingular was also a no go, no service [but seems better on the south shore [South Road].

TMobile works well when there is reception. There are more dead areas on the North Shore, Hamilton, Essex, Ipswich. Reception comes and goes services is good for the longest time and something happens. This is o.k. but not what I want or expect.
