I have had Nextel for nearly two years. In Grand Rapids and Lansing, it is typically very good. However, I recently moved to Detroit. On Wayne State's campus, I consistently get NO SERVICE on my phone, even when I'm outdoors in a relatively clear area. The only place I get even 2 bars is in my room by the window, on the 11th floor of my building. Even then, I drop calls constantly. I have been dealing with their customer service ever since I've been here, and "engineers are working on it". Having Nextel blow smoke up my ass for nearly a month is not helping the situation. Nextel is terrible in Detroit, I would say avoid it if possible. Any cell phone company is likely to screw you over, just pick the one with the best overall reception.

Drop calls all the time between Zeeb and Wagner

Verizon's map shows coverage in this location but I have not been able to make an outgoing call nor receive an incoming call. I had hoped to get rid of the land line phone at my cottage but can't with Verizon.

Not worth the headache of trying to get it to work.

service is bad no reception in house at all can only use if your outside also prblems of T-Mobile sending bills and service reps on phone is bad too. would not refer the company to any body can't wait till my contract is up.

Barely anything at my house. Dropped calls 24 / 7. Switching when contract is up. They have the worst coverage, horrible customer service, and cheap phones. They suck

i was told Cingular was putting up some new towers in my area in fact I was told they were up and had not been turned on yes late summer I was told hope they do it soon :]

the phone is full bars..but I am on data only plan... and when I get to midland it saids network data services are currently unavailable. Soo that means just the phone that works... a big help for a deaf guy hum?

Have had poor reception with T-Mobile in Royal Oak and Northville, too. Looking to change service.

Downtown Iron River has no reception (tower is reported to be active by fall) but between Iron River and Crystal Falls, the signal strength is mostly five bars (calls do drop while travelling toward Crystal Falls, down a steep hill, losing "line of sight" to the tower. You get coverage again at the bottom of the hill)
