No service on Sprint or Nextel's network. I have to drive to the center of Wakefield just to get a signal good enough to make an out going call.

No reception at all on Central Rd. from beach to almost 2 miles inland.

System Searching..no reception in my house or immediate area..very sporadic at best. We need a tower

Reception goes from 5 bars to none in less than 1 / 2 mile. T-Mobile says these should be 2 bars but there is no reception.

No reception. Piggybacks Sprint network. ! / 4 mile north or south 2 to 3 bars.

Absolutely no service in the White Mountains region

Usually nothing. Driving.

Reception drops off to zero as you head west on Route 123 toward Route 9. Seems to drop to zero near my house! Service seems to blink on for a few moments late at night -- messages come through around 1AM for some reason. Nextel cannot tell me if any plans are in the works to expand. Verizon says the same thing.

Why repeat what people have said below... ..Nextel is not an option if you live here. You might as well just carry a broken, no working phone around and pay a monthly fee for it. That is how bad Nextel is in the Newmarket, NH area and basically stays that bad all around the Rockingham County Area.

Had Verizon but no service at or near my home. Switched to Cingular yesterday just to try it. Still no signal at my home. Even worse, no Cingular signal in other parts of town where Verizon at least has weak coverage. Wish there was a better way, I guess I'll just keep switching carriers and returning phones.
