My reception starts crapping out at the beginning of Fisher rd. but I have reception until the bottom of Dean Dam hill, then your guess is as good as mine if you can keep it or not. Sometime's I get a bar after there, mostly not. This phone and area suck as far as cellular stuff is concerned!

As long as I have had Nextel, I have never been able to go to Mt. Airy as well as ghetto Cheltenham Mall and have service. This is stupid considering all of the vendors within the mall that are Nextel dealers. If you reside in Mt. Airy, don't even think about subscribing to Nextel, period.

It is rare that you would ever get reception in Center City with Nextel, which in my personal opinion is dumb considering that downtown Philadelphia has the highest cellphone usage in the City. Nextel needs to fix this problem... immediately!

Hardly any reception throughout Bessemer and North Beaver until entering Mount Jackson.

For as long as I could remember we have never had any service out here, I would love to be able to use my cell phone at my house. I've tried calling and calling and never get results. Thanks for nothing!

I've had delivery guys call me with their phone from Shickshinny using other services than AT&T. I have the Nokia 2260 non-GSM service and have no reception. Even from the Garden Drive-in, I barely can get a bar of reception. I found AT&T to be good where everyone is good, and pitifully poor and unpredictable elsewhere.

I use a Nextel for work. Bottom line, it sucks. Not only do you have to leave a building to use it, but even then you have to walk around until you get lucky. If you don't believe me, walk around Temple and look for people with Nextel's. They'll be hovering around doorways and windows trying to make calls. I've also heard things about Philly's emergency network conflicting with Nextel's frequency, so beware...

Very poor reception or none in this area. Verizon has good reception. I am unable to use the phone in my home. With the merger of AT&T and Cingular I would hope another tower would be implemented to resolve this problem.

Eaglestream Apts had no reception. No signal there or the whole way up to the kmart and genaurdis and the corner of Ridge Pk and Eaglestream Dr. That whole area sucks.

A friend of mine goes to 'Stoga and when we were both there for SAT's, neither of our phones worked. We both have T-Mobile so it was obvious, it was the service not the phones since practially everyone else's phones worked.
