Cannot get phone service from my house to work in Surry

There is no reception from the top of Bent Mountain in Roanoke County till I get into Christiansburg, Va

I can get absolutely no reception anywhere in all of the stores and the entire parking lot of the Village shopping center! This is a VERY dense area of the city - how can there be no reception???

I absoulutely hate Nextel. I have ZERO reception 95% of the time, and when I do get a few bars, I have to be careful not to move the phone around too much or it will drop my call. Even when I'm in my car I have to hold the phone beside the window with my earpiece in--I might as well NOT use my earpiece. I pay $85 a month for a service I use 25% of the time. They should pay me for having to deal with them! I had Sprint before and had reception everywhere. The only reason why I switched to Nextel was because Customer Service with Sprint was horrible and my fiance had Nextel in Atlanta and said service was great. Now he's been PCS'd to Tampa, FL and has ZERO recepetion. I contacted Nextel several times about this problem and they told me it was my phone. One time before I took it to a service center and they told me it was my phone--not the service. So they gave me a new phone. Well, I contacted Nextel back and told them I was still having issues and they told me it was my phone. After explaining to Tech Support that I rec'vd a new phone, they told me "Those are refurbished phones. They don't give new phones out." She suggested I purchase a new phone. Needless to say, my contract is over with... .I'm doing my research to look into another service provider.

Virgin Mobile is among the worst to get a signal when you're in Patrick County so beware.

No coverage at all during this 1 mile part of Route 9.

Calls go straigt to VM or drop out after you connect.

Absolutely no reception from Kirby road after getting off Chain bridge Rd, reception picks up only when one gets on to Old Dominion Rd. Absolute dead space for about 1.5 miles right in the heart of the beltway

Every call drops when your car turns the corner from Fairfax County Pkwy. to Kingman Road. You can count on it like clockwork. Service returns as you turn into Defense Logistics Agency HQ. I've called Verizon many times and they claim there is coverage in this area.

poor or no reception on wythe st. between st. asaph and washington st.
