Nextel

Nextel has one to two bars in Altamar / Ridge complex. Dropped calls are common inside buildings (never walk around) but calls can be held outdoors.

No coverage at all in Altamar / Ridge complex on AT&T TDMA.

Depending on time of day and weather, reception can vary from none at all to two bars. Baseline is zero. East of power lines that bisect the mountain, baseline is two bars (can generally make and hold calls).

TDMA coverage by ATT was better for me in this area. I had good signal anywhere in my condo. GSM phones drop signal in one bedroom of my condo. I have many more drop spots on GSM then TDMA. I have been on GSM for over a year and I keep seeing the ATT ads touting their signal strength. I hope that it is better here soon other wise I will scream when asked "How many bars do you have" in which I will reply, the same amount as the finger I am holding up right now.

Nextel service sucks everywhere. From SF-SJ along Hwy 280, reception really sucks. Two-way sucks just as much.

Outside house, generally one bar... on street improves to 2-3. Can make calls. Inside house - forget it. Even if I manage to find a 1 bar location, I must use my bluetooth headset as moving the phone any little bit (like putting it to your ear) is guaranteed to lose the signal! Also noticed in general area (SF Bay Area between Mountain View and San Francisco), GSM reception is horrible indoors anywhere. Switching to Cingular network is sometimes better but not noticeably better.

It's ok. I had the same reception with the Nokia 3395.

Call drops once you hit the Westborough exit on 280N, service does not resume until after the Serramonte exit

Daly City is filled with dead zones, especially with GSM phones. I switched to Verizon with hopes to actually eliminate my chances of running into dead zones, and CDMA coverage in the U.S. is far superior than GSM for now. But Daly City seems to be a cell phone dead zone overall.

On Highway 280 South, heading towards the junction in San Bruno to get to 101 South, you almost ALWAYS drop calls. Whether it be GSM, CDMA or TDMA. Daly City area is a terrible digital area.
