Nextel
Tons of dropped calls lately. Word from my rep is that Nextel gave up antennae sites and now overload of calls in coverage areas are dropping calls. Good news is you still get charged the minutes for redialing!

Dead spot from Oceanic Institute to golf course by Sandy Beach. Also, dead spot on H1 East near Waialae offramp and three dead spots on the Pali.

While driving up Makakilo Drive, the call drops near the park. Getting even a single bar is impossible in upper Makakilo. There are pockets in Kapolei that I cannot recieve a signal. People call and my phone will not even ring! Waikele is also one area that I have found difficulty recieving a signal.

No problems for the most part. Sometimes calls get a bit static, but one for the most part. Internet on my phone is faster then road runner at times even!

Reception is highly variable. Moving several feet can alter reception / transmission. It is rumored that Cingular will add a tower in the vicinity to improve service.

I have to say, Verizon has been terrible, not just in Hawaii but elsewhere on the mainland as well. In Hawaii it is rare that I have over 2 bars and even when I have 4, the person on the other end of the line reports that my voice drops out a lot. While I was originally happy with Verizon customer service (*611) the service I have gotten from the retail stores in Hawaii has been TERRIBLE! Recently, my satisfaction with the *611 support has also dropped! When I first signed up with Verizon, service was decent. Not great, but acceptible. In the past 6 months the quality of service has decreased to be point that my wife and I have to go outside of our apartment to make a call and that doesn't even always work. About 45% of our calls are dropped. I called Verizon support and was told by a representative that they woudl do everything they could to improve service and that, if they were not able to make improvements, I would be released from my serive contract. GREAT! What could be better. It appears I rejoiced too soon. Technicians were sent out to check the signal strength and reported... everything is fine. Funny, I still can't make a call! While the original service rep gave me his direct dial number, I have left 6 messages over the past 3 weeks and have gotten no replies. I have talked to 4 other reps who have given me the standard story that THEY don't have the power to release me from the contract, but that they will talk to their supervisors and get back to me. None have. All in all, I would recommend Hawaii users to avoid Verizon wireless.

This seems to be the blind spot for all carriers. I had AT&T before Nextel, and it seems that both carriers lost reception in the same area. I think it's just a blind spot probably for all carriers.

Sketchy reception in Maunawili valley, drops the call about 50% of the time. Have to decipher what was said during the time before call is dropped as about half the conversation gets through. T-Mobile doesn't work in Lanikai and drops calls in Nuuanu and Makiki and near the resevoir on the Pali and at the hairpin, as well as near Makapuu and out around Kahuku. I'm not happy with the coverage at all and am looking for a more reliable service provider.

Great reception - receiving 5 bars, e-mial and browser work as good as in any majot city on Cingular. Verizon service had been spotty to mostly non-existant so I switched and am extremely pleased!
