:I know their coverage is pitiful in New York as I can NEVER reach my friend who lives in the area. Every single time I call him it's the same old "ring three times and go to voicemail" routine while he never gets a single ring on his end. That or the "please hold while the Nextel subscriber you are trying to reach is located" -- which, of course, their system is NEVER able to do.
To sum it all up, my friend is absolutely disgusted with them and has been looking forward to Nov. 2nd when his contract is set to expire with great anticipation. He's been talking about switching to Verizon which apparently many of his friends (including myself) have and which has much better coverage than Nextel in pretty much any part of the country.
Yes, Yes, Verizon is where it is at! Cingular Claims to be the best, but surely not here in Tennessee, Dropped calls All Around! Verizon Works Wherever I go, and works Great when I travel too! I agree NexTel Sux!!
