I live in the Phila suburbs and almost everywhere I travel, I get a decent
enough signal, at least for the 2-way. But in my apartment, my calls are
always dropping out. I called Nextel, a tech called me back and said he
checked the map and where I live (Jenkintown, PA), Nextel has service for
outdoors and "in-car" but not "in-building!" Sure I can go outside and get
a fair to good signal, but what good is that at home? Other people that come
over with T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, etc., all have good signals in my
apartment. And the guy from Nextel said they have no plans to improve the
signal where I live. Guess I'm stuck with the contract now but when it
expires, no more nextel unless something happens to make it better.
