Nextel is the worst, it will not work outside of a mile on either side of I-5, i live right next to I-5, i could throw a rock and hit the center lane, and i have to stand in one spot in my house, by the backslider and turn to the south. and freeze, it will get a weak signal, also they really suck inside of buildings, you can stand next to someone and they won't get your call, mainly cause its a repeater signal, out to a dish and back to the person your calling. don't waste your time or money, maybe in a few years they'll figure out a solution. i have att now but am thinking of going to verizon, if i can get a better deal,
