| walt526's Full Review: Nextel Mobile Phone Service in Sacramento |
I have been a customer for nearly two years and recently upgraded my service plan and phone with a 2 year contract (from an i90c to a i730). Any premium that you pay over lower cost service providers is well worth it in my opinion.
I have used the phone mostly in Davis and West Sacramento, where the coverage is generally excellent. Reception in and around the city of Sacramento and the airport is good. I have only experienced a handful of dropped calls in nearly two years (most during thunderstorms). I have recently started commuting to Novato via I-80 to Hwy 37. I often lose reception around 5 miles west of Vallejo until around halfway through the part of Hwy 37 that is one-lane going through the Delta, although my understanding is that dropped calls are typical of all carriers in that area. All-in-all, Nextel's reception cannot be beat in the Sacramento and the North Bay areas (I had Verizon for two years before Nextel).
