Nextel = Poor reception on the water in the Bay. Stick with Verizon. Don't make the same mistake I did.

I have Nextel
The reception is so/so
But the amount I use the 2way, makes up for it!!!

Thanks for the info. I was mainly interested in switching for the 2-way function. Does that work so so as well on the water?

Sgt -

Up our way in central Mass, lots of my buddies had Nextel but god sick of the poor reception and switched plans. If it rains or is foggy the reception stinks. I didn't have those problems up here with Verizon. We have complained but time will only tell.

As far as on the water I have no idea. My buddies have switched plans so I don't know how the walkie talkie function works.

Stick with Verizon. Nextel's two year commitment or $175 early termination fees really bite.
