WE have NEXTELL and service has been great. In fact just look at most of the Contractors in the area adn they use NEXTELL. Even though Sprint and NEXTELL are now the same companty theys till use different towers and technolgies to provide telephone service. The Sprint Hybyrd telephone that uses sprint for telephone service and nextell for Direct Connect is terrible.
Look at the service maps for Sprint and Nextell..just type in 32162 and switch betwen sprinit and Nextell
Voice devices and you can readily see the difference. 3G and 4G devices appear to have pretty good coverage with either service.
