Friends don't let friends use Nextel. We lived in 7 different places in widely varying parts of Puna and Hilo and our Nextel phone worked at NONE of them.
We are using a pay-as-you-go plan now and get fair reception everywhere there is service available because the plan has agreements with all the cell providers to hitchhike on their towers. If you don't make tons of calls it is the most affordable option and you aren't locked into a long term contract. Often people have trouble with reception inside metal roofed buildings, no matter who your provider is.
