Worse than poor --- can answer phone but the reception is so off and on that it might be better not to have reception at all. Verizon needs to do better than this!

Absolutely awful reception. Am in the process of canning this phone and will drop Verizon altogether if a replacement phone has the same problem. Don't see how Verizon can insist on a contract when it's unable to fulfill its end of the bargain.

Just spent a week househunting primarily in PV, also with shorter runs to Prescott and one to Chino, and always had decent reception. Our phones are 3 years old, not that great, but no dropped or missed calls for us.

Talking Rock Ranch / Williamson Valley Rd., Prescott, AZ 86305 |
Mon Apr 12, 2010 |
Spent several days in and around Talking Rock Ranch residential community. No reception at all. (Phone display said "Emergency Service Only" - but I could not get a dial tone.) Reception kicked in when I headed for Chino Valley (made a call from the Safeway Parking lot), or when headed several miles further south on Williamson Valley Rd toward downtown Prescott.

Verizon has good service throughout the tri-city area with some exceptions - Prescott Racquet Club area - as previously noted. Also weak signal in Groom Creek area which is about to CHANGE BIG TIME! Verizon is adding a cell site on Spruce Mountain. This should boost their coverage in a huge way as Spruce is 7,800 ft. elevation and looks over the Prescott area from Groom Creek to Prescott Valley.

Lots of dropped calls. I switched to a RIM 7100, and it is even worse. Many places in north side of Prescott where there is minimal coverage. Numerous calls to Cingular (AT&T) have failed to resolve the situation.

I get all bars for reception... no dropped calls. Phone is 4 yrs old. I've had Verizon with little or no reception... also, Qwest which is not much better than Verizon. Sprint store in Prescott let's you borrow phone before you sign up to see if reception is good in your area.

WHITE SPAR / COPPER BASIN, Prescott, AZ 86303 |
Wed Apr 26, 2006 |
This phone is marginal at best on White Spar Road, south of Copper Basin all the way to the outskirts of Phoenix via highway 89 / route 60, the reception is extremely poor to non-existant. In town in Prescott, Prescott Valley,Williamson Valley and Chino Valley the coverage is fair to midland. On the way to Phoenix coverage is virtually non-existant from Cordes Junction all the way to Black Canyon City via I-17.

T-Mobile has good service in the town of Prescott; but just as soon as you turn off Iron Springs onto Williamson Valley Road, forget it.

Virtually no reception at home. If I find the exact right spot I can get a call out, but any movement, even an inch, may cut me off. Good signal outside of WalMart. Spotty signal at the Gateway mall.

Verizon has generally good reception in Prescott, Prescott Valley, and Chino Valley. I previously had Sprint and switched to Verizon because of poor reception. Now if Verizon would just get some decent phones - they're years behind other carriers in supporting new models.
