Upgraded from 2G Razor to Pantech 3G and there is no reception or if you wander outside you get 1 small bar... ..I thought 2G to 3G was suppose to be an upgrade NOT retro. The 2G Razor had 5 bars in the same location? WTH?

Verizon knows how bad their service is on Alameda. They said "it is a known trouble spot" so they offered to give me a $250 network extender or let me out of my contract without the early termination fee.

Having been a customer since Cellular One days, I've had pretty good reception with every cell phone with the exception of my new Apple iPhone 3G on ATT's network. A simple 3-4 minute call may require 2 call backs due to a dropped signal. This happens even talking on the phone from the second floor window with 2-3 bars. I'm going to report the poor reception to ATT.

Cell phone is very spotty in the house. Usually I can only get reception near the windows or on the second floor, and even then it is still poor as people complain that I am garbled.

Verizon reception has been fairly good for the last 6-years but over the last 3-days I've had little to no signal strength. Brought my phone to Verizon and it is okay. Wondering if there is a cell tower problem in the area.

Virtually no reception in house - none downstairs at all, and upstairs has gotten much worse. T-Mobile has great rates and spectacular customer service - and no roaming for me. BUT, at home and at work (near the beach / mall), I can't hardly make any calls. Text only. Text works great. Dash has bad volume features by the way. Also - carefulfor power surges - my battery got too hot and now only stays charged for about an hour. My boss talks on his phone all day - I plan to find out what HE has!

For my cell phone to work, I have to step outside of my house to receive and make calls. If I am inside of my house, my reception real bad.

Never a good signal on Harbor Bay. Frequent drops and constant "gerbling."

Drops calls regularly. Previously had Motorola V3xx. Other family phones (Motorola KRAZR) work fine with 5 bars. Go figure?
