I am sick and tired of paying Verizon for no cell at home My husband has an OLD... .. LG Phone with great reception... I even tried getting a refurbished one of his model... . no good... ! Didn't work either what does one have to do to get service from Verizon or some help... ... ... ... it's been years, and I am getting sick and tired of this! I don't want to pay extra for a booster, when I'm paying for an inoperable phone from home! Disgusted and at my wits end... ... ... ... ... ..Important messages have been foregone due to poor reception Verizon, step up to the plate and DO SOMETHING

Verizon: I have tried a good number of cell phones from Verizon... .. to no avail, this is the very first time I am having such a terrible time with reception at my house in Altadena, Cal. The strangest thing is: my husband has an OLDER phone from Verizon LG, I thinks it's a 5500 but nothing fancy... just a utility phone... Now why does that phone get great reception in our house, in Altadena just all over???? The new phones I tried have all failed... ... I am using my old Samsung which gives me a reading of good reception however people on the other end say I Can't hear ! Recently I returned a phone that was offered free except for taxes, it was considered an early upgrade... since returning it, I assume I still have that opportunity for a free upgrade. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thank you B.Matsumoto

Just purchased Droid Incredible. Reception most everywhere is good, except no cell signal at my home. I pay for cell service to include my home, but am not receiving the service. I will call Verizon and see what they can suggest. I do not feel that I should have to pay extra (i.e booster) for service that I am already paying for.

Verizon is the only carrier that consistently carries in northwest Altadena. My hubby has AT&T because he has an IPhone I refused to get the Iphone because I dislike the coverage. My Droid (which I love) gets reception, though there are times when coverage drops in parts of the house. But it is the only carrier that consistently can pick up a signal in most of Altadena. That being said, there are dead zones along Altadena Drive, especially west of Lake.

Lucky to go 5 or ten seconds before call drops. The Phone almost never picks up incoming calls. Useless - North of Altadena Drive. Just bought Verizon Network Extender - for a trial run. Will check back with an update.

we have 4 phones within our family. Its hit or miss when we can receive or send calls. It really sucks, but it may be the best we can do anyway

Very good reception from Verizon here in Altadena, CA, which is the main reason I will not buy an Iphone GS. I will wait until Verizon offers one (or a Palm Pre), however long that may be. If you can't get reception, what good is having a cool phone?

I can call inside my house where it use to be a dead spot with AT&T. Go Verizon!

Verizon gets between 2 to 4 bars in my house, fine for making and receiving calls, and we live with hills surrounding our house. Their online and phone technical support is good. My kids have even called and been treated well by the technical staff. I also used to have a no frills free Verizon phone and that got good reception around Pasadena and up in the Sierras. My Verizon might drop out on parts of Altadena Dr.west of Lake along Eaton Canyon, but only briefly.

I get reception but will lose signal periodically.. much better than cingular, where I got no reception at all.

Verizon has awesome reception in Altadena and Pasadena as a whole. My friends with Cingular can barely make and receive calls in Altadena east of Lake.

cuts out once per 30 min conversation... better than Cingular hands down in this canyon area.

good reception all round outside / inside houise it varies from 5 to 3 bars, usually quite good
