Most any time day or night I only get 2 or a week 3rd bar. Long delays when dialing out. What I find most irritating is that I can't access SIRI during daylight hours, so this kills my dictation feature too. Many apps say "Can't connect to server". I have difficulty calling out, inbound is only slightly better. Speed test shows about 550kbps, which is WAY slower than the network speed claims. Check out Gizmodo speed tests to get an idea how fast your 4g service is.

In the home -- downstairs, it's really a crapshoot whether one gets reception, usually not. Upstairs I incur static, that's if I can even connect. 2-year contract is over so ready to switch over but finding user reviews of Verizon and ATT cell phones that report serious problems such as poor reception (I already have it), phone freezing up, short battery life, etc.

Usually no reception to maybe one bar in the Sears store of new park mall and most of mall.

In my room I get poor reception, maybe like 3 bars max.
