Rarely am able to complete a call without being dropped. I usually have to go outside to get decent reception. The reception has always been poor. Sprint might have been a better choice for my area.

Horrible reception. O-1 bars ever since we moved here.

I have had Verizon for a few months and had perfect reception the whole time. It has just been since the holidays that it all went to crap! I seem to still have decent coverage when out in town, but at home I have to send a txt 4-5 times for it to maybe send, and most of my calls get dropped. I didn't have a land line installed when I moved in cause the coverage was so great, but now that my husband is deployed and I am living alone and 9 months pregnant, and I really need my phone to work... it doesn't. What's more is that my husband left me a General POA so that I could take care of things. Since he has left, they have screwed up and overcharged me, then I found out they hadn't been giving him his military discount when I KNOW that we were told it was going into effect in October when we asked for it... more overcharging, all on top of the fact that my coverage is shot. They will not accept my POA or deployment orders with sailors and soldiers act, nor will they make changes to the account or fix the discount situation. When I called about my coverage tonight they asked to speak to my husband and said that they could only troubleshoot my phone with him. It was only after I threatened to bring my problem to the attention of his command so that Verizon could be known for the kind of customer service they offered that she finally tried to fix it! Made me even angrier! So if I call in with a problem I have to threaten and bribe you to help me???? Ridiculous! Sprint is cheaper anyway! Consider another carrier.

0-1 Bars, dropped calls. And I just got this phone because I thought it was a problem with my old phone. Coverage is crummy. Where are my 'people'? False Advertising, I'd say. What's the point of a mobile phone if you service is lousy to non-existant? Phone is going back to Verizon today.

I have renewed Verizon 2 yr contracts 3 times. However, it used to be that our cell phones worked well at our home near Mira Costa College. Rancho Del Oro / Cameo Dr / Vista Way / Oceanside Bl... but for the last 4-5 months the phones simply do not perform well here at home. 0-1 bar, I complained and they tried to tell me it was the phones we had LG VX 6100. I said that makes no sence because both wife and mine stopped working well at exactly the same time. Now, on our 3rd 2 yr agrmt, they gave us LF VX8300 which are purportedly great phones, and the same low level 0-1 bars at the house. It is obvious they have oversold the area. I want to know if Cingular works well cause you can get a smoking deal with jumbled service from AT+T with unlimited Long Distance on regular home phone, faster DSL, and cell with free Razor for great price.

On my 15 minute roundabout morning commute along the unconnected portion of Cannon Rd in Shadowridge to the Cannon Rd and I-5 onramp I go from 4 bars to none half a dozen times. Approximately half the distance is a dead zone with the poorest reception at Cannon Rd and El Camino Real intersection. I get one to no bars at work (right near the power plant) and have to step outside the building to ensure not getting dropped.

If you are looking for a phone DO NOT GET VERIZON! The reception is very poor if there is any at all. They also add hidden fees. I am very unsatified with this service and had to pay $175 to cancel it.

Very poor reception, can't even use phone in my own home. Can't hear me now?
