Have always had spotty coverage in our house. Verizon has been as good as AT&T was. My old LG4400 and my new LG8300 don't do well. One stick at best and dropped calls and moving my body and head until connected, then freezing my position. It's a bit silly, but you do what you must. But my wife's LG5200 does better and can usually get calls OK, anywhere in the house. All phones are not created equal.

Calls are constantly cut off. Sometimes I just need to repeat myself a few times.

We mostly use our cell phones in Santa Monica and Culver City. We are unable to use our mobile to mobile unlimited calling because we don't have reception so we have to call the house phone and use up our shared minutes. Verizon used to be fantasitic all over but they have changed. Our contract is almost up (YAY!) but now have no clue who to switch too. We had bad reception with Cingular but heard things are better with them now. Been hearing good and bad on all three (Verizon, Cingular, Tmobile). Tricky, Tricky!

No reception at all inside 80% of my office building. I usually have to borrow some one's office with a window to make a call. Reception in my cube (which is only ten feet and an office door from a window) randomly drops from two bars to none.

We moved seven blocks, from Ashland and Third (near Main) to Ocean Park Blvd. just east of Lincoln -- and our Sprint service died, almost completely. Of course, it was never pristine, not like the Nextel service we switched out of at Sprint's suggestion after it bought Nextel. Spring was cheaper. We bought in. Now we're cancelling our Sprint service mid-term (Sprint admits it can't service us) and getting another carrier, pronto.

Sprint PCS sucks. I have called to complain multiple times, usually they drop the call when i'm complaining! they told me if you do not get reception in your house,they cannot charge you for breaking the contract. I will switch to a GSM network as soon as the phone I want is released! Sprint has no service on the west side of l.a.

Verizon sells itself on reliability of reception, as shown in its tv and billboards ads. Unfortunately this is a false sales campaign. Phone calls can rarely be completed from our home, calls are often dropped. The same can be said for quite a few other areas in Santa Monica. Verizon should be truthful in its advertising, in many cases, its reliability sucks. Why do we stick with Verizon?..mainly because other family members and friends have it and because our land line and DSL is with them. We are stuck with them.

0 or 1 bar in my 2nd floor apt. Tons of dropped calls. Sucks.

My reception in Santa Monica from Montana north to San Vicente is very very poor to none.

Okay on the street, but horrible inside my house. Lots of dropped calls and poor reception. I don't know if it's my phone or the service.
