I get big green bars of great reception right in my apartment! I'm in sales and have to make a lot of calls from my place, so I've been suprisingly happy with Nextel's service over this last whole year. I've had Nextel for 5 years now and can say they have definitely improved every year. Only one phone I had from them was a major problem 2 years ago, but when I got the i870 everything turned up roses. I even get good reception on my trips to the east coast! There are only a few spots in LA I've found that don't get reception with Nxtl. If you live in this area and have bad reception; try a test-run with Nxtl- I think they let you try out the phone for a few days before you agree to a contract.

I get full service at my house, but with the Cingular network, I am getting a lot of dropped calls (not sure if it is the network or phone itself).

I get great reception in and around Torrance. I was never able to get reception at home with Sprint. My daughter has Cingular and reception is so-so.

OMG! this ercpetion is freakin bomg I would cooose T-Mobile they have good prices and r the best

Reception in most of the South Bay is very good. Signal drops off along Artesia from Aviation to Hawthorne. May have been the phone though, I've had a SE W600 for a few days now and the signal seemed stronger on that same drive.

Strong reception. I switched and left the horrible GSM services of Cingular / AT&T... I couldn't stand the numerous dropped calls and it annoys me that my friends who are still on the GSM network are always getting cut off when I'm talking to them from my Sprint service. Generally in South Bay area, I have no issues with Sprint's reception except in portions of Hermosa Beach.

Verizon's service in the South Bay is excellent. Just aobut the only time I have a hard time getting service is certain parts of Hermosa as well as downtown El Segundo. I have lived in 3 different places in the South Bay in the past 7 years and have had NO problems with reception at any of those homes. I love Verizon's service... ... .just wish they had more exciting phones!

For those of you who leave on Plaza Del Amo, I would switch to Verizon, its the only network that works in our complex. I've had Cingular and ATT and they both have no signal...

My wife, my daughter, and myself all use AT&T service and have had very few poor connections. Usually when we did experience a poor connection, it was becuase we were inside of a building however, most of the time we don't have any connection problems in buildings. My wife and I both use the LG G4020 and our duaghter uses a Nokia (sorry, don't recall the model but it was whatever free one was being offered when we added an extra line for her).

Most of the time conversation is very choppy and gets dropped. Sometimes I can't even get a conversation out because neither me nor the person on the other end can understand a word. Even though I have a decent number of bars, reception is not very reliable. Rarely do I have a full phone call without it being choppy.
