1 sometimes 2 bars of 4g outside of my house. Hardly any bars inside. Bought a cell booster and came here looking to find the nearest tower. Verizon hates my area, no FiOS and going east or west a few miles gives great 4g service! :(

I dont have no problems with reception here. I get all my text messages fast and no dropped calls. Never had issues with the service. Phones yes but not the service.

Verizon is AWESOME! Thanks Verizon! You are a life saver! Life with Verizon is sooooo much easier! I've been so angry with this coverage war between service providers who promise you great coverage, but you end up with nothing but dropped calls and no service. Ever since I left Sprint, then ATT, then Cingular I finally decided to join a quality network--Verizon. Yes, it did cost a few extra buck at the time, but IT'S COMPLETELY WORTH IT! When I had ATT and Cingular, everywhere I traveled in LA County was TERRIBLE! Just go with Verizon and spare yourself the hassle and stress. Signed, Extremely HAPPY Verizon Customer!

The phone is usually looking for service which drains the battery. I charge it overnight unplug it in the morning and by the end of the day the phone is almost dead from searching for service. I am lucky if a call comes through.

The reception here is a real challenge as we are up in the hills, but so far Verizon is the best. We tried Sprint and ATT and they both dropped calls, sometimes the phone does not even ring.

All cell phones especially Cingular struggle in this area but Verizon sucks less.

Verizon has a dead spot on the top of Colima Road, between Mar Vista and Hacienda. There is another on the top of Idaho between Imperial Hwy. and Bastanchury Rd. Other that those two spots, service is fine in the area. Hilly areas seem to challenge any carrier's service. In this same area Cingular and Sprint have 0-1 bar but calls rarely go through or drop frequently.

Fewer dropped calls. Previous carriers like Cingular, Sprint, and T-Mobile have no reception out here. Verizon is the only carrier that has the reception to give you a phone conversation for more than 5 seconds.

My Nokia 6015i gets 3-4 bars, some parts of house 5. Sometimes had to drive a block to 1 mile from home to get a signal. I live between 3 cell cites, all less than 1 1/2 miles from me. 2 are line of sight. Verizon sent a truck out to check the area for signal reception. They said they would put in another tower. They couldn't explain loss of signal. Other Verizon phones, another T730 and LG VX4400, may get up to 2 bars. Verizon gave me a $50 credit so I got the 6015i for my inconvenience.

Reception is good throughout all Los Angeles County! But Orange County varies
