Phone never rings - then a voice mail appears... poor reception and nearly impossible to carry on a 5 minute converstaion in a moving vehicle reliably, just about anywhere in the state. "Way to run up my minutes, Nextel", with all of the dropped / redialed calls. I live 1 / 4 mile from I-91 and the phone is essentially still an experiment in cell phoning. Oh, it's a company phone, or I would have canned them long ago.

Increased coverage over the past quarter by 1 bar but still contiue to have intermittent coverage in Westlake area, in some cases no service.

I travel all over the state for my work and I've found that Verizon has the best reception overall, but it is maddening that I get very poor to non-existant coverage in my own neighborhood! When I get to within a block of my house, the signal cuts out - and this has happened consistently with multiple phones.
