ranges from 2 bars to O bars. worst phone I have ever had.

Great Service because their aren't any apartments around, apartments cloud the service reception because they are more than one story.

The reception is so bad in this area. I usually hae to use somebodys phone instead of mine. And it's really terrible in Publix / Winn-Dixie. I only have 5 bars for a minute in Bloomingdale. Yhen there's only 1 bar. That's the thing about Sprint: the reception changes all the time!

I left an earlier post about poor Verizon reception in the Kingsway / Hwy 60 area (actually about 1 mile N.W. of there). My neighbor has T-Mobile, so I asked him if I could borrow his phone to perform a signal strength comparison between my Verizon Motorola V60s and his T-Mobile Motorola V330. I drove all over covering most of Seffner, parts of Brandon and Valrico. The T-Mobile signal strength averaged 1-2 bars better almost everywhere I went, sometimes 3. I recorded my results and compared them with T-Mobiles "Street Level Coverage Map". The results were consistent with their map, but I never saw less than 2 bars on the T-Mobile phone when the Verizon phone showed 1 bar several times. Needless to say, I switching to T-Mobile.

I was told by Verizon that there is a tower less than a mile from my house, but I get 1 bar inside AND outside my house and calls get dropped 90% of the time. I'm new to Verizon, and so far, not so good.

Great reception. I'm going on the family plan with the GSM Motorola V505. I hope the reception is as good in this area.
