I recently joined Verizon Wireless and bought a Motorola A930 phone. The phone is quite cute but the reception sucks! My first few calls dropped within 40 seconds and nearly every caller stated they could not here me as I heard them speaking louder and louder. No reception on a main road, inside my car nor within my home. When I called verizon, the first representative was unhelpful and kept saying she was transferring me to retention. The next person could figure out the problem either and recommended another phone. By this time, I was ready to cancel since I had spent nearly 3 hours with different reprs but hadn't spent 20 minutes on all of my incoming and outgoing calls during the week and a half I had the service.

Cell reception has improved slightly over the last few months, but still ranks as unacceptable for my business purposes. Almost always lose a call within 20 minutes anywhere in Macon or Warner Robins city limits. Rural travel in any direction causes my phone to become an expensive paperweight. Completely lose signal on Riverside Dr.when headed north after passing intersection at Bass Road, and can't get it back until arriving in Jackson or Monticello, only to lose it again very rapidly. Same with traveling to Forsyth... lose signal until arriving near city limits. Completely lose signal when heading to Irwinton. No signal on Golden Isles Hwy. until entering McRae, only to lose it again. Traveling to Thomaston... you guessed it, no reception. Good reception when traveling I-75, but you can bet that you will lose a call within 20 minutes almost every time... no exaggeration. Spotty reception on I-20. Good reception on I-85, but expect to lose your call within 20 minutes. Bottom line... usually good for making short successful calls on the interstates; otherwise, crank up the tunes and enjoy the cows. Cheers.

Used to get good recpetion at home now I am lucky to get one bar. Most calls are dropped.

I can only use my phone on the second floor of my house while standing at a window. Sprint has very little reception in Hwy. 41 also.

I cannot make a call from my home. My wife also has a Sprint phone and must be by a window. Most of our friends who have Sprint also cannot use phones regardless of model. I have complained many times. If you read the fine print on the Sprint Contract, it says the phones are intended for outside use only. Not bad if you live in a tent. I have a Verizon phone for work and the folks at work can find me any where at any time; much to my dismay. Only use Sprint if you want to constantly get the feeling like you are trying to call from a third world country. I will never use Sprint again.

Please put a tower out here so we can have a better phone company

Granted, the location specified is a creek bottom, but 3 other Verizon customers had 4 and 5 bar signals while my AT&T had "no service". This is not uncommon at all. Inside metal buildings, such as Walmart or Home Depot, where my wife's Verizon phone has 5 bars, I have 1 or no service. AT&T, you need to hire that guy from the Verizon commercial...

T-Mobile really needs to get a cell tower around I-475, I cannot get a signal at home. Outside of this problem, I love my service and my phone.

Nextel has no service unless you in downtown Gray. They have been promising for years to improve but no new towers in our area for years.(and none on the books coming)

There seems to be a completely dead zone through this area on Northside Drive. Reception is fine before and after the low point in the road by the school and intersection.
