This phone needs to be outdoors for reliable reception. Signal strength can be as high as 3 bars in the open. But indoors it drops to 1 bar or ZERO! You need to mount the phone on a table and jack in an earphone. Your mobility is reduced but you can avoid dropouts. My Blackberry has a cool stand that allows you to keep the phone stationary.

Almost perfect on base. In some areas of the PACAF building you will lose your signal but I haven't found a carrier that can deliver in all areas of this huge multi-walled building. Many time you will get a message alert even if you don't get the call in the building which doesn't happen with some other carriers. This way at least you know you have missed something. Otherwise Oahu coverage is great as is coverage while traveling on the Mainland.

OK out in the open but if you are in many of the buildings you will lose your signal.

I have lived in this area for a long time and rarely have problems. I talk on the phone and drive quite a bit and there is only one dead spot that I know of at the end of Wanaka Dr. Good service.

Just when you drive under the Papakolea Bridge, the cell signal cuts out.

I have had Verizon Wireless for 5 years. They are FANTASTIC. Great, customer service, and GREAT coverage too. I take that back. Not just GREAT coverage but AWESOME coverage. No exaggeration... I am able to get coverage in various parking garages around downtown Honolulu - Melim Tower, Harbor Court - in their elevators too! - and I even get coverage in their fire exits too. Overall, I've been very happy with Verizon (equpiment, coverage, etc.) for the entire 5 years I've been with them.

reception is really bad. I can't waiting to change other ocmpany.

The stretch of road from the lighthouse to the lookouts, you'll have no service.

Right in the intersection you'll lose service and drop your calls most of the time.

Ranges from full to 1 bar depending where you place phone inside the house. Hardly ever drop calls or lose service.
