We just bought our house and have been able to use our cell phones 3 times (must have been luck) to make calls. We can text message though. We recently found out that the problem could be we have digital only phones and our area is analog only. So, we are buying a used triband phone on ebay to see if that helps any. Otherwise, we are saying goodbye to Verizon when our contract is up.

Useless! Can anyone recommend a service that works in Western Kentucky?

I received one call when I was on top of a hill right in the center of Cadiz. Otherwise I have had no reception from Verizon in the three months I have been in this area.

Verizon worked fairly well for 3 years. Then we lost any signal, they said we were in a no service area. Cingular seemed to work for neighbors, we borrowed a phone and were able to get a signal throughout the house. Therefor we switched to Cingular (with a lot of grief because we wanted to keep our out of state numbers since the phones are used for business). This was shortly after AT&T bought Cingular. Everything was great for a couple of weeks, then we started getting NO SERVICE on the phones. Our neighbors with AT&T lost service also. Finally someone was told that they had boosted their signal at the tower and the FCC made them reduce it again. I was told we live in a no service area and should have been told that before I switched. Guess I will go back to Verizon once the contract is up. Mean time I bought a Z Boost Wireless Extender and mounted the antenna outside on the roof. It worked great for 2 weeks and then died. Now I am back to no service.

there is no reception from either place. Verizon has a tower there, but I have Cingular service
