Phone (Motorola V220) does not do well inside buildings. Drops calls in well populated areas of northern KY and Cincy.

I've used Virgin Mobile phones (this is my second one) for 5 or 6 years now. I've been many many places in Kentucky (cities and rural); Ohio; New York and have not had any problems whatsoever. It's been great. I can count twice that a call was disconnected when an airplane took off! (and I was in my car), but that's it.

5 Bars, but calls keep breaking up, Sometimes even disconnect. Cingular say its the phone thats at fault. I Doubt that. (former Shortwave radio operator).

Noticed a boost in my reception when I switched from a Motorola V220 to a Motorola V600. V220 would drop calls left and right. V600 has really not shown less than 3 bars at any given time. Anywhere between 3 and 5, in fact! :)

Average reception most of the time. I tend to lose the reception in the weirdest place (like along major roads,etc). I had Verizon before and never had these issues. Better believe I will be switching back at the end of my contract, no matter how much higher the rates will be!
