I can not get any type of reception, maybe a bar if that in the house. It is crazy, I have to go on the deck or stand right next to the window, or even go out the front door to get a reception.

I travel this area frequently to and from home to avaoid the highway and can guarantee you that if I am on the phone, the call drops for at least five minutes and I am totally clear of the area. I hate Nextel, but feel bound because of the free incoming calls.

When you are out side you have great reception, but dont even think about going in your house. You would be better with a land line phone.

Poor to no reception in house.

Bars don't count in this area. Sitting in one spot, I'll get a read of 1-2-3 bars in 10 seconds, and calls get dropped (too many times to count) anyway.

I rate the reception average because it varies between 5 bars and 0 bars while I'm standing still. Whether in my office (which has big windows) or driving, a call can be dropped at any time. I miss calls all the time because the phone doesn't ring and a minute later it chimes that someone left me a voice mail message. The treo chimes when it switches between digital and analog and sometimes it does it so much I turn the sound off and miss calls that way. Its not the phone, because I have 5 phones on my account and 3 different models and they all do this. I've been a Sprint customer for a long time and the reception used to be much better. The problems began about 1-2 years ago. If I didn't have 5 phones and a long contract I would change carriers, but I'm hoping they work our their network problems.

Since going back to Verizon, I've had nothing but good reception. With T-Mobile and Cingular, reception and signal strength was not good. I could only get a few bars with my T-Mobile in certain rooms in the house, my home is made of brick. My Verizon service lets me talk anywhere in the house now including the basement where I could never pickup any signals.

So far so good. No dropped calls. Recently switched from Nextel and I'm a much happier camper.

Signal strength is good outside of house, usually 4 bars. Inside of house is 3 bars depending on what room you're in. I received an "Echo" effect during one call in the building that I work in, otherwise; this phone works very good.

Drop in service pretty regularly. Sometimes it just goes haywire and spends the day switching from analog to digital.
