Calls dropped intermittently - not sure if it is the new building that blocked it..

People ask how many bars do you have? I have a dot. Reception inside is frustrating, outside is iffy.

We just moved to the area from NY, and since moving here, we've experienced more dropped calls than we have in the last 5 years. The Verizon rep tells me it's because of the storms, but we had plenty of storms in NY with no interference. We're looking for a new service, though it seems from the reviews that it's not a great area out here.

Averaging 3-4 drops per call. My Verizon Wireless card has the same problem. I have a huge window so I'm not sure what the problem is and Verizon has not responded to my email.

This is a bad area for cell phone use... While there are "5 bars" on the display, I get dropped calls all the time. Sometimes I will try and try for 20 minutes to make a call from my home upstairs, then go downstairs and have no problems at all. I use AT&T because its cheap. Also, I would NOT recommend the Samsung SGH-A707, IMO it is a crappy product. Thanks

I was looking at others' reviews, but this area is a cell phone blackhole, dropping calls and barely resting at one bar at best. I have been in contact with T Mobile, who seem to be under the impression that there is "acceptable" reception in spite of the facts.

No service at all in my apartment building. There are 5 floors and I live on the third. I have dropped calls constantly and call quality / reception is below poor. Think twice about Verizon. I think people go with them because of name recognition but the service truly is lousy.

Great coverage indoors too - no problems at all. Unfortunately I just cancelled insurance coverage on my Sprint phone and lost it - so now must deal with possibly switching carriers - as I prefer a prepaid plan.
