Question: Are some phones better than others when it comes to working with a weak signal? I don't do internet, take pictures, do e-mail, text or any other of that cool stuff. We only make and receive voice calls. The only reason I kept our older phones is because they would work well with weak signals where I moved from. Doesn't hold water up here in Michigan. Any recommendations?? thanks

Reception in Harrietta Michigan is poor at best. many residents have to get in their vehicles and drive to pick up a signal. Sometimes we can get a weak signal outdoors. The terrain is hilly which I concede, but selling a service at full price that does not work well just shy of shady business. ATT has micro cell devices that could help phone use at home. It should "give" them to users who have DSL, which is available in Harrietta. I spoke with ATT and they will sell it to me for $200 and I have to upgrade my older phones that work just fine, and possibly enter into another minute agreement with them. 100% unacceptable in 2011. This is no longer the stone ages and people should be connected as much as they individually desire. I'm forced to have a land line in additional to the cell phones so I can make / receive calls from my home. What if a fire or medical emergency? All providers use the same few towers, so none can provide decent service. Shame, shame on you guys. So much for universal service that I pay for as a fee on my cellular bill each month. Check yours. You're paying for it also.
