After having Alltel for almost 6 years, we had to switch when Verizon purchased Alltell. While with Alltel, the signal strength got better each year to where I finally was getting 3-4 bars consistently. Now, it is like I am starting all over again with Verizon. Most times I get 1-3 bars on my phone, but with inconsistent regularity. Some days I am lucky to get a 4th bar, usually in the AM or very late at night. There are times when there are NO bars! Each time I call support, I am told that there is nothing wrong anf that I may need to upgrade my phone. Not something I want to do - extremely happy with the one I have. If I go to Onaway Area Schools property you get 5 bars. If I go to the outer areas of town, you guessed it, 5 bars. Other areas in town are hit and miss - with some at 0 bars, others at 5 bars. I can't figure it out, and neither can Verizon. But, when I connect to my laptop (tether) I get 4-5 bars more regularly.
