Great Reception in most areas, including mountains. Motorola has the best phone reception and can pull out poor cell tower reception better than any I have used. Of course Motorola is one of the leaders in industrial walkies-talkies used around the world. My issue is with cell towers and the reduced coverage certain carriers offer. Different carriers have different reception in the same cell tower area, why? This is not just a concern for us that reside in rural America but my children living in downtown Chicago have issues with reception as well. I want to change phones but stay with Motorola branded phones for the better reception.

We're constantly getting dropped calls. We're close to the hospital and very close to a tower... but it seems like we get tons of fading out (lots of, "What?!" conversations, and get a dropped call at least every day. I'm looking for a different provider!

Alltel is best for this area. I ride motorcycles and get good reception throughout the area.

I have tried several companies and travel in over 25 states with this phone. Verizon is by far the best service for the money while Suncom is no doubt the very worst.

I have tried Cingular, SunCom, Sprint, and Verizon. Alltel is the only one that works in this area.

usually have 3~4 bars but have way too many dropped calls.

Very poor reception inside my home

Out here on the main highway, you get pretty nice reception, but then if you turn on some little back rd. you're screwed. I've been with Cingular for about a year and a half and its like you're confined to one major town at a time and nothing in between. I personally want something for the "in between" though.

I have great service and have never dropped a call

Only one or two stationary spots give weak service with lots of dropped calls.
