In and around Cooper University Hospital, reception is surprisingly poor and intermittent for being in a metropolitan area (i.e. Camden, NJ)

I've been with Verizon for many years but for the past 2 or 3 years the reception doesn't seem to work as good as before. I go inside the Kim's nail salon on Browning Rd.and Rt. 130 and can't get or make calls and I see other people talking on their phones. The dropped calls are getting worst and the phone gets really hot when on the line for 20 minutes. I got my son a phone to stay in contact with him and it's a waste of money because I rarely get a hold of him, phone doesn't ring or register that he missed a call. I'm so ready to pay the penalty to cancel my contract after 9yrs with Verizon.

3 and 4 bars out of 5. This is my moms celli. Can't wait to give here my old vx6000, I expect it to do better.

4 full bars here in my mom's house. Excellent web browsing as well.

Direct connect is terrible. Goes from 4 bars to zero when standing still and, more often than not, DC signal turns into a garbled mess. We have 10 phones, all i530's, and poor dc signal is common on all.
