3G signal so poor phones, two of them, roam and run batteries dead! VZW said I need a Network Extender, but want $250 and I must use my own DSL @ 1G+ or it won't work.

can text really well, but calls drop really quick in my house and sometimes dont even receive a call.. outside works great of course

Connection may start at 5 bars but it goes down to none and drops the call most of the time.

Most calls received or sent are dropped or I have to go out my front door to continue the conversation. I was told that our HOA will not allow more cell towers to be erected, but I know that some people are able to get better reception. Before moving to this area about a year ago, I got great reception while living north of Seattle using the same phone.

I am rarely able to complete a call unless I go outside and face west. I am not able to receive some calls until minutes or hours after they are sent to me. Most of the time I get only two bars until I leave my home and community.

Fine reception for nearly 2 years. Now ZERO bars and ZERO 3G for most of the day. And I work at home! I need my phone!

We live in Tuscany. Everyone we have talked to about Verizon comments about the dropped calls and poor reception. Very frustrating and we feel that Verizon does not really care. We have called and customer service relates that they know they have a problem and are looking into into making the service more realiable. It is now two years having the same issue. Our contract is coming up so we will have to look at other carriers. Two of our friends have Sprint phones and have no problem in our area.

I have 7 out of every 10 call dropped. It is a hastle to try to call the bank or any other place that you need to be on line for some time. I get dropped and need to start over. Every one I communicate with knows we will be droppped so it is understood that I WILL CALL THEM BACK.

Used to have great reception at home. Since late Dec. 2010, dropped calls galore, multiple trouble tickets, and hours wasted with 'tech support'. Verizons resolution, "you live in a poor reception area". Really? for 6 years it was fine.

Never dropped a call in the first year I lived here... November of 2010, dropping calls like crazy..Verizon sucks

We switched to Sprint after horrible disconnected calls from At&T. Service up in Anthem is good since the cell tower in near Albertsons. Trust me there is no 4G service fromy my 4G Evo phone or from my 4g equipped laptop. Hopefully Clear and Sprint will resolve their corporate differences and get 4G up in Anthem. Sprint works ok in the M Casino.

Excellent service. I've been a T-Mobile customer for over 7 years. Have used Motorola, Razr, Blackberry, G1 and Samsung phones between me and my wife. Very happy with the service. No dropped calls at all. I'm a realtor, so drive all over town but mostly do business in GV, Anthem and SE-silverado ranch. My brother has Sprint and gets no signal at my house by GV Ranch. Was considering the EVO, but decided to go Nexus S instead.

New cell and can not use it at home... ..wow so happy to be in a two year contract NOT!

I travel between downtown Las Vegas and Madeira Canyon in Anthem, via 95 / 215 and I-15 / St. Rose Pkwy. and never dropped any calls in the 2 years that I have been with T-Mobile. Excellent coverage. I just wished they had better phones!

Never have trouble with reception or call quality. Works perfectly fine.

Have been with AT&T for 8 yrs now, been in Vegas for almost 2 yrs. Service is strong around the valley, lots of towers nearby. Few dropped calls here and there, but STATIC is a MAJOR drawback.

1 bar... Texts show up 10-45 min late with some phone calls going through and others going straight to VM..while on phone call only last 1 minute before being dropped... leaving Verizon today! I cant take it anymore. they will do nothing except say buy a different phone

The Reception out here is unpredictable. There seem to be a lot of dead zones along Volunteer From St. Rose Pkwy. to Sun City Anthem. Hardly no reception inside my home which is in the Sun City Anthem neighborhood. Thinking about switching to AT&T but not sure whether AT&T is even worse.

Poor signal if any. Dropped calls when I do actually get a decent signal for 30-40 seconds. Have complained to Sprint, am told a new tower going online April 2009 with 4 other towers in the following months... we will see... about ready to drop their service.

Not only is the reception lousy, but the calls get dropped continually.
