Reception around town is second to none. In response to the July 18th post, cell phones all speak different languages. Towers aren't what defines the coverage area, it's the provider that is on that tower. If you look closer, you'll notice that the tower in Perth behind Curtis Lumber now has 4 rings on it. That means each of the 4 major providers in your area are on that tower. If you don't like the reception in your area, learn from this experience and next time do your homework first before buying. Buy local! The stores in your area have representatives that spend time in your area and know the coverage in your area, as opposed to the starving college kid in the mall kiosk that is just trying to sell phones to buy beer. Might be a better deal up front, but they roped you in for 2 years. Now what are you going to do? Hope I helped.
