My wife and I each have the same model phones. In the house I get 2-3 bars and she gets 1-2 bars. My phone never drops call but her's does. We tried T-Mobile but could not get reception in the house at all. Fortunetly, they took them back and cancelled the contract charging us $15 per phone plus usage (5 minutes!). Worth not being able to use the phones at home at all, but unfortunate that you cannot find out ahead of time if they will work.

Verizon's signal will drop a call or the other party will complain of a poor connection from within the house. Sometimes get better signal outside - not good in winter! Verizon is the best of other carriers at our home but we would like to dump the land line.
