Horrible no Service, stay away AT&T are crooks

I purchased an OYSTER cell from Virgin Mobil only to find the reception is non existant in my town of Sound Beach. It is so poor that I couldn't activate the phone. When I called the company to get a refund they informed me that I had to write their headquaters to get any posibble money back for my minuets. I might get nothing even though they said they provide service to my zip code area. In other words I have paid them (with un-refunded cell minuets) to find out that they don't provide service in my area. I have never been able to make so much as one call on this cell. Buyer, be ware!

I have had Verizon back since they were NYNEX Mobile and it's paying off because even in my little town that nobody has even heard of (Sound Beach, NY), I get full service. Everywhere I go on Long Island I do not ever drop a call except for certain north shore spots in Nassau. I would advise any friend or family member to go with Verizon Wireless because you won't have to worry about dropping calls.

I just got the phone and I have no reception at all. I can't even call my voicemail
