usually no reception - sometimes a weak call that will be dropped - switch to Nextel made no difference. But, Verizon does work properly here. Neighborhoods at top of Maple Dr.are especially problematic if you don't have Verizon.

I get maybe one bar if I face it at a certain angle. Otherwise, I have to get 50 feet from the porch. My roommates have Verizon and they haven't had a problem

LG phones totally suck! Verizon can't give them away free. The next time they try, run in the other direction as fast as you can. They must have some kind of cheap deal with LG. The phones are horrendous.

Works perfectly throughout syracuse and surrounding areas. Gets better service than other carriers.

Two bars at best. I have had the service for about 3 years. I am starting to get more dropped calls starting around July of 2006. While traveling, I get good service in major metro areas.

I've had Verizon 5 years, and live on top of Onondaga Hill, and have terrific reception no matter where I go... The phone never drops a call and will ring and give me my calls no matter where I am... all over the country.

Very poor coverage on top of Onondaga Hill. Verizon states it is "tough" to have good coverage on top of a hill. Frequent dropped calls while in my home and outside is not much better. Disappointed with the “network” on the Hill. I literally need to be half way down the hill towards the City or Geddes to get good reception. Oh, and never mind what the signal strength display shows, it lies.

i have had Cingular for a couple of years and it works fine never had a problem

There is a dead-spot located at my school. I get two bars or less (on my phone there is a maximum of four bars). Pleased with Verizon. I can make calls when I stand by the front doors and other calls I make do not get dropped if we connect.

5 bars, 1 bar, 5 bar. Unbelievably unpredictable. Stand still in my house and drop a call, without moving, turning a head, anything. Look at the phone, 5 bars. Three phones later (one after I threw it against the wall after cutting out during family medical emergency) doubt it will get any better. Verizon staff shrug and say "yup, looks like you have a high percantage of dropped calls" DUH! Unacceptable in a major city. Think they could send someone out to evaluate the problem... .HAHAHA. Someone said blame WAER. I'm not sure who to blame, just want a phone to consistantly work in my living room. Corner of Seeley and Salt Springs, always dead. And that's at a top of a hill!
