Nothing else comes close in signal strength. Have asked everyone with a cell.

Sometimes I get 0 bars, sometimes I get a perfect 5. Its like their antenna is some sort of radar dish rotating 360, occationally pointing to my area.

Perfect reception at the corner of Mayfield and SOM. Cingular tower on roof of Gates Mills Towers, so I get a full five bars. Reception trails off as you go up mayfield, and phone roams on T-Mobile in nearby Tops market.

Indoors signal floats between none and two bars tops. Calls can't be made or received without being dumped within 15 seconds. It was like this five years ago with the Sidekick I on TMobile. Way to improve the network / handset guys!

cuts off

Virgin mobile is far by the WORST..They are incredibly expensive Unless you have the phone for emergencys.. I purchused the SE47 Slider... This phone is garbage.. save your $100 and your $20 on your first phone card

I generally get good reception throughout the Cleveland area. The only negative is that sometimes while at home I can have a full 5 bars, and then lose the call for up to a minute, and then have the call come back into reception. When this occurs, I can hear the other side / caller, but that person can't hear me. It's not the phone either, as my wife's phone (different model) does the same thing. Again - overall - good reception.

There is no reception at all in this major suburban market of Parma, Ohio near this area. 25,000 cars a day travel here commuting into Cleveland and every call is dropped . This must be fixed or Sprint is gone in this major market.

The VGA1000 has excellent features but the singal is very weak.

My phone is useless at home. I don't know whether it's the phone or the carrier.
