In my own house / yard I get anywhere from 0 to 5 bars. Right now 4, but that is not normally the case. Usually when I actually need to make a call it is 1, even after reprogram. Many drops, missed calls, and cutting out. Phone is an old model and has seen a lot of use. Oddly enough my wife's identical phone does fine, which makes me wonder if mine is just worn out.

Reception is very poor inside and poor outside. My ringtone is the Greenacres theme song because I feel like I need to climb a pole just to answer the phone.

Very erratic reception

Excellent reception throughout Licking County

Reception is good when outside; however, it does decline a some when entering buildings.
