Can't use phone reliably at our house at all. used to have Verizon, they let us out of our contract due to poor reception. We went to Alltel, now Verizon has taken them over and we are back where we were. Only time we can use our phones is when we are away from home. Verizon will let us out of our contract, but that doesn't help if I can't figure out who CAN give us decent coverage.

Verizon reception is nonexistent. I had Alltel and every phone worked perfectly in and around my house. Now with Verizon I have to drive 1.5 miles up the road to get service. Verizon did a test and told me today that we are in a "poor service" area. Offered to let us out of contract with no early termination fees. Too bad I didn't know this before we spent $600 on phones that are now useless. I am going to try all of the other carriers one phone at a time and return them if they don't work. I hop I can find anyone as good as Alltel was. Also Verizon told me when they bought Alltel's equipment they consolidated some towers, sold some, etc. so that's why my service is gone.
