Well, the Hybrid PRL did not work with the comando. Support talked me into changing from the Alltel plan to verizon. That was useless. They did a study and said service was lousy here. Tech support told me that I could get out of my contract for free however upon calling back to try for the Prl one more time I was told that there was no mention of brekaing the contract on file. I will test ATT once again from comporium. Hope I won't have to buy a network extender from them.

The reception is poor with the comando. I had Alltel for years just a standard phone. it worked great but poor in the country areas. Now I switched from Verizon from lack of service coverage to Comporium ATT. That was the same. I bought a network extender and it didn't seem to help much. With ATT my old smart phone had no 3G service either. Now with Verizon at home if the phone rings or dials out I go to 5 bars. If the power goes out I am down to no bars and the signal strength is -120 or higher. Verizon is aware but they have no plans on putting another tower in. I recommend all customers from all services to contact their companies and complain for more or better towers. I think Alltel also had better customer service and tower strength. I did try the Hybrid PRL through Verizon to work with the Alltel towers. It seemed to help in town but it would not work with the extender and smart phones don't have as good reception as a standard cell phone has.

I am lucky if I walk to the end of my driveway and can use my phone. My broadband internet from Verizon is also very bad in my home but they will not let me out of my contract for the broadband at all. The say I have fine service but it only has 1 bar and is very slow for a high speed broadband! Thinking of switching all to AT&T.

No reception at a three house radius on Oakhurst drive. I would ditch my home phone if I could get reception.

Verizon's network is useless in the Charlotte / Rock Hill area. I do a lot of travel around the country. They are the best provider nationwide but not in this area. Motorola E815 is an older model phone but it works better than 4 other modern (Verizon)phones I tried. Do not use Verizon if you live in this area and have no plans to travel much. AT&T (GSM) network is much, much better for the area. I use prepaid GSM cell phone as a backup and it always has 3-5 bars with crystal clear call quality

I have to take the phone outside to even use it and even them I have to tilt my head to the side to get good reception. I can't get any reception inside my house.

I have to take the phone outside to use it at all and even then I sometimes have to lean my head to the side just perfect to get good reception. I got zero reception inside the house.

After several assurances from Verizon that we had good reception they came to our location. About 4 miles SE on 21 from I77 and then east on Neely Store Rd. They confirmed that the reception was very poor and would allow us out of the contract. However they did say they sell an antenna (not offered through stores) that may solve this. Also I see a booster may help. Cost may be as high as $800. Verizon took over Alltel recently. Anyone know if that may help? Any recommendations? Verizon said they have no plans for towers in this section of York County.

If I stand on 1 foot and pray I may get 1 bar but call usually drops. Verizon needs to rectify this issue.Hey Verizon can you hear me now?

When I have service at my house, it's 0 bars -- other times it's "searching for service." I don't even try to make calls on it when I'm at home, instead I have to resort to text messaging. I can't get service at Celanese and India Hook, or in Meadow Lakes either.

Can't use phone unless standing by window or outside by the road. If inside we have static or loose contact altogether. Will switch providers at end of contract.

Reception is terrible. Cant use most of the time even outside of the house. Towers too far away and no plans to put in more near here. 1 bar at best. Have to move to another carrier.

Moved out here in August 2006. Verizon coverage was useless. Had to drop Verizon (after numerous service calls and go with Comporium / Cingular.

Since last year my phone is dropping more calls. Before moving from Charlotte (Airport area) can't remember a time dropping a call.

Am in Tech Soppurt in RHHS, an need reception everywhere in the campus. Spent 40min 9 / 21 with thier Tech Support and was repeatedly as was I near a window. Did the *228 thing many times, still get "Extended Networking / Roaming. From within the building I can't reach a coworker with the same phone..1 to zero bars standard Prior Alltel service was a 10, Verison = 2 Phone is useless

Signal fades in and out, switches to analog. Can't use phone in house, or in driveway!

Great reception in Rock Hill and Columbia. Reception lowers out in Lesslie / country but still works with this phone. Stay in the city and everything is alright.

No reception in about 1/2 my town Rock Hill no reception also in Chester, Chesterfield, or Ruby SC and poor reception in Lancaster SC.
