Terrible reception either one bar or nothing

Verizon customer for almost 10 years. We've never had more than 2 bars (out of 5) in the house, and normally it's either 1 bar, or no service. We've had Verizon tech people to the house... they say it's just a bad service area, due to lots of trees and other obstructions. But, they continue to take our money, even though we can't make a call from our home. Service around town is usually pretty good.

Poor to sometimes no reception. Verizon acknowledged that my area is marginal and said I have three options: 1. Purchase a cell phone signal booster for the house at $150. 2. Cancel plan with no early termination (I just renewed my contract 2 weeks ago) 3. Do nothing and either deal with it or call forward cell phone to home phone. Not sure what to do because reception is good everywhere else in Houston.

I consistently have calls drop. I have contacted T Mobile and requested a boost which seems to have worked for awhile but now is as bad as ever. Not sure if a better quality phone would help (I've used low-end Nokias). However, have had friends over with better quality phones (also on T Mobile network) and they have calls dropped as well.

Calls dropped frequently but texting great. Calls also very static and difficult to hear. Can't wait for ATT contract to expire. Would not recommend them for cell phone service.

I've had several Nokia's and a Samsung. All the phones usually got 2 bars.

I have had mobile phones for approximately 18 years. Never has reception been so poor so consistently. In certain spots, at certain times of the day, I will get 3 bars; however, this is the exception rather than the rule.

I live about 4 blocks from downtown Houston and both me and my fiancé's phones will not allow any calls and when trying to make a call it just beeps and hangs up... and this is happening on both T-Mobile and Cingular, on both an I-phone and an android... Some calls to LAN lines will go through but just say sorry check the # and try again when it's a 100% known working phone #??

Nearly impossible to make and stay connected during a conversation.

Horrible Reception in Townhome (likely interference from steel structure or something like that). Sprint service seems very patchy to me in Houston. Especially in Spring, TX (North of Houston). The medical center gets good reception, of course. I've been with them too long and am going to try Cingular or Verizon.
