I didn't expect reception here on Looney's Creek, but I've checked the phone at several places between here and Vansant and I haven't gotten any reception at all. I'm very glad I chose the plan that didn't require a 2-year contract, but I wish I'd sent the phone back within the trial period. At least I can use it on longer trips.

There is still no reception on 460W from Claypool Hill to Vansant. In downtown Grundy, you can usually acquire 1 bar and can sometimes have a 10 minute conversation without dropping the call. On 460W from Vansant, Va to Pikeville Ky, you drain your battery constantly searching for a signal and get one bar on and off- but you can't keep a signal for longer than 3 minutes. So, if you have to call for help, the call may be dropped before the person you are calling can even answer.

No reception at all around Grundy and did not have reception until driving approx. 45 minutes away from Grundy heading for Kentucky.

Sidekick T-Mobile has no range at all. I tried everywhere and still nothing works. from I-77 to grundy, va and around I would say 50 to 60 miles circle outside of grundy va has no signal at all.
