2 blocks from a tower and poor reception in my home? 3rd phone is now offering "somewhat" better reception. Looking for a new carrier when my contract is up.

just signed up with Verizon- only get 1-2 bars reception in my house- guy at Verizon said my area does not recieve good coverage? what a rip... ..

No drop calls and the bars are at average to high.

Well let me start off by saying I am a teenage girl who loves to talk to her friends and fellow classmate and using Virgin mobil is not helping. Every month a waste my mothers money by purchasing a 20$ phone card which will soon be eaten up. My argument with the prepaid issue is it when you run low on minutes your phone just turns off, what iff one day I am a situation where I need to use my cell ohone but I have no minutes left. Every time I purchase a 20$ phone card I could be sa nving money for a contract which would let me talk free nights and weekends.

T-Mobile works just fine. Everyone who puts comments on here are just mad about not getting reception in specific spots. For the most part, I get great reception everywhere in Richmond. I can understand the frustration with no reception in your house, so test it out before you purchase the phone! For the price and comparable reception to Verizon and Cingular, you can't beat T-Mobile.

T-mobile gets perfect reception here. Absolutely no call drops. All five bars

Little to no Sprint reception here. Same with Verizon. We tested a bunch of phones and Alltel and Nextel both get good bars here.

I lose numerous calls in my house near WH Blvd.and Forest Hills. The reception was no better with Suncom, so I suspect the area's reception area is generally bad.

Nice, clear reception. Towers 3 blocks away must be Spring towers.

In my house on Sibley (3 down from Lakeside and Moss Side), no reception at all if the wind's blowing wrong. In the street, no more than one bar.
