I cannot use my phone almost anywhere in my neighborhood, especially in my house. Have complained to Alltel but was given "Oh well" They tell me I'm right in the middle of 3 towers so I should get good reception. Wrong. I have tried several ways of trying to fix this with Alltel but they will not budge. Basicly they told me to either buy a new phone at the full price, I'm 7 months away from finishing a 2 year contract, or pay the $400 dollars to get out of the contract, I have 2 phone lines, and go to another company. I have been an Alltel customer for about 12 years now and this is what I get. Thanks Alltel!

this area is the blackhole of cell phone coverage. Nextel is the only service that ever worked in the house. Verizon is crap in virginia beach.

Not bad outdoors. Inside reception and calls get dropped. Sounds very digital.

Always fabulous and I run my computer internet service off it too!!

Poor to non existent reception in Baycliff; no reception at pool.

I love my Verizon service. I get great reception in my home and almost anywhere I go. I had Sprint for 3 years before switching to Verizon 2 years ago. I couldn't get service with Sprint in my home or places like Red Lobster, dam neck rd etc. After trying 3 different Sprint phones Sprint told me they don't guarantee service in buildings (sprints customer service is horrible). Also when I had Sprint my friend who had T-Mobile could get service when I couldn't. I then switched to Verizon and what a difference. Wonderful reception and great customer service! I wouldn't switch to any other company!

No reception until I get about 4 miles south of Pungo Light on PA road. Great everywhere, except where I live.

It depends on how the winds blowing, I guess. I've never had so many problems with reception as I have had with this phone.

Great reception inside and outside Occasional voice mail problem taking several days to come in.

Reception outside of house is OK, if I'm out back, facing west (toward Pungo Ferry bridge). Inside, I get anywhere from 1 to 4 bars, but it fluctautes and drops the call quite often. As I travel quite a bit, I have been pleased to get service from Maine to Key West, out to San Diego and Las Vegas
