I get some service close to the windows of the house, but none or broken inside. Then outside, clear as a bell. Suncom, then Cingular, now T-mobile... . but people with Alltel can talk through my house!
Cell tower VA04607 is a Nextel Tower and the end of Marvin Rd off of Princess Anne Road. New antennas have just been added to this tower so service to Sprint users and maybe others seems likely.
Carrier - nTelos. No reception when you enter Bordeaux Court (Foxfire) area. Problem reported to N-telos several times and was told that I live in a dead zone and asked if I havea tower in that area. Company acts as if this is my problem (as if I knew there was a dead zone when they sold me the phone), and do not want to address problem or even give credit for drop calls. Customer Service at the Norfolk Military Crossing branch stinks to say the least. All they want to do is argue with you the customer. Had no such problems with reception when we had Verizon. My wife has Alltel and she has no problem using the phone on Bordeaux Court or in the house. Three other friends also are experiencing the same problems within areas adjacent to where I live. It is sad that this company n-Telos keep selling people phone when they know that their reception is bad in this area. This constitutes fraud and deception and I intent to report them to the Better Business Bureau.
I can be in my neighbor hood and have absolutley no reception. As soon as I get out of the neighbor hood I have ok reception. Calls are dropped about 30 percent of the time. May be the phone. Wierd, there is a sevice center within 5 miles of me and I still have bad serivce.
Works fine at Shore Dr.drops off near beach. Signal fluctuates wildly in my home. I must go to the second floor to get a signal. Has a habit of not ringing and fifteen seconds later you are informed you have a voice mail. 710 has a bad charging connection. It connects by two small pins that are very close together. If the phone is not flat or the charging cord has any strain against it, the charging connection is severed and the phone does not charge. Its address book is also strange. Instead of storing all the numbers under one contact name it records each number as a seperate contact so you must scroll through an excessivly long list even within a particular alpha lookup.
Does anyone else in this area close to CBN have trouble with their Verizon Wireless reception, just switched over from Sun Com. No problem with Sun Com but Verizon reception in my area is terrible.
3-6 bars of service in my house. Cingular is great in Virginia Beach. I used to have a Nokia 6360 on Suncom's TDMA network. That service was great. Then I got a Nokia 3220 on Suncom's GSM network. Service was crap in neighborhoods. Always got the network busy signal. Then Suncom merged with Cingular. Now I have a Nokia 6230. Service is great. I have perfect reception almost everywhere. Cingular is great!
