We had fair reception when we switched to Verizon 4 to 5 years ago but they apparently aimed the tower in a different direction and so we have had no reception for the last several years. When our contract is up we are switching as all Verizon will do is tell us we are in a poor reception area and they have no plans to do anything about it. On Hwy. 101 1 / 2 mile to the north of us there is good reception.

reception drops 5 miles west of Joyce and doesn't come back until 2 miles east of Neah Bay. Verizon and ATT both assured me that coverage was good all along the strait of Juan de Fuca. ATT drops 5 miles west of Joyce and never picks back up.

With this phone, it is hard to understand the caller, there are interuptions and cutting out and the connection is lost too often. I am sorely disappointed with this phone and / or Verizon.

No reception whatever until 3 miles closer to downtown PA. Occasionally get covered by Rogers Wireless out of Victoria with roaming charges so we have to keep the phones off until within range and ALWAYS check the coverage before calling.

Forget Nextel for Port Angeles. Sprint bought Tellus in CAnada and they serve (if you can use the term while smiliing!) Port Angeles from the hills north of Victoria BC... 29 miles away acroos the straits of Juan de Fuca... .for get off Hwy. 101 and for the most part between PA and Sequim.

I have excellent service on Verizon in combination with my Motorola V710. No dropped calls whenever I am driving through the mountains here. Verizon does place some annoying restrictions on my phone though, disabling some of the Bluetooth features. I may switch to Cingular to take advantage of their plan features and technology.
