One bar, dropped calls. Really Bad. Sprint works really well so I force Verizon to roam on Sprint, since I have free roaming.

Frequent dropped calls. When speaking, small movements cause call to cut out.

No reception in my home. My old Sprint phone (used in same home) got strong signal, good sound, no dropped calls (had phone for 5 years). Recently upgraded to Sprint Sanyo 3100 and now have miserable service in my home. Phone is only two months old, but I was told I needed to update phone with preferred roaming list, which I had done. Was also told I needed an adjustment to boost signal strength-got that done. Have been in to Sprint store numerous times regarding this issue. Sorry I signed up for another 2-year contract. Was told my phone is "fine" (also online reviews for this model phone are good). Did a tower fall down in my area?

Cingular must have put more towers up because I consistantly get 4-6 bars in my house now. I used to have to lean over my desk to talk and even that was iffy. Once in awhile, I'll be in a dead spot and get static, but it's much better now than in the past. Service is good when I am out and about too. I just upgraded to an LG CG225 and hope the coverage is as good.

Verizon is the worst that I've had yet... ..I'm going to demand that they let me out of my contract. Why should I go outside of my house to make a call?

Works good outside or inside if my head is next to a window. Lots of cutting out and dropped calls inside. Going with some one else. I had Verizon but their Bluetooth implementation is immasculated. It did work in my house though.

Poor reception; many dropped calls in Northeast Tacoma. Multiple complaints to Verizon seem to fall on deaf ears.
