on my last post, I said that this phone is vary accessible to blind and visually impaired people who can not read the phone's screen as far as caller ID, and knowing how many bars of signal strength they have. This phone will announce all that including the menu options you scroll through, as well as announcing if you are out of the servis area or not. Every where I go, I have 6 bars total. But even at 2-3 bars the phone picks up the signal vary vary well. But, in order to have the phone announce caller ID, and menu options out loud to you, it must be in announce mode. There are several ways to do this. go to menu, voice, sound modes, and select announce mode, and highlight on or off. Press OK. Or press the left voice command key and scroll to that option and press ok. Note. The phone will announce the command option you are scrolling to. Or say announce into the ear piece or speaker. Then you should hear the phone say, announce mode activated if you turn it on or deactivated if you turn it off. Conclusion. For thoughs of you sited people out there who have this phone, I am sorry that you guys were having so much trouble with it. This depends on a variety of things. either the phone was dropped on a hard serfis that made it degrade performance over 3 months, or it just was defected in general. But Over all, this LGVX4650 from Verizon wireless is a beautiful phone that helps out blind people like me in thoughs ways that I have said before. This is a grate beautiful phone that works well, and because you sited people had so much trouble with it, I'm vary sorry to here that. If you have not done so already, call Verizon and let them know you would like to upgrade to a better phone that will suit your needs. but wait until your new every 2-year registerd comes along.

Very poor, sometimes almost impossible to use. I changed phones 4 times trying to find one that would work. My partner has an old ATT analog / TDMA phone and it works no better. We keep it though because it is the only one that will work in the Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon south of Heppner near Cutsforth Park. And now Cingular charges us a surcharge to have the TDMA service! Cell phones, what hooey! But now I', hooked.

my qwest wireless servis works some what good in my apartment but it drops when I am on a conversation with friends or checking my minutes of use while inside the building. but, when I go outside, no problem. I talked to a qqwest wireless servis person about this and they said it's the tower, and not the phone. they also said that they are working on this problem and when it's done, my phone will update according to new touar Availability. I guess when you are on the lower level of your own apartment, that might be the problem also. But other than that, grate servis everywhare else I go in the city of portland, oregon

Looks like it's real hit and miss with any phone or service. I started with AT&T years ago and then Cingular when they switched me over and never had any reception or dropped call problems throughout the Portland metro area, including Tigard and Sherwood. That is until my last move, last February, into the Hollywood area. Admittedly, living in the basement of an old brick building will dampen the signal, but having to walk a block away to an open parking lot everytime to make or receive any calls is getting tiresome. But there's the contract and I don't want to pay for both a cell and land line. I also had started a new job in Oregon City (on the hill above The Home Depot and the dump) and received bad coverage there also. I wonder if there is a connection? Who knows...

I can barely make a call at all in this dead zone around my house. T-Mobile works fine here, but Cingular does not.

Cingular is awsome all round. I hav't had many problems and even used to have them when they where ATT! They where good then, I had a simiens phone. Plain an simple though. Cingular RULES! CDMA (Limited use technology) GSM (Used Around World) So if the world uses it. Why keep somthing that is going to go away soon? bye bye CDMA!

I live in Seattle area and travel to Oregon a lot. I have been on my cell phone many times and never droped a call while driving down I-5. Before I upgraded my phone I droped many calls, most of the time it is your phone not your netwrok.

Constantly drop calls. Verizon has mentioned that this is based on the number of hills between my location and the tower location. The good news is that they will building a new cell phone tower in 2007 that is closer. The problem is that they dont have a specific date. So it could be constructed anywhere between 1 / 1 / 2007 and 12 / 31 / 2007.
