TELECOM Digest OnLine - Sorted: Cell Phone Reception

Cell Phone Reception

I have been having problems with my cell phone (LG) dropping calls in
my home. Seems like you talk for a few minutes and the call is
dropped. Getting tired of this and thinking it was my phone, I went
to Verizon since I was near the end of my contract and got 2 new LG
6100 camera phones (one for me and one for my son). I paid over $200
-- there is a rebate.

Well don't you know it the same thing happens with this phone. I did
some testing and find that the signal bars are very weak in my area
(suburban), its not just my house ( a regular wood house) but
seemingly a few miles area the signal is weak. I drove about a mile
east and the signal bars got stronger and then they got the strongest
a few miles a way. The phone worked fine there.

So does this mean my area is in a dead zone?

What can be done? How can Verizon put someone in a contract if it
knows that cell reception will be poor in there area? Why doesn't
Verizon fix this so we all could get uniform service. It seems a rip
off if I can't use my cell phone in my home.
