Getting Phone Calls Through Your Cell Phone

I dont know what you're complaining about.

I have Verizon Wireless for my cell provider on the National plan and have used it all up and down the West with nary a dropped call except in Wyoming but I expected that.

Call quality DOES sometimes static out for a second but quickly picks up the signal.

And on those occasions I cant get Verizon's signal, I can always roam on the Extended network on U.s cellular or Sprint if I have too

All in all no problems and excellent customer service.

Come to Chicago or any market with some people in it. If the 1/4 second delay doesn't drive you nuts, the distortion and quantizing noise will.

I have been down in Salt Lake City and also over in las vegas
and still no problems

I also routinely talk to a friendin Chicago that has VZW and he's never complained norhas there been any dropping and very little static on our calls

If you are in a service area like Wyoming you are better off with a analog phone. A digital phone is either in or nothing. At least an analog phone will get through at extreme range with a scratchy signal. This is important if you are calling for help out in the middle of no-where.

one thing you can do is this:

This is a 3 watt booster, at 800 Mhz this would be line of sight so if you where on a mountain top with a good antenna, and a clear path, you could hit a cell site over 90 miles away, with a directional antenna 100 miles plus.

And if you take your 10 element Yagi array with you, I bet you could hit 200 miles. . .;)
