We were told there are 5 towers in our area and that signal strength would not be an issue, however, we experience a lot of dropped calls. Verizon told us we need to either pay $200+ for a signal booster or go to another carrier. Sheesh!

Please don't charge us for a signal booster in our home - we are already spending hundreds of dollars every month for a Family Plan with data packages. We were told that signal strength would not be an issue - please stand by your statement.

Towers are only part of the equation by PepperElf Posted Sun July 29, 2012 @ 1:32 PM You also have to consider other things like what your house is made of and whether or not you have obstructions between you and the towers. Here where I live it doesn't matter which carrier you use. All my neighbors have the same issue - cell phone reception sucks because our apartment walls are lined with bricks. Plus it probably doesn't help that we have a lot of trees between us and the closest tower. So yes you may have excellent reception in your area. And still have crap if you're using it indoors. Reply
