    Signal Reception?

    Well, it seemed like a good deal when the Verizon person I spoke with on the phone told me I could upgrade without turning in my current phone. She said as long as I did the transaction over the phone, I didn't have to turn it in. I guess she didn't know what she was talking about because the...

    Signal Reception?

    Thanks for all the responses! Unfortunately, I returned to that Verizon store last week. It doesn't seem that any of the same people who were there in September still work there, but they still were amazingly unhelpful. I think the worst part of living in a rural area is the lack of choices when...

    Signal Reception?

    Thanks for everyone's responses, but I ended up keeping my Droid. On more than one occasion, I tried to exchange my phone, and the Verizon store reps would tell me what a horrible decision that would be. They told me I wouldn't be able to get service outside of town with the G2. I asked them how...

    Signal Reception?

    Thank you. I really appreciate everyone's responses. I use my phone for a lot of things, and I think the G2 is more of what I'm looking for. I've also been looking at the Note 2, but I'm very concerned about signal with them being made by Samsung. I usually obsessively research things before I...

    Signal Reception?

    I went to in the Verizon store with the intention of exchanging my phone. The first rep I talked to didn't know much about it, but said it had worse battery life and signal than the Droid Ultra. I told him I had read the good things about the battery and signal, and he said it is different where...

    Signal Reception?

    I have not yet made a decision. I am leaning towards exchanging for the G2 as long as it has the swipe keyboard and good voice controls. I'm waiting on the Verizon rep to text me back to let me know if I can still trade phones. Most of the replies seem to be good in the reception area. The two...

    Signal Reception?

    We don't have Comcast where I live. I tried the link anyway, and it only gave me the option of iPhones, but they were not any cheaper than they are at the Verizon store. I can't justify spending another $100 just to get better battery life. The Motorola cameras aren't too great either. It's...

    Signal Reception?

    Thanks for the responses. I think I am going to switch to the G2 as long as the reception is comparable to the Ultra. I know that I'm not ever going to have great reception at my house unless Verizon puts up more towers (which they've actually put up quite a few since taking over Alltel. AT&T...

    Signal Reception?

    Thanks for the welcome! I live in a pretty rural area, so reception is never great. I had AT&T and Straight Talk before. Verizon seems to be much better than AT&T so far. I used to have no service at times with my iPhone and wouldn't receive all calls and texts. So far I always have service with...

    Signal Reception?

    After 5 years with iPhones, I've switched to Android. I bought a Droid Ultra about a week ago. I brought it back because the battery life it horrendous, and the signal at my house is worse than my husband's Lumia 928. I wanted to exchange it for something else, but the salesman talked me into...
