I've been having lots of problems with static and dropped calls when I'm talking from home. I haven't really had the problem when away from home. Verizon came out and checked the area and said I'm in a bad reception area. They told me I can cancel the contract because of this. My question is...is there a way to get all my apps and info off this phone before I cancel? I won't be able to use Verizon backup because I will have to find a new carrier. My next question is...will I still be able to use this phone with a new carrier? I hope someone will be able to help me. Thank you.
