WHAT??!! You have that 'non-existent' triband phone? I just went on a rant on another thread. ..Best buy told me there was no such thing when I was shopping for a phone. I even told them the last letter of the model# would be 'T'. No dice. . No phone. So, after a few more trips to Best Buy I went ahead and bought my S4. Two weeks later I see the announcement that the triband is out. Still within the 2 week period I go BACK to Best Buy. They basically said I'm crazy and ALL S4 phones are triband. I gave up and gave in. I REALLY wanted that triband to get better reception in a pretty bad spot where I go to visit family. So, please tell me. .. Has the triband helped with your reception? I know I'm out of luck, but I'm STILL very curious! Thanks!

This is my first Samsung, but maybe I can still add something.
I have very weak reception in my house. My HTC kept dropping calls, and I had to step outside to make a clear call.
My daughter came to visit over Christmas. She has a S3, and her husband has a S4 (not a tri-band), neither of them had any problem with calls.
My son-in-law is a VP in his company, and spent a few hours on the phone every day, he had no reception complaints.
I bought my S4 (tri-band) because of that. I still only get 1 bar in my house, but no dropped calls or breakup in the 2 1/2 weeks I have had it.
I think the Samsung S series get better reception, but I'm not sure the tri-band is any better than the dual-band.
