LG VX-6100

First of all, this LG VX6100 does have analog mode! Mine has switched into it a few times already! Right here in my hometown even with USCC service! Mine has not dropped any calls as of yet. I've had service with USCC in the remotest areas here in Iowa away from where I live! I'm wondering if maybe it's the phone itself? You might want to just exchange it and try that. But I've had no trouble at all in the last 4 weeks that I've had my VX6100 yet! Hope that helps!
