Dropped call problem...
I’ve had my v265 for about 5 months. For the past month and a half or so I’ve had quite a few dropped calls. Over the course of the day I am on the phone for 2 to 3 hours.

It really depends on where you are. Dropped calls are usually not a phone problem, they're more of a coverage area problem. If you only have the problem in your home you might want to get an outside antenna for your home, like a Yagi. That's probably the best solution.
It's hard to say why it's happening tho. I have the same phone and I rarely drop calls unless I'm out of the good coverage area.

Sorry to hear about your problems with the V265. Belive me when I tell you they're par for the course. The 265 is a piece of ****. Get another phone.
