Reception

Have a few questions on reception.

I have an LG L1400 and whenever I go into a store I get either little to none or no reception while in the store. I used to get full bar service on my former provider (not mentioning that company). I'm not knocking Cingular because I love the service that I have received from them since being a customer for 2 weeks now.

1. Could it just be that LG's have lousy reception or maybe my particular unit is a bad one?

2. And for anyone (lucky devils 😈 ) that have the Moto V551's, do you get reception while in stores?

3. And is the Moto V551 reception just overall better than the LG?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to getting my V551 in a couple of weeks.

1. Could be the phone.

2. Yes - all 5 bars. I have gotten this in both WalMart, and Hannaford and also in the middle of a large mall that I have had problems getting reception in before. I have made calls in all 3 places as well without any problems.

3. I had the LG and sent it back for the Moto. I actually think that the reception is about equal. I never got a chance to test the LG in a store because I only had it for about 3 days.

You'll like the Moto - it's a great phone.

could just be the location of the store you are in. At the Target near my house, i get good service inside, but at the Wal-mart near my work, i get very little service right now (we're building a tower in the next 2-3 months near here.)

whats the zip code of the store you are referring to?

both areas are high coverage areas. the only thing i can think of is that you may be working off 1900 mhz towers, which don't penetrate as well into buildings. i'm not sure of what that market uses primarily. any other Cingular rep know?
