Poor Reception

[Tinman]

BTW: On my iPhone it doesn't seem to matter what the signal meter on the phone says. Soon as I take/make a call it usually jumps up a few bars. I assume this is the phone ramping up transmit power.

So I don't bother trying to move 5 feet to get more bars. As soon as I make a call it gets better.

The true test for me is how my reception will be when I go back to school which is much more rural then my parents hometown

yea I agree with you cuz my mom has a razr v3i and I get better reception all the time.
