We upgraded our cell phones today from our old, bulky (by today's standadrds), open face cell phones to a cute little LG flip phone...came home and the service SUCKS! (only thing changed was the phones). We can hardly call/hear each other inside the house, which we were able to do just fine before using the bulky Nokias with amazing clarity and loudness. We live in a hard-to-receive area but our previous Nokia phones worked VERY well...(3 or 4 bars our of 5 almost all the time; people were surprised seeing that I got calls INSIDE the campus with those, which other people were never able to do) The LG hardly shows one bar, and just doesn't do a da** thing!
so we called alltel, and the guy just said it's the new phones: being a smaller, flip-style phone, the LG just doesn't have the receiving power of the old Nokias. we're returning the flip's tomorrow, and keeping the old bulky but VERY reliable and powerful Nokias (or perhaps get the newer version of the Nokia's we have, which is still an open-phase, "larger" camera phone; perhaps it'll work like the ones we have now....)
DISSAPOINTING
