A question for people who have reception issues... how often do you turn your phone off and back on again? Have you ever pulled the battery out of the back? The reason I ask these things is two fold. First, if you never turn your phone off and it freezes on the network somewhere, you're not going to get good service if you're way far away from the place you got frozen. Sometimes it takes a while for you to 'unfreeze'. Second, while powercycling your phone will tell the network "I'm over here now!" pulling the battery right off the phone will do a hard reboot. The example I like to give is turning off your tv vs. unplugging it. If you turn it off and back on again, it's still on channel 27. If you unplug it, it should go back to channel 3 or 4 or whatever. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't, but it never hurts your phone to turn it off and back on again!
