Thats my reason plain an simple! I didn't think about that. Good point! I do have a bluetooth but I don't like wearing it all the time, just when in the truck and I know I'm going to be on the phone a bunch. Otherwise I find it uncomfortable, and I even have one of those high dollar jawbones.

Not trying to sound like a smarta$$, but what does that have to do with the phones reception? Am I missing something?  

Well, I've had many with crappy reception, others on verizon, same network as I, will have no problems. I think it has something to do with my head. But I need a phone with good reception quality.

The people in the verizon store do seem to really know their stuff, didn't really get that feeling from the T-mobile guy, but that was just one sales rep,...... Could've been new

You pay extra for the device every month after purchasing it with sprint? I have one with verizon and you buy the device, plug it in to the back othe modem and that's it, no monthly fee, no contract. You still use your minutes on your plan but that's ok. I don't know about T-mobile, but when I was talking to the T-mobile guy he was telling me that they were no longer carrying a network extender type of device, there phones would access WiFi were available and that did the same thing as the network extender device. I liked the sound of that, but I always wonder if these guys have all their facts straight and they are just trying to get you to switch. 

Well, I don't know how these VOIP's work for cell phones but network extenders seem to be the best choice for  me. Continunued use of the same phone with the same number is the way that makes the most sense for me. Got rid of any land lines a long time ago, saves money and I don't have to give my customers multiple ph numbers. Both my wife and daughter have simple phones with texting and that's it. We use a computer for web access. Walk in the house and it's cell service as usual with no reception issues, as long as the internet is working. No dropped calls and flawless reception with full signal. If VOIP's for cell phones work like this then I'm interested, otherwise not sure if it's for me

I know sprint used to, but you had to have a device plugged into the network in your house and your calls were routed over the internet. Was really designed for poor cell signals inside your house. The guy at T-mobile said that their phones switched to WiFi when close to a WiFi location to improve cell service when inside, still came off your minutes though which was OK with me, was just looking for improved cell service inside my house which sucks. I have a Verizon network extender which is great, but it looked like many providers were going to WiFi in place of devices like the network extenders to compensate for poor cell signals where WiFi was available. As a matter of fact I think Verizons network extender is not sold anymore which made me think they were making a switch to WiFi in place of it.   Any further comments or info reguarding this?
