    Those extras definitely can be time consuming. They can be helpful though, because in some situations you might not be able to talk, so text messaging can be helpful. If you ever decide to upgrade your phone, please stop by here at CellPhoneForums.net for assistance, and we will help you find a new phone.

    Have you thought about upgrading to an Android phone, or are you happy with more basic phones?

Is it possible that your Sprint phone is roaming? Sprint offers roaming, but Virgin Mobile does not, and that could cause a difference in coverage.

    I'm glad you found a provider that is working for you. What phone did you get?

    The lack of replies might be due to the lack of details in your first post. If you explained the situation a little more there probably would have been a reply sooner.

    My first post, "Anybody have a mini tower to help this?" Kinda sorta simple I thought.. Point is that Virgin is owned by SPRINT but the SPRINT tower knows the phones that are bouncing off their towers and Virgin does not go first, thus it is not as good as SPRINT!! Because Virgin was for the birds I receive a mini tower from SPRINT and all is good.. BYE Virgin..

    Did you find another provider that gets good reception in your area?
    Yes I did SPRINT!!!
