Reception Question For New Customer
I have a question regarding reception. My wife and I have 2 Moto. V400 camera phones (Both Brand New) and while on a trip to Colorado I encountered something odd. We were traveling through Texas up in the panhandle, and my wifes phone had full signal strength on (Plateau GSM) Cingular Extended from Clayton to Dumas, while my phone had no signal at all. I called customer service and they said that all of the OTA programing was correct. Can anyone tell me what is going on? and maybe a resolution....
P.S. I stared receive signal (Cingular Extended) again on my phone in Amarillo. Thanks for any info.

if that happens again try forcing the phone onto another network (Such as ATT) and see if that solves the issue, that is the problem w/ motorola, too much inconsistency
...
Thanks for the assistance, but may I ask how do you force the phone onto another network? I am not that knowledgeable about GSM phones. I was with Sprint, but went to Cingular because the reception in my area was so much better no dropped calls. I must admit since I have been with Cingular I have so far only had 3 dropped calls and I have talked a lot.
