LG VX-7000
Improving reception
Hello, this is my first post here. I just got the VX7000 and I'n not really getting the good reception my wife is getting with her VX4500. She constantly has at least 4 bars wherever she goes while I will barely get 3 bars at most. I've been looking at different sites selling antenna booster stickers and replacement extendable antennae. I was wondering do any of these things actually work, and if so which should I get?
By the way, does anyone have any suggestions as to a nice case (not similar to the holster that came with the phone) for this phone that has a swivel belt clip or possibly a horizontal pouch?
Thanks.

I had the same problem with reception. I tried the stickers, extendable antennae, etc... they're garbage. Don't waste your money. I finally had to dump the phone in favor of a 6100, then Audiovox 9900 and finally a Treo 600. The Treo was the only one with better reception. MUCH better reception. No dropped calls which plagued the other phones as well. Good Luck!

I am in central NC, but the VZW service here is excellent. The problem is mostly situational and more of a dropped call problem. I can walk from one end of my office to the other (about 5K sqft) and drop a call every time. There are a few food stores that most phones won't work in as well. No problems now with any of these situation with my Treo. Solid as a rock. Just wish I didn't have to pay so much for it!

You have to realize, with the 4500, there are more than 4 bars available to see but with the 7000, the reception meter only goes up to 4 bars, so if you have 3 bars on the 7000, you might have four or five or howevermany there are in the 4500...anyway, a call is perfectly clear even when there is no bar!
