Hello,
My wife has a Motorola V180 with Cingular as her service provider and
has a terrible time with *lots* of dropped calls. The Cingular store rep
talked her out of trading it by saying he would re-program it ... and now
the 30 day trade in period has lapsed, and now he says he cannot trade her
for a new (better) phone as his hands are tied. I am seeing the posts
regarding the 64K Sim cards enabling the phones to access the available
towers more efficiently and am wondering first, if a 64K Sim would work in
the V180 and second, if this might (possibly would/could) help my wife's
dropped call problem. The dropped calls happen (naturally) more often in a
rural area, but are in no way limited to rural areas. My daughter has a
Nokia and doesn't seem to experience the same problem, so I don't think
location has that much to do with the problem. I have looked all over the
web for review sites and almost everywhere I look, the reviews of the
Motorola V180 are positive.
Would the upgraded Sim card help? Or did my Wife get one of the few Lemon
V180 phones?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
