Well, I only have one cell phone so I have nothing to compare it to at
present, but my previous phone didn't have the best reception here. Then
again, it was really old (5+ years) so it wasn't exactly a benchmark for
comparision. Perhaps your VM4050 is defective, as opposed to the overall
model. You might want to take it into a store to be looked at, or for
replacement (make sure to have them transfer your #'s and data first if you
do this). I doubt that they'd let you trade it for a different model, but
perhaps they would do this if you insisted. Chances are that it would be a
low-end refurb though.

Sorry that I can't give you more specific advice but I'm not a technical
expert. I only responded because I also have a VM4050 and am fairly happy
with it.

Also, you're still responding to your own posts. Not sure why this is
happening.

Good luck.
