Phred, I wonderd about the location too -- but, I had 4 bars, and talked to my mom no problem from the same spot I spoke to hubby. I wandered all around the house talkign to my mom (on her land line) and had no problems. For some reason talkign ot hubby in those same spots didn't work

Then last night, hubby was talking to our son (for the 100th tme yesterday ) and HE was in the same spot I was when calls were dropped. Remember, my son has the SAME EXACT phone as I do. That call was not dropped. Just mine (oh, lucky me!)
