blackberry reception/dropped calls in the slope?

lnelson · November 2009

i just switched from a regular phone to a blackberry. and now, not only do i have to deal with the horror self-loathing that attends blackberry ownership, but also a gazillion dropped calls.

i've been with verizon for a long time and used it all over the slope and in many other places as well and never had a problem like this. is there some special blackberry curse? does anyone else have this problem?

NB, i have the blackberry "tour," which is similar to the "curve" but i guess newer. i don't know if that makes a difference, but yeah.

First of all, there is no shame in admitting that you have a BB. Many of us have been there. It's not a problem until you realize that your relationship with your 'Berry is more perfect than your significant-other relationship.

Have you tried doing a *228 (assuming you're with Verizon) to update the roaming? That usually helps. There should not really be a problem with reception, specifically with any one phone.

If it uses 3G then you are not alone. Dropped calls in heavily populated areas with the 3G is quite common. The Apple store suggested I turn off 3G when making phone calls during peak times in NYC. Everyone and their mother has an iphone now so 3G get's a ton of traffic.
