Hello Don It depends what kind of PCS phone your son have. Is it a CDMA, TDMA or GSM phone, GSM for example specify a minimum receiver sensitivity. However this is specified as a parameter measured conducted at the antenna port.
The antenna itself is not specified. So you can find phones with the same sensitivity but very different behavior in the field due to the different antenna parameter. I f you need more information give me a call.

My son is in college and we stay in touch with Sprint pcs phones. This worked fine until someone broke into his car and stole his phone. Then we found out, to no real surprise, all phones are not created equal -- his replacement phone does not work from his residence. The original model is no longer available. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any web sites or technical support people who can provide any information on the sensitivity of the various brands of phones offered by Sprint. Do any of you know where this type of information can be found?
