Wish I could say it was, but I have been having this same single problem with my V300, A630, and now this V600.
I recently read this blurb about having GPRS always on, and it seems to increase the signal reception, I am not saying whether this is true or false, but I am willing to try anything. It is very hard to visit my family, and not have cell service, and even the T-mobile staff there have no clue why signal is so terrible. We (T-mobile and myself) have changed/upgraded SIMs, I have gotten other phones and brands, nothing seems to make a difference. I have inquired is it possible my sim (issued in Palm Beach County) is not compatible with the network in my families area (since it is only a few years old (much newer than what is in WPB) and they don't even know if that is possible. If it getting to the point, where I am considering getting a prepaid phone I will just forward my T-mobile to when I am traveling...isn't there something wrong with this picture. --- Ron Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a Moto V600 with the $19.99 unlimited > Internet, plus voice.
