I live in the greater phoenix area and my zone has very good coverage, or so the CSR says. When I am inside a building, any building, i get 1-2 bars 3g and am constantly falling back to the 1x network. I was at a doctors office the other day and had no reception at all, I called sprint and they sent me a AIR RAVE for free and are waving the $5 a month for 24 months, that's great and all but that's not going to help me when i'm not at home.

I had it replaced right after i got it from a friend with a 'new' phone when i took it in a few weeks ago after my sprint TV refused to work, so i can't say how the reception was on the last phone because I had just got it. I say 'new' because it's got 2000+ calls on the timer and i've had it less then 3 weeks.

Does the Vogue have naturally horrible reception, or does this sound like a bad phone?

you could update your prl to 60652 by dialing *2. If your phone doesn't update automatically you can talk to one of the reps and have them do it but it takes a while the second way.
