Dropped calls with LX5450 and Alltel

Dec 26, 2004 4:45AM PST

Hello everybody!!

I just got my new LG LX5450 camera phone for christmas and i've been using it non-stop. However, for some reason i've been getting dropped-calls when using it in the house. It's only been 2, but my mom's Motorola T720i and my dad's LG VX3100L have not; and I have used theres before with no incident. Is there something wrong with my phone or is it Alltel? Please help!!!

I was talking to my friend, and it was dropped. I guess i'll have to make it 3. I think it might have something to do where I'm at in the house. Anyway, I guess everybody is busy with Christmas so thanks for looking anyway!!!

I to have a 5450 and it is a pain in my but, I spend more time redialing then I do talking.
My phone also jumps in and out from Digital to Analog, and thats even if I leave it on the besk when I am at home, its like it has a mind of its own and it can not make it up witch one it wants to be on changing all the time. Now my mom, dad and Girlfriend have the same phones but they only have dropped calles all the time, back to my phone the batter seems to gose down fast, and I dont even have to use it.

I Don't Get That Much Anymore

Hello!!!

I don't seem to get many dropped calls anymore. I think Alltel did something with the towers in my area becuase I now get better call quality and reception. I use my phone in Digital area and I get good quality everwhere but at my house. It works good everywhere else!!!

Probably not your phone or your provider. No cell phone can guarantee 100% coverage on every phone everywhere. Keep that in mind. You may want to have the phone checked out though.
