The location is nothern Maryland. Please understand that I get poor
performance there (in Aberdeen) even out in the open, not just inside a
building.

Is there any difference in phones or are they all pretty much alike? I
would make a cellular carrier change tommorow but I still have almost a
year on my contract and I do not think I will win a battle with a
communication giant claiming that I cannot use my phone even if it is
the truth.
