Re: Does 3G improve voice coverage?

3G was also developed for improved voice efficiency, so what you're
experiencing is no surprise.

3G was developed for faster data and internet BUT many customers including
myself have seen a service improvement with 3G phones. Remember, you do
have 30 days to try equipment, exchange for something else or just get a
refund.

In many parts of AZ (including my neighborhood) voice coverage is so
bad I usually don't even get a single bar. If I get a 3G capable phone
will my voice coverage improve? The coverage maps show almost no
coverage gaps for 3G but large gaps on the 'regular' coverage map.

btw... I also have Verizon voice (yes, I have 2 numbers, 2 carriers, 2
phones) and it is 100% almost anywhere I go in the USA and AT&T is
definitely WAY behind from what I've experienced. What gives?

Thanks for the help!
