no phone is perfect weather lay of the land(and yes certain ore deposits) season effects(tree's with or with out leaves) will efect any signal. and radar from a gov air port my interfer with said(the gov under nat sec in not under fcc rule) some modle pick up a weak signal and gets good clear use others none some will get good inbound and lousy out bound it is best to talk to folk in your area on how their modle phone is there. at my gun club here where i am the police radio dont work the place is down in a punch bowle so to say and the towers and other radio sigs over shoot the spot.
(a bit off topic read a pice about magnetic ore diposits next to quarts deposits haveing a efect of radio and such these area screew with gps devices)
