Howdy,

My old man lives in the far north and has a really old Nokia Handset. Can't remember the model but everyone had the same model in the early days.

Anyway, the reception isn't great out at his place, so he's looking for a new phone. He went into his local Vodafone and explained the reason why he wants a new one. (Better reception)

He also mentioned to the sales person that the region name on his screen always switches between two different rebounders when he is on his property.

The sales person told him that a new tri, or quad band handset will help with alot with this problem.

I'm no telecoms expert, but that sounds a little wierd. I thought the extra bands are just to cover you when you are in different countries.

I mean, I have a Samsung U900, and I think that's quad band, yet my reception out there is still crap. The U900 doesn't seem to have a great aerial however.

Can anyone confirm, and know of a particular handset that has notoriously good reception?

Cheers
Aaron
