I've been given a Vodafone VF685 cell phone. I already know I'm in a dead zone reception wise. My previous spark phone could receive and send text messages.... just! I've gone into the settings of this free phone and have discovered, after walking around my entire house and back and front gardens that the best signal is -104 dBm 11asu. In most of my house and garden it is -120 dBm ! I don't want to buy a sim card and pre pay package thing for this new phone to find the phone won't even send a text message from my home. And yes, I know there are other things I can buy to boost the signal but I don't want to do that at this point. Does anyone think with that dBm level the phone will work? Thanks.
