We purchased Verizon service with 10 free V-120 phones for our
employees. I am now trying to get the phones replaced as they don't
work well. This is not an occasional problem and is causing
communication problems with staff in the field. Not only is it
impossible to place many calls, but if a call does connect, it is
dropped repeatedly. I cannot use the phone from my home in Springfield
Illinois at all.

We have found that the V-120 is only usable if the caller is very
close to a cell tower. In side by side tests of this phone; in the
same location where the V-120 does not work, a cell phone with an
antennae (i.e. LG LX-4400, Motorola T-720, Audiovox CDM-9000, Motorola
V2260)) will work on the Verizon network.
