Is this phone good in hard to reach areas

I never had any trouble transmitting nor receiving anywhere I was in the south nor in the western or northwestern US. Hope this helps

As far as I remember, I was able to make calls in a hard to reach area where I work with this phone

I found it poor in easy-to-reach areas. That could have been my phone, though.

As far as I can remember the phone seemed to work ok. I had that phone quite a while then the display gave out on it I now have the LG840G which I got at Walmart. Triple minutes for life of the phone. I've had this unit about a year and it's functioned well. Good Luck!

OK. It is not bad but at time the volume on the phones seem low and it is hard to hear. When they are loud enough they are clear. All the negative reviews on this phone were right. One of the few things I like is that its range is good.

My area is just at the edge of good coverage for AT&T.; It's able to lock on to my dog even when she is under the bed, which really surprised me. If she goes into one of the low areas of our woods, it will lose her. It uses both satellites and cell towers to get a good lock. Problems arise when it can't get both. Then it will show her to be about 20 miles away at a local lake. If it does that, I just wait a few minutes and ping her again. The problem with a poor signal while outside the set geofence is that it will drain the battery quicker than usual. AT&T; has been expanding its coverage area in recent years, so you may actually get a better signal than you expect.

This phone is semi-smart. It can access the Internet, send pics by text, and has shortcuts to FB and Twitter, and much more. The drawback is that it's not as easy or fast in getting online with it and using Google or searching.

Dear, as the phone supports 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, if the sim card or the area meet this condition, you can enjoy worry-free travel wherever you go. Thanks a lot.

I have four of these phones and they all have a good range. My apartment is on the second floor of the building and the phone operates within 75 feet even outside of the apartment.

I live in a very small town in the country where there is usually terrible service. I bought this and put it right near a window and it gives me just enough signal to receive text messages and SOMETIMES phone calls. I had to try a few different windows before finding a place that worked well enough. I did however buy another antenna that goes on the roof of your house, and that didn't work at all, so I wouldn't advise that.

It depends on where you are using the phones. If you need the reception to penetrate many objects like walls, the range is about 150 feet. If you have less obstacles it will go much further at around 300 feet. The walkie talkie feature on this phone has even better range than when on a phone call. This is a great product and I am very happy with it.

It works fine outside but recently I've had problems getting them to connect to my phone. It could simply be I have an old phone.

I honestly don't know. I have had little problem connecting to any service. You're going to get those times where you're put in the middle of no where, and have one bar, but I have not lost service completely with this phone.

I would definitely not recommend this phone to elderly persons or those with sight or dexterity issues. In addition the voice quality is not the best. Good luck.

I have had no problems. The cell phone needs to be rather close to your base unit, and there needs to be good signal strength from your cell. If your cell is dropping the call, it needs to be moved to where the signal is the strongest. If your base unit is dropping the call, then your cell phone needs to be closer to the base.

it works everywhere... i work in the gas/oil fields here in pennsylvania. sometimes signal is limited but i always have enough signal to both make phone calls and send emails. i have both att and verizon cell phones(iPhone 5's) and both get out with no problems. its worth every penny spent. i have 4 of them, one in all my work trucks(3), plus another i bought for my sister who lives outside austin, tx. they work flawlessly...

It has a long range. I can get 200-250 ft from the phone before it disconnects

No. These phones are terrible. We sent ours back and got Panasonic instead. The ePure looks cool, but is of poor design and performance. There range is less than 50 feet inside the house. Don't get them.

I am in the mountains, and the phone works better than expected. I can be down in a small canyon or behind many trees and it works well.
