Cell Phone Reception

Cell phone reception is an odd and very annoying thing. I have had my current cell phone for 3 years (hurray my contract is done). Throughout the contract I have been in various large urban cities including, Calgary, Ottawa, Toronto, Waterloo among others. While living at these places I had the joy of having 0 to 3 bars maximum. However the other week, I went to a mountainous normally private ski area. In the middle of nowhere and I had an amazing 5 bars on my cell! It wasn’t even like there was a tower anywhere either. What is up with this?

Shouldn’t reception be in relation to where you are and what is needed? I mean in my room on campus I wouldn’t even get reception at times (no I wasn’t in a basement). Even when I was working in downtown Toronto, there were places I couldn’t get reception. I really think that companies in Canada need to work on that. I hate it when I’m roaming anywhere in the US that I get so much better reception than anywhere in Canada. Why is it that Chicago, Bismarck or even random towns in Wisconsin should get better coverage than large Canadian cities? We should all petition to have them send out better reception. We are all getting cancer from cell phones and wireless stuff either way, we might as well get good service while we’re at it. Stop selling the government and ppl the rights to listen to our convos... start letting us have clear and reliable connects to make our calls

I've never really had a problem with my cell phone... although the reason behind that is most likely because I rarely use the phone! :P Your phone is 3years old ish, maybe you should replace it.
