    I'm in Pomona and I have all bars all the time. It's how far from a tower, not Verizon, per se.
    There happens to be a tower a block away from me.

    This. I live less then a block from an ATT store but yet when I had ATT I dropped calls all the time. The majority of the time I was on the phone with customer service because they constantly screwed up our bill. Since the switch to Verizon about 5 months ago, I dont think I have dropped a single call so far!

    Do any of your colleagues use VZW? This way you can verify if it is the phone or just a weak signal area. However, if you have been through 8 D1s, chances are the problem is simply coverage area. That and the fact you get coverage every where else, is also a pretty good indication that the phone is not the problem. The chances of 8 D1s being at fault is possible, but highly unlikely imo.

    I do NOT offer help through PM. Sorry! Try searching for an answer to your question, but if that fails, the forums are the quickest method of getting help!

    I'm on the other coast, but I agree, it is most likely a signal/tower issue. I live at the bottom of a hill. If I walk 100 feet up the hill, I get great signal, but at my house it Sucks. If you want to spend a little money. VW offers a network extender. Hooks to your computer, you'll have great calls and 3G coverage. (No 4G) you may be able to talk them into a discount if you threaten to switch to another carrier.
