My suggestion is to purchase an antenna booster. It's a specially designed sticker that gets placed on the back of your phone under the battery cover. they're fairly cheep and can be found on eBay as well as various sites on the internet. I've used them on all of my past phones including the TP I have now. Some people have mixed feelings about them, but they work well for me. (well enough for me to recommend). I have crappy reception at home, always have (i think it's a dead/dying zone), but with the booster applied, i went from 0-1 bars to 3-4 bars! hope this works for you.
