Sometimes I get them on time, most of the time - in my apartment - they never show up.

I miss a LARGE percentage of calls in my apartment, texts come in late (more like, not at all) voicemail indicators never show up either. I had a close friend of mine trying to get a hold of me the other night. Sent her a text at 1:17 or so in the AM, she texted me right back. At about 1:45 she tried calling, twice... neither of which rang for me. On the second call, she left a voicemail. She said she kept trying to call every 15-20 minutes or so till about 4am, and none of them ever got to me. At 5:50 in the morning or so, my voicemail alert finally came through and woke me up. When I called it to check it, I got 12-15 texts while the call to voicemail was active, all dated through the night.

I don't have poor service at my apartment. With the telus radio, it's easily 4-5 bars out of 7. My Helio Ocean (sprint network as well) got 4/5 or 5/5 bars in the same locations and it had notoriously bad cell reception. My TP on the sprint radio got 1-2 bars if I was lucky. All VZW users have nearly perfect service there too.

There really isn't an excuse for this, and it's extremely frustrating because there are people who need to get in touch with me and I keep having to call my voicemail every 30 minutes or so to check if there are any texts that haven't been pushed to me. I've learned that after about 18 seconds in voicemail, when the lady says "To indicate your choice..." MOST waiting texts will then arrive.

All of my friends complain about how they can't get a hold of me because I don't answer. It's not that I'm not answering, it's that the damn phone rarely rings. It hits these points where it just totally stops receiving any 1xRTT data (calls/texts) and it stays that way till it times out or who knows what else hapens.
