Ok, I have an LG Optimus S phone. I love the phone and the things that it is able to do....my problem....3G. My carrier is Sprint. I am an xray tech where our department is smack dab in the middle of the office building. At work I have 3G, I don't have 3G, I am roaming, I have no bars, I have 1x (whatever that is).....ugh. When I try to get online or get on Facebook. It loads and loads and loads....I usually have to walk around the corner to send a text message. All my coworkers have Verizon (who I really don't want to go back to) and they can get on Facebook, etc...I will switch to Wi-Fi but it does the same thing....loading, loading, ..... Now I may be crazy and 10 years of doing xrays I may have lost a few brain cells (HA HA HA) but I really hope and don't think it's the lead walls surrounding me. I have taken it to Sprint and they did a reception test and it failed. So they sent away for a "refurbished" phone but it still does the same thing. So if someone can tell me if it's the phone or the service before I throw my phone!!!!
