Visorphone lose Signal? Alot?

I have a mysterious problem with my Visorphone. It works great, but then overnight sometime or during the day sometime it will lose a signal and not come back until taken out and reset a couple of times. These are areas, that usually, when on has full signal strength? Any ideas why this might be happening?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks alot.

I am having the same problem with my "Second" Visorphone. I sent the first one back, because the signal would drop all the time. This one still has the signal disapper, but not as frequently. I tried the little internal antenna sticker you can buy (don't waste your money). If my Visorphone were a "regular" cell phone I'd take it back in an instant due to these problems, but I really like the capability of integrating it with my Prism, so I'm hanging in there. Let me know if you find a fix.

Good Luck!

Ditto - I, too, am on my second VisorPhone and have the same problem; but, like Travis, I'm putting up with it for the convenience of integration. Never had a problem with my old Nokia 5190 (same carrier, same location)....

I know we're not alone in this, and it makes me angry that Handsrping won't acknowledge that this is (or, could be) a hardware issue - a hardware issue they're working to address. <sigh>

Its normal with Cingular. When i'm in my house with either Visor Phone or 6190 signal will loose and come back. Even singal level is showing 0 you can still make calls and talk clearly. Very strange.

When I get out of my neighborhood Signal strength goes up to full almost anywhere in my city. Cingular seem to have very good Freeway Coverage, Compare to my ATT service and my girlfriend's SpintPOS.
