With all the new technology for iPhone 5 or the Samsung 3S, that can do anything from taking panorama \u00a0photos, or bumping phones to transfer photos, they can&#8217;t do the most essential thing a phone suppose to do, make a phone call. These big phone company like Verizon or AT&amp;T that promote their services and push these fancy phones, but in a city with many high raises, you can&#8217;t even get reception. It&#8217;s not just me but most of the people I talked to living in the city, have crappy reception no matter what top tier phone carrier they have.<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #666699;\">Living in a city with bad reception, I had to resort to installing app to my phone like Google Voice, Google Chat, Talkatone, Skype, mighty text and I have MagicJack to communicate for both business and personal. I basically only use my data to make call and send or receive text messages and for my last month phone bill, I only used less then 80 minutes of my anytime minutes. I&#8217;m sure my friends wouldn&#8217;t want to list my contact in case of an emergency because they won&#8217;t have room to write all my numbers on one line.<\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12318\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12318\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.peterfever.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12318\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/index.php\/2012\/10\/23\/big-city-big-problems\/bad-reception\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Bad-Reception.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"600,400\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Bad Reception\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Bad Reception&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Bad-Reception-600x250.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12318\" title=\"Bad Reception\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Bad-Reception.jpg\" alt=\"Bad Reception\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Bad-Reception.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Bad-Reception-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.peterfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Bad-Reception-500x333.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12318\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bad Reception<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well Chicago is not the biggest city but it&#8217;s ranked the third largest city behind NYC and LA.
