Poor cell phone reception in Millington (Arlington: live in, bars, stations)

[Cellist]

My cell phone is a Verizon and I am finding the reception in Millington is not so hot.

Also, I recently bought a digital TV (Sylvania) and I don't seem to be able to get many stations, and the ones that I do get tend to break up a lot. Would a new antenna help with this?

If your present antenna is old a new one is probably needed. That should help your TV reception, but it won't do much for your cell phone

I live in Cordova and the ONLY place I don't get good cell phone reception (AT&T) is in my own house!!!! That's infuriating.....

I should have said that these were two separate problems. Should the antenna be the same make as the TV? My TV is a Sylvania and the antenna is RCA.

The make doesn't matter...any brand of TV will work with any brand antenna

I have sprint, how is the service there in millington and other surrounding cities, particularly Arlington.

Usually my cell phone shows either one bar or no bars.

On the antenna issue, I went to Walmart and got one of their cheap antennas. It helps me to get channel 10 better, but I still cannot get 5 or 13.
