    I'm moving to an area where Verizon's signal is not so great; I do ok w/ my LG VX8600 (at least 2 bars usually), but my wife has an old RAZR and keeps dropping calls. We have a year left on our contract, so I'd like to avoid switching carriers and paying a termination fee.
    I was thinking to get her a cheap used Verizon phone on Ebay; does anyone have suggestions for reasonably priced Verizon phones that are known to have good reception and call quality? Nothing fancy needed, just something that will work.

    Most Motorola phones are good with reception. The 385 is serving my mom and aunt well. The V325 was a signal hog as well... Mom broke the antenna and the signal wasn't affected all that much. She'd still be using that phone if the battery didn't die. I had an LG 3300 and the reception is good as well. Lots of folks swore by their Motorola E815s as well.

    I agree with Ryan that the W755 would be a good choice.

    Thanks for the advice all, I ended up buying a used e815 on ebay for $25, hopefully it works out.

    You should be in great shape. The V710/E815 series were excellent for reception and ease of use. I still have the V710 floating around somewhere. Enjoy. :)
