Nokia 3589i (Verizon Wireless)

This is an oldie but a goodie! It is one of if not the best phone that Verizon ever offered if your primary concern is receiving calls and you're not worried about the fancy bells and whistles on the newer phones. I have had many of the newer supposedly better phones but none a single one would work in the sound-proof "break up" room that I worked in for a number of years. The newer fancy phones either did not receive calls or dropped them plus reception was poor. Worse yet I had the same problem with many of them in my office at home in certain places. Recently I dropped my latest phone and drove over it and had to purchase a new phone and decided to find and old used Nokia 3589i on eBay. It has been a few years but it was like finding an old long lost friend as soon as I got it activated. I started getting all my important business calls no matter where I was and regular contacts started asking me if I was at home on my land line because the reception was so clear! The only down side is that is does not have a speaker phone function. But when it comes down to getting a call or missing it (the difference between getting a $200 or maybe $3000 order from a customer or losing it) I can live with this!
