What is the best phone from verizon for reception if you live in a rural basement apartment?

I have been living in my basement apartment for 5 years and I have yet to find a verizon phone that has good reception.

I currently am using the vx8350 and it is on and off with dropping calls in my apartment. Is there a phone that would have better reception? Someone told me to try the vx5400. Any suggestions?

Hey,

My house seems to be in a cellular black hole as well, but maybe you could try a signal booster, but they can be expensive.

Here's one for $200, while most are around $300:

Or you could try this, I haven't yet but I will.
