Outside... ok. In my house, almost nothing.

Great reception and reliable phone.

Cingular customer service is the only thing worse than its reception. I have to move around the house constantly to get some reception and must keep the conversation short. Cingular will change back to AT&T, but unfortunately it is going to be only a cosmetic change (just a name.) The big brother won't have me for long! Switching to T-Mobile which has improved a lot and does not spy on you while trying to control the internet!

I can't get any reception whatsoever inside my apartment. Even standing at the window I only get 1 bar! I am so disappointed with Cingular I will definitely not use them when my contract expires.

Since the Capitol Expansion Project, my experience with Cingular has improved dramatically. Now, I get 2 to 5 bars depending on where I stand.

I work inside the Postal Square Building (4th fl) and I have no signal most of the time except when I going near a window to outside or atrium lobby.

HORRIBLE reception with my Cingular phone in my row house, any floor, near window or not. Calls drop out every 10-15 minutes on average (at least!). Even outside the house on the porch or the sidewalk, signal strength is weak at best. Can't wait til July to switch to Verizon! BTW, not happy with Cingular's customer service since it ate AT&T Wireless, with whom I'd originally signed up. After repeated requests by phone and by e-mail, my bills still get sent to my parents' address in North Carolina.

3 out of 5 bars, but when a call is connected, the other party can't friggin hear me! it's maddening!

Cingular wireless does not work underground in the Metro.

Cingular is terrible in DC. I drop calls all the time and the signal inside buildings almost non-existing - I'm changing to Verizon when my plan is done in July (YEAH I CAN'T WAIT) By the way Motorola is also been a terrible experience. Either Cingular or the phone drops calls all the time - about 15 to 20 minutes into a conversation!
