Calls continually drop and the bars will show 2 or 3 when I make the call and will drop a minute into them. I am sitting right by my window in the top floor of my apartment complex, and the service is inconsistent with bad call quality. When will Sprint figure this out and fix it???

Just moved to SE from Alexandria VA and I ALWAYS loose reception coming down the hill of Good Hope Rd. (from the Alabama Ave. side). I also get poor reception in my home and have experienced dropped calls. I've had VZW for over 5 years now and have never experienced this.

Live in the Woodner building with a large window facing a 3 walled courtyard that opens up into Rock Creek Park. Can't even hold a call with my face to the glass. I have found one 2 ft. radius when I have between 1 and 2 bars within my apartment. Other than that, my battery gets eaten up and I don't receive calls or texts in my home. Sucks. I'm in yuppieville in a major city, not living in a basement or something, and can't hold a phone call in my home. Verizon iPhone, you win.

On the 4th floor of this old building I get anywhere between 2 and 5 bars on AT&T's 3G network. Calls do get dropped with some regularity, and some don't go through when I dial. Calls coming in sometimes go straight to voicemail even though I supposedly have reception. And as many others have reported, calls routinely get dropped all around the DC area, including driving on the Beltway. Mind boggling for the nation's capital. If I try to check email or go online, especially during working hours, I often get no actual Internet service regardless of how many bars I have, leaving my apps to just spin and spin while they try to connect. I pay for Internet tethering and it's almost useless here. If I turn the 3G network off the extended ("E") network kicks in and I get 5 bars consistently. At that point I can get Internet services, but it C-R-A-W-L-S. Verizon's service was SO MUCH BETTER. Wishing I hadn't just bought my iPhone three weeks before Verizon announced they would start offering iPhone services...

I live on the second floor in the Senate Square apartments (lexington building) Only get reception when standing next to windows. Got the mini-cell and it is better but still lacking.

Horrible ATT signal, tried with many phones, it doesn't matter the signal is horrible, it drop drops and drops. So just drop ATT phones in GLover park. No Action from ATT for over 2 years.

Horrible service drops calls regularly all over DC

I work in Foggy Bottom and have found very good reception in DC. I regularly have 4-5 bars and my data service runs at full 3G speed. The only exception is the Metro, where calls drop in the tunnels and data service often falls back to RTT.

1 to 2 bars, have to go outside, or stand in the bathroom window behind the satellite dish to get reception to talk on the phone.

Just spent 2 hours on the phone with Verizon and Capitol Hill has been designated a Verizon KTA area, which means they know reception is poor, but can't or won't do anything about it. Voice reception is bad, esp. on the other end of calls. Their only suggestion is to buy the Verizon $199 network extender to work with YOUR broadband Internet service or return the phones for a credit. They will offer you a 50% discount on the network extender. Hope is works! The Droid Incredible is a cool phone with tons of features, but if you can't use it reliably for voice communications in your own neighborhood, it may not worth the money.

I live on the 6th floor and have terrible reception. I am constantly dropping calls and have to sit at the window to carry on any type of conversation. I feel we all pay too much to have the terrible reception we are all expected to endure.

Get zero data reception inside and outside the building - occasionally can roam around different parts of the building or different areas outside the building and get lucky. Forget getting emails or using any apps that require 3G data. Phone calls are a joke - you dial a # and wait for a minute for it to connect, then when you finally do, the call drops within the first 10 minutes 9 times out of ten. If and when Verizon, my old carrier, ever comes out with an iPhone, I will terminate my contract with AT&T immediately.

It is so frustrating to have to go outside to make a phone call. Switched to Verizon when they were the only ones that worked on the metro. Sprint worked better in my home.

I barely get reception in the downstairs of my townhouse and not at all in the front room. The upstairs is better, but I frequently have calls dropped.

Sprint's coverage is horrible. I drop calls, data is slow, and I cant' hear anyone! This phone is going back and I am getting Verizon. I heard they are great here. Coming from AT&T, I will be VERY happy!

AT&T is lucky they had the iphone for so long. I am switching the first chance I can to either Sprint or Verizon. Never thought I would change, but 3G service is so unreliable that it has become a liability to have my phone due to dropped calls and no calls coming in. Terrible, do not get AT&T if you are looking for new service

I have Verizon. The only place I don't get reception is in the tunnels of the Metro (the stations are fine) and at some bigger stores, such as Target. I live in Fairfax County and work in NW DC. Too bad Verizon doesn't believe in selling cutting edge phones.

Terrible-none in my house.

Reception is awful. Sometimes it works. Often I am bounced off the 3G network. Sometimes I show 5 bars and still have dropped calls, especially in high traffic times. Having dropped calls is the norm, not the exception. The mapping function on the iPhone - which runs through AT&T towers - shows me at the correct address 50% of the time, shows me a couple of miles away on Capitol Hill 30% of the time, and 20% of the time it "thinks" that I am at the District boundary on Southern Avenue, Southeast which is miles away!

I have used AT&T G-3 wireless network in out of the way places like Cheraw, SC with perfect coverage. It is ideal for the traveling business man or tourist.
