Terrible Coverage. I switched from AT&T to Verizon and learned to regret it. My apartment gets absolutely no reception. Also, in order to get a new phone one needs to commit to Verizon and the phone you buy for two years (unless you want to buy another phone at full price)... .this phone's quality etc progressively deteriorates with time and so does the service. Reception is extremely variable, and my default is to assume a bad connection rather than a good one.

Before this merger, I would always get great reception in my apartment, which has a balcony. After this merger and the conversion of these towers, my reception is spotty to non existant. The phone often switches to ROAM while I'm sitting in the apartment. I have to go outside to make a call on my cell phone. I've also experienced sporadic reception at various other parts of the city.

When I had AT&T and my v600 I usually got full bars in my house. I recently switched completely to Cingular and I have a v551 now, I get no more than 3 bars on the top floor of my house. With At&t, in my basement... full bars, now I get nothing.

I think that the Potomac Garden housing project blocks reception from many areas around it. Big brick buildings obstruct the signal. Yes, I found the dead zone for Verizon in DC. Other than this, Verizon is great.

My Sprint connection is OK here, but I sometimes get dropped calls depending on where I'm standing in my house. Verizon gets substantially better reception while ATT has terrible reception (if any at all).

Phone will display full signal. However, the majority of the time when you dial a number, it will drop to 1 bar or zero. The call quality is very poor and fluctuates.

Always, always, always! I can count on my calls being dropped if I'm on I-66 (westbound) around the Glebe Road exit. Another spot is in Greenbelt, MD near NASA Goddard.

It used to be real great in my area. Before I had AT&T and they sucked in my area, so i switched to T-mobile. Recently in the past few months my reception has been horrible, i've called t-mobile about it many times, but they havent seemed to done anything about it.

Terrible. Sprint doesn't work at work or at home. It's absolutely inoperable when underground in the Metro. I canceled my service last month.

Usually good, howevver, my cell connection with Sterling, VA - where my parents are in an elderly care residence = is horrid. When I call there from downtown, it's fine. From here, it's a loss. Have to get the lan line I cancelled years ago.
