AT&T 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: iPhone 3G	Chandler St. / Massachusetts Ave., Arlington, MA 02474	Sat Feb 19, 2011
AT&T 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: iPhone 3G	I get basically zero signal in my house. I just got two voice messages from 30 minutes ago and my phone has been on the whole time. My battery is usually dead when I wake up because of no reception all night, which kills the battery. Everybody tells me that when they call me they go straight to voicemail. This is intolerable - I'm switching to a different carrier.

T-Mobile 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: Google Nexus One	Park Ave. / Eastern Ave., Arlington, MA 02476	Sat Dec 11, 2010
T-Mobile 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: Google Nexus One	T-mobile is atrocious here. Most of the time I don't even have enough reception to get a text message. 3G reception is even worse. I'm always on Edge because my phone never finds 3G here in Arlington or where I work in Kendall Square. Unacceptable and I can't wait to switch.

Verizon 4 Out of 5 Phone Model: Blackberry Storm	West St. / Appleton St., Arlington, MA 02476	Tue Oct 05, 2010
Verizon 4 Out of 5 Phone Model: Blackberry Storm	Never had a problem with cell coverage in our neighborhood, which is admittedly at the top of a hill. Still, the only issues that I've ever had with my Verizon cell coverage is when driving through Belmont. I get dropped constantly along Clifton St. Annoying, but I've learned to live with it.

Sprint 4 Out of 5 Phone Model: Blackberry 9630	Works well in the car outside the house. Decent reception inside the closer you are to the street.

Verizon 1 Out of 5	Williams St., Arlington, MA 02476	Mon Oct 19, 2009

Nextel 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: i90	Rt. 2 / Lake St. To Mormon Church, Arlington, MA 02474	Fri May 20, 2005
Nextel 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: i90	Nextel is dead from Lake st. in Arlington to the crest of the hill on Rt. 2. I have found that if a call comes in and I am approaching this area I must stop to finish the call or lose it for sure. I have to hand in to Motorola though, they have made one hell of a rugged phone; it has survived countless impacts due to the frustration with Nextel's "service".

Verizon 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: Kyocera QCP-2135	Lake St., Arlington, MA 02474	Sat Dec 18, 2004
Verizon 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: Kyocera QCP-2135	As of spring '04 there was a dead spot in E. Arlington around the Route 2 Lake St. exit. Reception much better after going up the Rte. 2 hill to Arlington Heights. (Conditions may have improved since - check more recent reports.).

Verizon 3 Out of 5 Phone Model: Samsung SCH-A510	Cell phone has worked okay in Arlington. On longer calls, I've noticed some drops in service; but otherwise satisfactory.
