Terrible

Perfect reception outdoors and indoors.

Nextel is terrible and only getting worse. It is impossible to talk to anyone anywhere in the city without droping the call. Pityfull, absolutely pityfull.

I just switched from the SCH-A530 to the A670. My older phone overall had better reception, but the service is still great. I get a great signal throughout the city, and wherever I travel. I rarely have dropped calls. Also, when I'm in a city's subway system, including Baltimores, I always get a full signal. I think Verizon is still the only company that offers underground cell phone reception.

I always have a great signal no matter where I am in the city including the downtown area. I live in a high rise apartment building, and my reception is perfect in my apartment as well.

Outdoors in Mt. Vernon I get okay reception, but indoors (even in my 1st floor apartment) I often get very weak reception. This is especially true in bars (The Stable and Brewars Art) with basements. I normally would not expect my cell phone to work in these locations, but I get zero reception while my friends with Verizon get full bars! I would switch to Verizon but from what I have read they "cripple" some of the better phones they offer so you can only interact with them through Verizon services (eg, you cannot transfer images from your PC to your phone because Verizon disables the feature in the phone). I'm disappointed, is there no service with good reception and halfway decent phones?

Good reception anywhere in house even in basement. Almost never drops a call, calls always clear. This may be due to the phone since I also have a Motorola V180 which gets horrible reception usually 1-3 bars at most, and often drops calls (ofcourse the Mot V180 I got free from T-Mobile for signing up another year... anybody need a paperweight).

I usually have a really good signal most places I go or have been in the city. I've never been in a location where my phone just doesn't work. When I had T-Mobile, connectivity problems were a day-to-day basis.

Very nice reception in most of Mt. Vernon.

Great service! I always have service unlike my friends with Sprint and AT&T. Verizon really does have a reliable network! I had the iPhone and AT&T was horrible.

I used to have Verizon and always had at least four bars anywhere on the East Baltimore campus. I made the awful mistake of switching to Cingular at the recommendation of a friend, and have had numerous dropped calls and very poor reception all over Baltimore since then, but it's especially bad when I'm in the hospital. Also get very poor reception at the Hopkins Bayview campus. Am counting down the days till I make the switch back to Verizon.

Cingular seems to drop calls all over town, or diverts to voice mail without calling the phone.

I hate t(rash) mobile. Horrible coverage and dropped calls galor. I switched to AT&T and never had a problem with my wireless service again!

I have had AT&T for 5 years and travel all over the country on business. I have never had any problems with them. Great Coverage, voice quality, and data speeds. I love AT&T and will never switch.

I use a ATT Blackberry Bold and I just purchased a TMobile Cliq with there new unlimited everything plan for 79.99. I ready dont have complaints about either carrier. So I think I am going to switch over to T-Mobile and drop AT&T because you cant beat tmobiles prices.

within my home I get between 0-2 bars.

My phones always has a signal, accept for in school(obviously) I've never had a dropped call in or around Maryland. I'm very pleased.

I travel extensively to major cities and lesser areas around the country, T-Mobile service is poor to non-existant. They do not have customer service department but do have customer care. Unfortunately they don't care. I am leavinga after 3 years in spite of the time and money involved.

I have great reception with this phone and carrier. I used to own the Motorola MPX 220 and it had a difficult time holding reception inside my apartment. I've noticed that other people in this area are having a difficult time with reception. The culprit in this area is the terrain. It's a very hilly environment and that makes it worse for cells to maintain a good connection. My L7 can hold 3 bars of service inside my house, but that's if I don't move around a lot. However, I've never known another phone or service that could hold a reception inside my place like this phone. My roomate has a Motorola Razr with Verizon and he absolutely hates his service inside and outside our place. Needless to say, I'll be sticking with my phone and carrier as long as I live here.

Cingular always drops my calls near Exit 22 on the Baltimore beltway. Even with cell towers nearby and with a "strong signal" the calls will drop and I can't place a new call until I leave that area. Sometimes, after the call is dropped, I'll be able to redial. Happens all the time. It is surprizing how many dead zones Cingular has on the Baltimore beltway - it's hard to find a more significant road in the area. Take that as a warning to you - avoid Cingular!
