I had absolutely no service in my apartment. I had to stand outside to make any calls.

3rd floor apartment facing [west] Sears and Best Buy

With 2 Sprint stores within 5 minutes distance, I can't, for the life of me, understand why I get horrible reception. Text msgs. seem to be ok, at times, but actual phone serve is awful.

Used to get up to 3 bars on the inside. None now and must go outside to get 1 bar. Something hase changed recently. Maybe month or more ago.

Bad reception and calls are lost. I have to leave the area and drive well out of neighborhood to get good reception.

Verizon has awful coverage in the Bowie Town Center. I would like to think I'm pretty educated. I'm not some moron that is ranting about no coverage only to have a TDMA phone. But I walk down the main strip of the Town Center and my coverage will fluctuate. When I'm near Verizon's store I get a decent signal. One store away though... one or two bars at best. I've seen Cingular's new commercials about the least dropped calls, and they are backing it with testing from Telephia. I am interested in trying them, even if I have to pay my termination fee. Consumer Reports trumpet Verizon but in the Bowie / Mitchellville area at least, they are way off base. And we are just outside of DC which is a major area. Don't believe the hype people, Verizon is nothing but a hype machine. I hope they hear me walking out of the door.

Phone works fine over here without any dropouts. Had the phone for six months so far! A record for me!

Verizon's coverage is fairly consistent in Bowie.

Phone breaks within 1 month, charger dies within 2 weeks. Service with phone is pathetic. All other nextels work fine here, just this one... so far... is bad

No reception at all... ..none! I hate t-mobile!
