One bar or less on my street, porch and inside house. Improves dramatically once I hit Rolling Road. No problems in Catonsville, Arbutus or Ellicott City otherwise...

I never got good reception in our apartments. My first cell phone was no reception at all. next cell phone was a little better. my current sony 810i is the best one yet (still not that great in my apartment though). I always had to goto right near a window to have a chance at a good signal. outside is fantastic though 4-5 bars right outside my building.

I constantly have dropped calls on Frederick Rd.between Dimitri's and the library. On North Rolling Rd.between Candlelight Inn and Route 40. On Maiden Choice Lane. On Devere. And sporadically at my house. I'll be sitting at a traffic light and not moving and my call will drop. Catonsville has horrible service with AT&T

Had Sprint in 2000 when I first moved here. Switched to Verizon and now get 4 to 5 bars daily. Ever new phone purchase the bars get higher.

Phone reports "No Service", unless I move towards Frederick Rd.on Newburg Ave, then start to get useful reception.

Scince Sprint took over Nextel, I can't get a signal anywhere in Catonsville. Frederick Rd, Edmonson Ave, Rt 40 and all roads in between are a "no signal" zone

Catonsville has terrible reception! It is rare that I can make a phone call, and when I am able to I get cut off within five minutes of the conversation because the reception completely drops off. I've also noticed that there is zero reception along stretches of I-695, especially when you near the I-795 connector.

I am still waiting to get reception in my house. Or reliable reception anywhere in Catonsville. Reception is pretty much awful to non-existant everywhere in 21228. Especially bad at Catonsville High School, UMBC, CCBC and thje Frederick Rd corridor.

Frederick Rd.between the two Rolling Roads has terrible reception. It seems to be that way with any carrier although some have better moments than others but none are consistent with having coverage they can count on. We need a tower desperately.

I've been using Verizon EVDO Service for about a year now, its like having DSL where ever I go. The download speeds are fantastic, it really does make your office mobile. The signal in and around the city is awesome. Keep up the good work Verizon.

No reception at all. I may as well not even have a cell phone, as it NEVER works. I've also tried Nextel, AT&T and Sprint PCS with the same results. We need another tower here! It's not like I'm living in the middle of nowhere. I live in a suburb of Baltimore, just a few miles from the city line. This is totally unacceptable. I would change carriers, but I can't find one that is any better. Based on the reviews on this site, it looks like everyone else is having the same problem, regardless of who their carrier is.

I get no reception in my house. Outside is much better. The reception is 2 or 3 bars at best, outside. 1 to zero inside.

I switched from Verizon to ATT because of corporate discounts. I have to say, it was one of the worst moves I have ever made. I get absolutely no service what so ever. I am seriously considering just paying the termination fee and run as fast as possible away from ATT. In fact now that they've merged with Cingular, I am even more wary of their service. I have never heard good things about Cingular. Godspeed to anyone in my situation

I live in Catonsville and have traveled the area and I have great reception with my verizon plan. Usually full range on the bars, it goes down to 3 or 4 at times but doesn't interfere with my reception. The only place I have a problem is the Columbia area at the Giant on Hickory Ridge, I get no service at all. I have tried Cingular as well... Which I still have and plan to keep until I can see how the service will be after AT&T and Cingular merge. Otherwise I am very pleased with Verizon and medico with Cingular but hopefully that will get better soon. We'll see!

One bar rarely appears.

One bar drops in and out. Very poor reception less than a mile outside the Baltimore beltway.
