Virgin Mobile 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: Audiovox CDM-8610	Eliots Oak Rd. / Centennial Ln., Columbia, MD 21044	Thu Oct 14, 2004
	When traveling around the Columbia / Ellicott City / Clarksville area, I found that Virgin Mobile (Sprint) coverage is terrible. I'm not talking, 1 bar, I'm talking nothing. In village centers, at schools, there is signal, but nowhere in between. Sprint generally gets good service (because you have a tri-band phone and can roam to Verizon's network). Virgin Mobile only uses Sprint's digital network and does not get great signal in my area. In terms of the Eliots Oak Rd. issue, this seems to be a problem with all carriers. A dead spot. I currently use Nextel, and I get 0-2 bars. My friends use different carriers. AT&T gets 0-1, Cingular gets 1, Verizon gets 1, T-Mobile gets 0-1. Annoying living here and getting a phone call. Virgin Mobile (Sprint) is by far the worst though.

Verizon 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: LG VX4400	Hesperus Dr. / Iron Pen Place, Columbia, MD 21044	Fri Oct 08, 2004
Verizon 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: LG VX4400	Very poor service near my house. Service OK in most of Columiba (but none inside supermarkets?) Even worse with AT&T, so Verizon is a little better.

T-Mobile 3 Out of 5 Phone Model: Sony Ericsson T610	King's Contrivance, Columbia, MD 21046	Wed Nov 12, 2003
T-Mobile 3 Out of 5 Phone Model: Sony Ericsson T610	Reception is worse in some areas than Verizon, but at least it works in my house! No complaints.
