Most Frederick, Frederick, MD 21702 Wed Nov 11, 2009

I am on my phone all the time for work. Lose a few calls but overall I get pritty good coverage. Looking to change carriers mainly because of price of my phones. T-Mobile has a unlimited plan for 2 phones for 100.00 but need more info from T-Mobile customers first. I use about 3000 mins a month and it needs to work.

I have poor coverage in Frederick, MD... . as well as DC. Some places are great, other are horrible. I see people chatting or surfing in areas where I don't get coverage. I'm going to start asking them who their providers are. I came here looking for guidance, but all the info seems dated.

Rt. 40 West / Rt. 28, Frederick, MD 21702 Wed Sep 24, 2008

I drive back roads between Frederick and Rockville. There are several areas along the back roads (Route 85 and Route 28), where I would depend on reception the most in an emergency, but I lose connection with calls I'm on, or have no service at all in those areas. More aggrivating than that, is I told Verizon to take me off their email list for special offers because I was considering a new carrier for the next contract period -- all I got was "okay -- you are off our list". Nothing saying they will foward my concerns to customer service, just okay, you're off. I think that's terrible customer service and they obviously aren't concerned about losing long-standing clients.

7th St. / Fairview, Frederick, MD 21701 Fri May 02, 2008

I had Sprint in Chicago and moved to Frederick about 9 months ago. While I never had a problem in chicago, around here my signal strength varies wildly, even sitting still in my apartment in town. Calls frequently drop or sound garbled. I haven't encountered a "dead zone" with absolutely no service, but it is utterly unreliable. With my plan expiring this summer, I'm definitely in the market for a new carrier.

RTE 144 (E Patrick ST) / Pinecliff Dr., Frederick, MD 21704 Sun Jul 22, 2007

Terrible coverage in my home off Pinecliff Dr.near Spring Ridge - usually I only get 1-2 bars (although I sometimes get 5 bars for a hour or two). MANY dropped calls. I have complained to Verizon, but they insist coverage in my area is excellent. Now that my contract has finally expired, I will be switching carriers. Also get poor coverage along RTE 85 in the shopping areas, such as Home Depot, Target and FSK Mall.

Opossumtown Pike / Poole Jones Rd., Frederick, MD 21702 Thu Apr 26, 2007

My phone gyrates wildly between 5 bars and 1 bar inside and outside my house, even while I'm being still. The real average reception is 1 bar. Constant muffled and stuttered voice reception with predictable drops during the afternoons. Inside or outside the house, it doesn't matter. Even if I drive towards Hwy. 15 on Opossumtown Pike the situation is little better. In fact, reception remains muffled until I hit the Key Mall. From April 17th until April 21st, my cell phone service was totally unusable, even for retrieving voice mail, even though I had "3 bars". That's a shame since Cingular works so well in the Atlanta area. I guess you can't travel, have just one cell phone, and expect to have any reception.

Frequent signal drops and regularly less than one bar in the "high tech" corridor off of Rt. 85. Can you hear me now? NO !
