There is no reception at all. I live at the Manor apartments at georgia avenue and bel pre road. Its annoying. We have to step outside to talk and dont know how I am gonna handle in winter.

Its really odd how I get no reception around my block but have no real issues anywhere else. Thank goodness for wifi calling if not I'd be screwed.

Despite 3 bars present, I couldn't call, just sent messages. Neither could I phone of my boss

Varies between poor and terrible. Dropped calls are very frequent; frequently either I or the person I'm talking to gets feedback like microphone gain on the line. More than once I've had another conversation faintly audible in the background.

Drops out completely at times - won't send or receive messages and won't send or receive calls.

Poor outdoor reception and no reception indoor even at the top floor.

Reception is flakey at best in Four Corners. Much better when you get a mile out in any direction.

This problem started June 9th 2010-- after 7pm I cannot get reception or service at all until around 7am or 8am the next day. The phone type I have is a 3G mirror phone I live in Silver Spring 20901 area. Is anyone else having this propblem.

inside of house, lucky to get 1 bar, standing by window 1-2 bars, outside possibly 3 bars.

Even sitting by window, cell service is spotty inside, outside is decent.

Calls dropped intermittently - not sure if it is the new building that blocked it..

People ask how many bars do you have? I have a dot. Reception inside is frustrating, outside is iffy.

We just moved to the area from NY, and since moving here, we've experienced more dropped calls than we have in the last 5 years. The Verizon rep tells me it's because of the storms, but we had plenty of storms in NY with no interference. We're looking for a new service, though it seems from the reviews that it's not a great area out here.

Averaging 3-4 drops per call. My Verizon Wireless card has the same problem. I have a huge window so I'm not sure what the problem is and Verizon has not responded to my email.

This is a bad area for cell phone use... While there are "5 bars" on the display, I get dropped calls all the time. Sometimes I will try and try for 20 minutes to make a call from my home upstairs, then go downstairs and have no problems at all. I use AT&T because its cheap. Also, I would NOT recommend the Samsung SGH-A707, IMO it is a crappy product. Thanks

I was looking at others' reviews, but this area is a cell phone blackhole, dropping calls and barely resting at one bar at best. I have been in contact with T Mobile, who seem to be under the impression that there is "acceptable" reception in spite of the facts.

I do not get very good signal here.

No service at all in my apartment building. There are 5 floors and I live on the third. I have dropped calls constantly and call quality / reception is below poor. Think twice about Verizon. I think people go with them because of name recognition but the service truly is lousy.

Great coverage indoors too - no problems at all. Unfortunately I just cancelled insurance coverage on my Sprint phone and lost it - so now must deal with possibly switching carriers - as I prefer a prepaid plan.

better than it used to be - fewer dropped calls in the past several months
