Verizon 1 Out of 5	Leisure World Bldv, Silver Spring, MD 20906	Thu Jan 07, 2010
Verizon 1 Out of 5	Even sitting by window, cell service is spotty inside, outside is decent.

Verizon 2 Out of 5	1220 East West Hwy., Silver Spring, MD 20910	Fri Sep 11, 2009
Verizon 2 Out of 5	Calls dropped intermittently - not sure if it is the new building that blocked it..

Verizon 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: treo 650	Countryside / Nees, Silver Spring, MD 20905	Fri Jun 12, 2009
Verizon 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: treo 650	People ask how many bars do you have? I have a dot. Reception inside is frustrating, outside is iffy.

Verizon 2 Out of 5 Phone Model: Samsung A930	Georgia Ave. / Bel Pre, Silver Spring, MD 20906	Sat Jun 06, 2009
Verizon 2 Out of 5 Phone Model: Samsung A930	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.

Verizon 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: Blackberry Curve	Blair Mill and East West Hwy. / 16th St., Silver Spring, MD 20910	Wed May 27, 2009
Verizon 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: Blackberry Curve	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.

AT&T 5 Out of 5 Phone Model: Cingular SYNC (Samsung SGH-A707)	New Hampshire Ave. / Adelphi Rd., Silver Spring, MD 20903	Wed Dec 03, 2008
	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

T-Mobile 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: Blackberry Pearl	Connecticut and Weller / Jeffrey and Atherton, Silver Spring, MD 20906	Tue Oct 21, 2008
T-Mobile 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: Blackberry Pearl	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.

AT&T 2 Out of 5	Beach St. / Wexford St., Silver Spring, MD 20906	Sun Aug 17, 2008
AT&T 2 Out of 5	I do not get very good signal here.

Verizon 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: LG env2	Sligo Ave. / Piney Branch Rd., Silver Spring, MD 20910	Mon Jul 14, 2008
Verizon 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: LG env2	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.
