I've lived in a top-floor and a bottom-floor apartment in this area. Reception on the top floor is perfect; on the bottom floor was marginal. On the bottom floor, and in the basement of my current apartment, calls would simply drop if I went into the hallway. I've never had a problem with reception outside, however.

Been with Sprint for 5 years -- never experience dropped calls. Reception is so-so in some areas but I can always get through. Phone has terrible sound -- used to think it was the reception but come to find out, it's my phone. I wish you test out phone sound before you buy.

I am a former AT&T customer who was switched to Cingular when the companies joined. Previously, I was very happy with reception in and around my house and around the area (4 or 5 bars almost all the time - even walking along the edge of Rock Creek Park) -- until Cingular began its "fewest dropped calls" ad. Ever since then, we've had very frequent dropped calls and MANY one-way calls (where EITHER we can hear the caller OR the caller can hear us!) Don't know what the problem is, but we are becoming very frustrated. Perhaps a tower has been removed.

I am using Sprint phone for the last 4 years and live by Leasure World. Very sad when a company promises to put tower and never does. Reception is always poor.

Leisure World, Silver Spring, MD 20906 Sun Aug 20, 2006

We moved into Leisure World with Sprint service and found we generally have 1 bar of reception. My plan is old, phone broke, so we went to Simply Wireless in Wheaton Plaza and they helped us locate a provider with better reception from our home, which is where we mostly use the phone. Despite the coverage map we were shown, T-Mobile has fully 5 bars in our location. Great!

Just switched from my AT&T phone to Cingular, which they promised would improve reception and call quality. Nope--there are still nany dead spots in my house; I often can hear the caller, but they can't hear me. Going into the front yard is my only option--the backyard reception is awful too.

Since July 20, 2006, NO coverage on my side of the street (parallel to Sligo Creek). Prior to that (since I moved here 2003), strong coverage. Multiple calls for network investigation -- nada. Cingular sux.

I like Sprint PCS reception, but not in my neighborhood. The reception is very poor. My wife still persists with Sprint, but I switched to Cingular which has good reception in that neighborhood. If Sprint builds tower in my area, there are a number of people who will switch to it.

Obviously, Nextel knows that it is a dying company. Very poor reception, messages show up after days and truly such an useless cell phone system.
