Everytime I drive from DC using 16th street into Maryland and am using the cell phone, it goes dead and takes at least 3 miles before I get a signal again. This ALWAYS occurs around Walter Reed, and not even really near the hospital. Nextel CSR's always say that I need to take my phone in to get it tested. Maybe they need to take their towers in to get THOSE tested.

SOS only in my house. Nice. Need to walk outside and up the street to get any reception at all.

Since AT&T merged with Cingular my reception has gone severly down hill. Every time I call someone they can't hear me even though I can hear them and I have to call a second time. The bars change so rapidly, I go from like 5 to 0 in with a few steps. I used to get great service in my house but now there are numerous dead spots where I lose service. I also get busy signals when I call the other phones on my family plan... cell phones aren't supposed to be busy, you should be routed to voicemail. When I complained to Cingular they said it was my phone and tried to convince me to buy a new one, but I think that is just a marketing ploy.

At the house, good reception inside (except basement), outside very strong signal. Previously used ATT TDMA, did not work well inside, had to go outside near the street to make a call.

Drops half my calls, usually when I'm first making or receiving. The phone always shows four or five bars, but as soon as I hit send it goes away. I tried the Samsung 650 trimode phone which was recommended by Verzon, but it made no difference. Same problems indoors and outdoors.

Good reception around my house. No reception in Rock Creek Park. Have lost calls in various places in and around the DC area with frustrating frequency. Voice mail notifications come sometimes days later. Won't work in many buildings. Rarely works below ground. Going back to Verizon soon.

From the reviews I've seen for Aspen Hill area, seems like many people have problem with their reception. Personally in my opinion, I've never complained with T-Mobile's reception in Aspen Hill area. It works just fine. I never had any dropped calls.

I moved from Sprint to T-Mobile because of their awesome plans. But my calls drop everywhere in my house, especially in the basement, and while driving everywhere. Sometimes when people call me from a landline they get a busy signal. But when people call me from a cell phone they get through to me. That is unless the call drops, horrible.

Trouble has only been within the last few months. Reception in this area has declined; once outside the immediate vicinity, reception is fine.

Almost no reception here at all. I have to be outside to even get a call through. Any rain or even high humidity makes it pretty unusable.

Very weak to no signal at all. Phone does not switch to the stronger Cingular signal. Seems like AT&T Wireless doesn't have a roaming agreement with Cingular in this area.

My phone drops calls or no reception. I have placed numerous calls to Cingular and they tell me my area is a low to medium reception area. I will likely end up having to switch to Verizon due to living and working in a Cingular Dead Zone.

an extensive "dead zone" for TDMA Cingular service, known to Cingular. It extends about 2 miles north on Rt 29 from Briggs Chaney road and about 2 miles west from Rt 29 on Briggs Chaney. Cingular "has no plans to do anything about it" as of 2/23/04
If you have the same problem, call them!! Enough calls may get some action.
