AT&T 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: Samsung SGH-X427	Briggs Chaney Rd. / Rt 29, Silver Spring, MD 20904	Sat Apr 24, 2004
AT&T 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: Samsung SGH-X427	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.

AT&T 1 Out of 5	Briggs Chaney Rd at Rt 29 / Briggs Chaney West to New Hampshire Ave., Silver Spring, MD 20904	Mon Feb 23, 2004
AT&T 1 Out of 5	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.
