T-Mobile 4 Out of 5 Phone Model: Nokia E90 Communicator	26 / 32, Sykesville, MD 21784	Wed Oct 08, 2008
	Great coverage from T-Mobile in the eldersburg area except for when I get out near marriotsville, becauase the land is high and low.

AT&T 4 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola V551	Liberty Reservoir / 26 and 32,Oklahoma Road, Erin Rd., Sykesville, MD 21784	Fri Jun 10, 2005
AT&T 4 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola V551	I used to have Nextel I paid them a buch of money every month for 5 years for basically nothing. I have been with Cingular for a little over a year now. I live right off of the watershed, Liberty Reservoir and the forest that surrounds it are in my backyard. to add insult to injury I live at the bottom of a valley. Basically my house is a black-hole when it comes to cell phone service. Throughout the years no cellular service's towers have been able to produce a signal at my house, except for Cingular. I was going to make the switch for that reason alone. And Like everyone has stated before, Cingular gets excellent reception at The Home Depot here in Eldersburg. I am a former employee of that store and the fact that Cingular's reception was so good there as well I knew that my search for the "Best Mobile Service in Eldersburg" was over! So if you live on or near the watershed and spend lots of time in The Home Depot or Eldersburg for that matter Cingular is the Cellular Service for you!

T-Mobile 4 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola V300	97 and 26, Sykesville, MD 21784	Thu Mar 24, 2005
T-Mobile 4 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola V300	Heard many rumors on this provider yet my experience over a period of 2 months now has been excellent! I have reception everywhere from home in Sykesville MD to work in Catonsville and everywhere in between down I-70. They're the first to put a tower up for Main St.in Sykesville too as there's no reception from ANY provider down there really strong or if at all. T-Mobile is full power there now.

AT&T 4 Out of 5 Phone Model: Nokia 6130	MD 26 / Oklahoma Rd., Sykesville, MD 21784	Wed Mar 02, 2005
AT&T 4 Out of 5 Phone Model: Nokia 6130	Reception is good outside and in the house. Some drop off in stores especially Home Depot - Eldersburg where phone is unusable.

AT&T 4 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola RAZR V3	Inside Home Depot in Eldersburg (26 & 32), Sykesville, MD 21784	Thu Dec 30, 2004
AT&T 4 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola RAZR V3	Boy did I get a surprise today! I was able to walk around inside the Home Depot in Eldersburg and maintain a signal of 3-4 bars on my Cingular phone with great voice clarity and no dropouts. I'm certainly glad I dropped Verizon for Cingular. My Verizon phone (LG VX6000) and all my prior phones on Verizon had no service at all inside the store: you had to walk outside into their garden section to get maybe 1-2 bars with voice dropouts! Cingular service all around the Eldersburg area is near perfect!

Nextel 2 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola i860	Piney Ridge Dr., Sykesville, MD 21784	Sun May 14, 2006
Nextel 2 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola i860	Reception from Fort Meade to Sykesville is OK until I get to Piney Ridge Dr.(almost home). Then it suddenly drops out. I get no reception inside my house, unless I stand in the kitchen and try to face north (strange, I know). Then I can get two bars, and if I'm lucky, I might see a third bar appear from time to time. I can't really depend on my cell phone service out here, which is why I keep my landline. Oh, and I have ZERO reception inside most stores in Eldersburg. NONE.

Verizon 2 Out of 5 Phone Model: LG VX3200	Ryon Ct. / Karen Dr., Sykesville, MD 21784	Mon Jul 25, 2005

AT&T 2 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola RAZR V3	Liberty Reservoir, Sykesville, MD 21784	Mon Dec 27, 2004
AT&T 2 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola RAZR V3	Having been with Verizon for years, I just switched to Cingular. At least at or near my house and around the Liberty Reservoir area in Eldersburg / Sykesville, Cingular is giving me a much better signal with no dropouts. Verizon is terrible in this area.
