i get crap reception almost everywhere, especially my house.

Sprint is garbage! I get no reception in my house. I go to the grocery store and I get no reception there. At school I get no service inside the building. If I'm standing outside away from buildings I'm still roaming. I have to go all the way to the parking lot to stop roaming. That's ridiculous.

Cingular works perfectly in my house. It always has five bars. Have no problems in other areas of Annandale, and works great in DC To be honest, all cell phones work great in the area. Also have a T-Mobile which works great. For Annandale HS, Cingular and Verizon work best, and T-Mobile has no service inside the school. Can't go wrong with any carrier in the DC area as all cell phone carriers try their best to have excellent service in this vital market

To have a good conversation, I need to stand very close to a window on one side of the house. On the other side, it's impossible.

I get no reception inside our house. I have called Cingular and found a general lack of interest. I can sometimes get weak reception in the front yard, but my usual approach is to get in my car and drive two miles to Twinbrook Shopping Center.

No reception inside house 1 block off Guinea, spotty reception outside

Clear reception almost anywhere. 2-3 bars in the basement of my house (enough to make and recieve calls), 4-5 bars almost anywhere outside. 5 bars in almost all major areas, at least 3 in neighborhoods. Very few dropped calls.

very good reception compared to my tmobile, working in elevator and hallways too. Even works in my office in downtown DC near white house.

on average get ok reception. There are quite of few spots along Anndandale, Columbia Pike and Sleepy Hollow where reception fades out. Otherwise been content with it.

I have between 1 and 3 bars and most all calls are dropped at some point. My phone often does not ring at all - I just get voicemail that someone called me. After several conversations with Cingular they admit that this part of Annandale is between two towers. I was on the phone with customer service trying to disconnect my service when my call was dropped. SHEESH. I can't even get rid of them! I'm wondering if Verizon would be any better here? Any word on that???
