I don't think I've ever had a problem with Sprint reception anywhere in Arlington County, excluding the Metro system (and down there, have usually been able to roam on VZW). Data always solid, too.

Great reception everywhere including the metro.

I've lived in Pentagon City for 2 years now and have never had a call drop on me inside my apt (2 story) or outside. Can't comment on a data plan because I don't have one

My Alltel service with Samsung u550 works perfect in Arlington and in my 3rd floor apartment. However, Alltel does not service this area. I bought a Verizon service plan with the LG Voyager phone and reception was terrible. After not having one successful call on the new phone with Verizon, I returned the phone, canceled the service plan and went back to the old phone with Alltel. I hope they don't get worse now that Verizon has bought Alltel.

I consistently have 5 bars of signal strength and have no problems making or receiving calls.

I always get 5 bars of signal strength. Calls are clear and I never have any dropped calls--even while inside a building.

Switched from the dead zones of Sprint. Great reception indoors or out.

Get excellent reception inside my apartment- The Windsor at Shirlington Village. Probably because building is wood. Used to live up the hill (Shirlington House) and got no reception because it was brick.

Never a dropped call on the network. I had Verizon before getting Cingular for the v3 and I think that their network is comparabe.

Great reception almost everywhere. Only issue is with voice mail access. When out of local area, the system will not allow me to access it. Very frustrating.
