1 bar indoors, dropped calls even when sitting by window. Switching back to AT&T, who has great reception!

have to go outside on the deck to get ANY type of service. supposedly a new tower is going up at the golf course here soon.

Works great... except in the basement of my house. can send and recieve texts but calls are spotty. As for the throughout the neighborhood, never had a problem and glad I switched a few years back.

Absolutely no reception in the basement and very poor reception in the rest of the house. Usually only 1 bar if I am lucky.

Can get no service in or outside of my townhouse. using this website I see Cingular has 4 antennas very close to my house I will be switching. My sister has Sprint and has the same problems

It is so bad I am switched to SPRINT and I now have no problems... Nextel is terrible in the Metro DC area...

0-1 bars on my street. Reception goes to 4 bars on Rt 28 and stays good into Reston, but this neighborhood is very hard on Nextel. Since the Sprint merger I get about 3x as many dropped calls when I can get a signal at all.

I used to love Cingular so I gladly upgraded my older phone to the new GSM phone about a year ago. The call quality has improved but I drop one out of three calls I make on it and coverage is spotty, it will show that you have 4 bars in an area, but as soon as you try to make a call it drops to 2 bars. In my opinion the problem is GSM. If you have an old clunky phone but get good reception, KEEP IT.

Have 3+ bars in this general area. In my own basement even have good reception.

Even in my townhouse basement I get 3 bars usually. Outside it's a solid 4.
