No signal indoors, even standing outside maybe only 1-2 bars, usually drops calls. Had At&T before, now T-mobile, same problem. Probably due to geography / lack of towers nearby.

I never have any problems in my house or in the area

No reception in and around the buildings of Skyline.

Trying out Sprint due to employee discounts and 7pm anytime minutes. Verizon which I'm satisfied with won't give me discounts similar to Sprint. I have yet to contact VZW's cancellation dept. to negotiate discounts although the stonewalled me back a year ago (2005) when I said I was leaving and offered me nothing. VZW knows they have the market share in the DC Metro area. :( I've had Sprint since 11 / 9 / 06 and am debating whether to continue using Verizon. Sprint does not work well in buildings as other posters have said. I dropped calls constantly while walking in the Ballston Mall. Ironically, my phone had no service while I was outside the Sprint company store! Drops calls have occurred while driving through neighborhoods between major access roads despite showing 5 bars in Arlington 22201 zip. Problem may be LG phone although I doubt it. Reception in my all brick townhouse is ok, but callers complain of static on my end. Reception is strongest on side facing north - probably where the tower is located in the Seven Corners intersection area. So if the people I'm talking to can bear with the dropped calls and static, I may stick with Sprint since it saves me money. I am single and don't have a wife to report to. If that were the case, I would definitely stick with Verizon. Of course, if I moved, then I would reconsider whether Sprint would be my carrier. Bottomline: the jury is still out

Poor to no reception in this area.

On a good day, reception is barely good for 30 seconds or so until the conversation is either dropped or I'm talking to myself.

Dropped calls and no service throughout Great Falls St. / Kirby Rd / Idylwood Rd. / West Falls Church Metro Area. Spotty service at best, often no service from Rt. 7 and Idylwood Rd to Mclean. We have tried Sprint, T-Mobile, and after being told Verizon gets the best coverage everywhere, now Verizon. If we are standing in the back portion of the backyard service sometimes works. Also in the corner of an upstairs bedroom, near a window service SOMETIMES works. On the rare occasion we can find a place in or near home to use our phone, the call is almost always dropped and service is no longer available at that time. We have called Verizon and are nicely told, we live in a dead area and they don't know what can be done about it. We find it curious they did not know we lived in a dead area when we were searching for a new service. They do continue to drop us a bill every month.

Absolutely NO reception in the apartment, 1 - 2 bars outside. If someone manages to reach me by chance, the reception is so bad that I have to call back via Vonage. T-Mobile reception in CA with the same phone(s) was flawless, we recently moved to VA. Using a Motorola for the second phone, same problem, works only in DC.

Some parts of the apartment building where I live, I get 3 bars of reception where in other parts and in the garage, I get 0-1 bars of reception. I had Verizon before, and it was much better! I switched for the phone. Will switch back ASAP.

2-3 bars outside, 1-2 bars outside, no reception in basement
