I have 2 dropped calls a day on my drive home. The first is on route 7 just west of where 7 intersects route 28. The other is on route 15 just north of Edwards ferry (near wal mart). I know that there are dead spots here because my calls or Bloomberg radio apps drop here every single day.

I have been an ATT user for years, however, in the last 5 months recpetion at my home is very bad. I put my phone in the diag mode and ATT cell site is reseting 5 to 10 times per after a crash. The signel strength is VERY bad.

This phone is great for everything except phone calls -- it is unusable at home, although I can text message. Reception is extremely poor, was much better with my old Samsung Eternity.

Used to have Verizon and very glad I switched to AT&T 3 yrs ago. Excellent service inside, outside, in basement. Always have 3-5 bars. And customer service rocks over Verizon... hands down!

The best is 3 bars, sometimes I nowconly have 1-2 bars. I used to get far better quality of reception and no trouble with dropped calls before switching from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4. With iPhone 4 I continually have poor connections, garbled voice, dropped calls. I'm convinced that the change in quality of reception has more to do with the problems of iPhone 4 antenna then it has to do with AT&T. I've liked AT&T service better than Verizon which I had previously; but I sure regret changing to iPhone 4. It should actually drop the "phone" part from its name because it does EVERYTHING BUT provide good phone service.

By the windows facing south I get very good coverage, but inside the house I usually get 1-2 bars and calls quality is bad and frequently dropped.

I used to have horrible horrible reception with an older Motorola V400 series. I recently witched to a newer Nokia N75. The clarity and reception has improved immensely. I often drive to Sterling and there are no dead spots anymore. I actually was very pessimistic about AT&T. Itis odd that the new phone made such a difference. A geek friend said it is in the newer improved SIM chips. Anyway..the voice is good, and Downlaods with MTSA GSM... while not HSPDA..is decent. I am not ecstatic about AT&T..but I am no longer as furious and angry either. YMMV

I often have two bars but incoming calls are usually dropped and outgoing calls are nearly impossible. My husband has an older phone and he gets better service than I do (AT&T Cingular also)

I get great Cingular GSM coverage throughout Leesburg and south to Chantilly and even out to Purcellville / Round Hill. I have never had a problem getting reception BUT, my wife has the same exact phone and carrier (and we are on the same family plan) and she cannot get coverage in River Creek at our house. I guess I got the Razr with the good antenna. I am going to try one of those boosters you stick on your battery and if that doesn't work I'm getting her another phone. I have found that the phone can make a big difference in getting reception.

It's a struggle to maintain a connection. Usually I have to go to my door.

Reception is very flaky. Most of the time 1 bar. I cannot make or receive calls unless I am at a certain window in the house and even then the call quality is usually very poor or gets disconnected often. Cingular is a good carrier, When I used them from my previous location in Ashburn (20147) I had no problem with reception at all.

Barely any reception around River Creek Area. On Rt. 7 and in town it varies
