I recently purchased an iPad2, and use AT&T, for data only. In the past couple months since getting it, I've had great service everywhere I've been.

I always have service in manassas, barley a time when I dont

Great service but only with a quad band phone Cingular service here utlizes the 850 frequency so most tri band phones. Almost all tri band phones don't utilize the 850 band freq. I get okay service with tri band phones 1 bar in doors and 3 outside.

At GMU Prince William campus I get no reception in any of the buildings unless I come to the very windows. Also, reception is spotty on the parking lot with only one bar :(

cell reception comes and goes. wavers beteween 2-4 bars while in my outside& outside in the yard

My wife had a flat tire on Newman Road, and her calls for help went through but were impossible to understand. A man nearby let her use his Sprint phone which had full signal strength. We are switching.

Very spotty reception in this area of Manassas, especially indoors. Also can confirm poor or no reception along Rt. 28 between Chantilly and Centreville. It happened with my old Nokia 6310i as well.

Inside the house-forget it!nice that i have free weekends because I CAN"T USE THEM INDOORS. On route 28 and rural roads-i pray that i will not get stuck. often i must dial a number several times before i get through. my father has verizon and it works great inside of my house- i am switching.

Very poor reception from Fairfax County Parkway at Lee Chapel Rd thru Clifton to Manassas VA.

The stretch between the PW PKWY and Rt 66 I always loose my call it just dies. Also most of linton hall rd in gainsville bristow area signal sucks or there is none! but usaully every where else its pretty good.

On Linton Hall Rd about a mile from Nokesville Rd the signal is poor to non-existent.

I've had Sprint since moving to the DC area in 1998, and have always had good service at home in Manassas, all around the metro area, and on the Interstates. Signal is hit or miss in the Metro, but usually works in bigger stations. Covage is weak in outlying rural areas where some of my friends live, like between Manassas and Warrenton, but unless you go well off the beaten path, service is great. 3G works well everywhere I've been, but 4G is rare or weak.

Between zero and one bar - difference of inches -- inside or outside -- horrible!

My service is generally decent except for in my home. I have little to no understanding due to the fact that I live on the 3rd floor in an apartment building. My husbands phone is excellent (Samsung A660).

Good to Perfect in the Centreville and Manassas areas

Sprint PCS was the answer to poor Manassas area reception. With antenna raised, I get excellent reception throughout Clifton. With it down, I still get calls, even inside my house. On roaming, I have seamless coverage everywhere, but it really isn't necessary. I think the key is a well designed phone for PCS. The Samsung is put together well, and seems to perform.

Tmobile reception in this area is poor at best. The closest tower from the area I listed is at 234 and the parkway. Heading east on the parkway it's not untill you get down across the bridge that the Davis Ford Rd. tower kicks in for a brief stretch. Reception in manassas is ok, but spotty due to lack of towers. mall reception improved. reception in clifton is amazingly impressive where as 66 coverage is spotty. Unless you have a specific reason for getting TMobile, do yourself a favor and don't.

ranges usually between 2-6 bars but as long as I have service sound is crystal clear

phone doesn't get much reception along this area

I routinely lose connectivity from Braddock Rd.and Colchester Rd.through Clifton to Prince William. Suprisingly, it works well on Kincheloe on the other side of the ridge. It also failed in Herndon on Birdfoot / Lawyers frequently.
