Absolutely no reception from Kirby road after getting off Chain bridge Rd, reception picks up only when one gets on to Old Dominion Rd. Absolute dead space for about 1.5 miles right in the heart of the beltway

No T-Mobile reception at all on Rt. 123 from Langley up to Evans Farm. This is a constant source of frustration.

Pretty good coverage, AT&T just put up a new tower close by on rt. 7 which has brought much better signal to the area.

If you like the iphone and I love it then you have to put up with ATT. The reception is just plain awful north of tollroad outside beltway (odd as you would think that would be a target rich client base but I guess antenna's are fought hard). It is virtually impossible to have a conversation longer than 3 minutes (if at all) in this area. Had frequent problems in Tysons? and Tollroad near Wolftrap. The ONLY solution I have come up with: Keep the iphone for all the great non-phone features but buy a cheap Verizon phone for phone calls. I keep Verizon phone connected to bluetooth to the cars I drive. If you have to you can forward the calls from your Apple to Verizon number.

4 Bars out of 5 when I'm in my driveway. As soon as I enter my house its 2 - 1 or none Weak service area with lots of gaps in it. As soon as you get to i495 full service.

Cingular sucks in this area even though the tower is right down the road. Friends with Verizon can get about 2 bars sometimes. Sprint gets about 1-2 bars depending where. Cingular is just terrible at reception and customer service.

This is a TDMA phone - called #77 (non-emergency police) with no problem to report an accident. Tried calling work to say I would be late, got fast busy. It appears Cingular / ATT is quietly phasing out TDMA service (makes sense to phase it out, kinda bogus not to inform cusotmers of that).

Get 2 to 4 bars of reception on the phone in office, however the calls consistently drop. Not a good option for a business phone.
