I live about 1 / 2 mile from the intersection in Boston Ridge. Outdoor reception is ok to excellent. Indoor reception is sometimes 3-4 bars out of 5 and other times 2 bars and calls dropped. Zero bars in the basement (walk out).

Extremely poor reception with almost 100% of calls being dropped within a very short period of time (less than 30 seconds). Cingular sent out a new phone, but this did not help. They've switched out the SIM chip and "reprogrammed" the phone on their end. They suggested that I power down the phone once a day for 30 seconds. This did not work. I've stepped down to a plan with fewer minutes, but I've still managed to build up thousands of rollover minutes because I don't use the phone anymore. It is totally useless (and so are all those rollover minutes). Cingular's last suggestion was for me to trade up to a different phone, but this would require me to extend my contract to two years. I absolutely refuse to give the company any more money on blind faith.

In my house, the dropped are calls increasing. Voice quality poor. Sometimes "No Service". I never had this problem with AT&T. I get no satisfaction from Cingular Customer Service.

I've never dropped a call or had a problem with reception other than while driving close to the CIA center in Langley. AT&T does well in downtown DC and most surrounding areas. There are a few week cell towers namely around Fort Bellvoir and the Metro. Customer Service is good, though I have had a few billing problems. For my first few months on my plan, no night or weekend minutes were counted as such, and they were deducted from my weekday minutes. Customer service has taken care of this well and offered credit for the inconvience. I've had my phone for 3 months and have yet to pay a bill.

We live in the Brass Lantern Cluster and often need to go outside to use AT&T Wireless - sometimes no signal at all. Same problem with TDMA phone. No reception in Giant Foods at N. Village. Otherwise, OK in Reston, Herndon, and Dulles.

On Jan 27, 2007 I had posted the Sony Ericsson z520a review (1 out of 5)... Since my company switched me to Sprint (which has major offices about a mile away from my intersection) my cell phone reception has been 100% amazing -- even all across the the entire Reston, Fairfax, and WashingtonDC / Virginia / Maryland area... Good work, cellular provider Spr1nt!
