Horrible 3G coverage pretty much anywhere north of Baron Cameron. I constantly only have 1 bar at my house in North Reston. I was considering upgrading to a 4G phone but what's the point when I can barely get 3G.

I have one bar barely inside at present. It was better last week. Dropped calls today. I have a throw away Virgin Mobile that has 4 bars all the time inside. Verizon phone works well outside but inside lately it is a pain.

Very poor reception in the house. A lot of dropped calls and missed calls. Slightly better standing by the door, but still lose a lot of calls even when walking outside. Probably will be switching to Verizon; it's useless here.

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!

Inside our townhouse we get 1-2 bars, always dropped calls. Less than 1 / 4 mile away, perfect reception. A New Cingular tower is less than 0.5 mile away. The dead zone may be due to factors other than carrier.

We usually get 1 bar inside and have to go to the south facing window to get better (maybe 2 bars) reception. I've had instances where the signal drops to zero on Colts Neck at the dip in the road just before the entrance to the RCC at Hunters Woods Plaza. Many dropped calls on a daily commute on the beltway and the daily dropped call westbound on the toll road by Wolf Trap. Thinking of switching to Verizon.

We have a first floor unit in a brick and steel 4-story condo. Almost no reception in the middle of the unit, some reception close to the windows. 5 bars outside of the unit. This has been the same from back when it was Cingular Blue.

Horrible reception inside home, fair outside reception (back porch or front door). Calls come in and out upstairs on our top floor. Still, tons of dropped calls, no matter where we stand (in / out / up / down). Downstairs, we have to leave our cell-phones near front or back doors / window-sills to get incoming calls. Wish we had a service-discount based on how poor our reception is. Now I'm searching for an affordable cell-phone antenna booster for my home.

No reception inside my home. Different phones - all from Verizon have made no difference. The reception on my street just stinks! Can you hear me now Verizon? After several indifferent responses from Verizon call agents, At&T here I come!

Horrible Internet wireless inside home. 1 bar at most and many dropped connections; speed is often less than dialup and even less than 10kbps. This is with top of the line PCMCIA card and an external antenna.

I get one bar sometimes and then no bars. Depends on time of day, could be related to the number of people using the tower. Using phone mostly in a basement office. As for the phone features, love it, comes with an FM radio and camera.
