I have moved here in August 05 but have not got any luck in getting any better reception. I mostly get no reception inside the house. Need some booster. Does anyone has some suggestion. I have used Motorola phone also but Verizon network seems bad here.

Have had T-Mobile since Oct 2004 but could not get any reception at home at Great Falls Chase and Algonkian parkway. Also it dropped very frequently on Wheele. Looking for a new service for these areas...

Just got one from work. Policy forces me to use Verizon. This is useless... If I hang off my deck... when the sun is in Aries on an odd-numbered day, I might get one bar. Still better than two cans and a string (just). Does anybody have any tips on raising carrier pigeons? Nextel has great reception here but the billing is out of control. They are a complete rip-off.

Poor coverage, frequent dropped calls even though it is a heavilly populated / traveled area. Frequent calls to Sprint have failed to produce any results as far as improving coverage. If you're in your house, FORGET IT!

I haven't had a single problem with this phone in this area. I want to move to GSM service so that I can use my phone when I travel internationally. But given the troubles people have with Cingular and T-Mobile in this area, it doesn't seem worth the trouble. Sigh.

Good coverage along route 7. Very spotty coverage in the Cascades area away from Route 7 -- locations on the river side of the hills are blocked from the Route 7 towers and only one tower on the Maryland side just east of Leesburg is providing any direct coverage along Algonkian -- and service from that tower has been fluctuating between average to non-existent over the past 5 months. Not reliable for emergencies if you walk / bike in the area.

Good reception all around. However a significant rise in mysteriously dropped calls (with 4+ bars!) since the end of November '04.
