Poor reception in some sections of Waterford HOA, great reception nearest Oakton High School.

Phone will ring sometimes, but it is never possible to talk.

Put in a SOHO repeater with mixed results. Outside RX measurment showed -104dbm which is too low for any reliable coverage (need at least -95). Verizon was just as bad but I don't know the signal strength. I switched to AT&T to get the iPhone and because AT&T's coverage map showed this area as their "best reception." What a joke!

Dropped calls and terrible voice quality inside the house. Signal is more consistent outside of the house although signal strength seems to vary wildly and unpredictably.

Terrible reception on the west end of Tysons Corner. A Sprint phone I have periodically has much better reception.

At various places in my house and around the Town of Vienna I have no or very poor reception. I do not have this problem any other place I roam.

Good signal at home and work, but many poor reception spots around the house, Tyson's, I66... Had Verzon for few years and enjoyed better reception, but hated dealing with them and was limitted to ohone options. Also, wanted a GSM Phone / Service for travel. Not many other options, though, since the rest (SPrint, T-Mobile, etc. aren't better.) Not sure what will I do next!

My house has decent reception. The problem is I66, inside the Beltway to past Falls Church-it constantly drops. It also drops on I395 near Glebe and on the Beltway near Little River. As these are where I drive often, I average 1 dropped call per call. Different phones do not help. I'm dropping Cingular.

Terrible reception - just moved back to DC area from San Francisco which has pretty decent Cingular coverage (except in areas blocked by the hills). Looks like Verizon is the best in northern VA / DC? A cool, slick phone is useless if the reception sucks.

Terrible reception in and around this area; maybe it's low altitude. also phone is lousy; going to try a magnet antenna truckers use.
