T-mobile has the worst reception in this area. After wasting over a year on dropped calls or no reception at all I was told by the oh so helpful people at Cingular that I lived in a "Marginal service area" and that it would continue to be that way for at least the next few years!! I told them they could have Freakin told me that before I signed a 2 year contract! Beware and check what service area you are in before signing with any cell phone service! I have Cingular now and it has excellent reception in vienna.

Terrible reception. 90% of the time I cannot make calls or they are quickly dropped.

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.

Around August of 2005, I start use T-Mobile and no reception in my house. I have to get out of the house to use my cell phone, however, line drop frequently. I called and complained to T-Mobile and now I have 3 to 4 bar of signal in my house. So far I am happy with my cell reception.

can use the phone upstairs, although it drops calls after 15 minutes. Can't use id downstairs. Reception dandy if I go to the corner

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.
