I rarly loose service. Most of the tim I have about 3-5 bars.

Excellent service. Full 3G even when indoors.

Though I get decent 3-5 elsewhere, my nearest tower is to my south at the County Building. Seems that its also the Police tower as well, so maybe thats why I get 0-2 at home outside and 0-1 inside.

There are many times a day that I say I can't stand Cingular / AT&T coverage. I am on my second phone and I still get a lot of dropped calls and even though I am near Washington D.C., Cingular has many holes in coverage. I am going to dump Cingular as soon as I and dump them. You call this cell service?

I've never had any problems with service in my area. Whether it be in or outdoors service and reception is of high quality. Bars tend to fluctuate some traveling on 95 but never completely lost signal.

I just rented a house in Ashland community. I have 1 bar and cannot place calls from the house all the way to Rt. 95 (about 1-2 miles) and, like magic, have a full 5 bars. Wish I knew this before I signed the lease.

With Cingular, my reception is perfect at my home. Going down Hoadly Road, it craps out at Hoadly Rd.and Dale Blvd., but that is about the only dead spot around. When I visit my friends in Montclair, the reception is really bad to absolute zero.

Don't use Cingular in Port Potomac. Terrible reception!

i never get any service

Former AT&T customer sold to cingular. Reception is 2 to 5 bars most times, which is enough to make a call but it changes rapidly without me moving. As others have said 5 to 0 in a second, just long enough to drop the call. Also, I sometimes simply won't get incoming calls or messages and messages can be delayed for up to a few days. I was hoping a better phone might improve the situation but from reading the other reviews it seems unlikely.
