Born in SE and cant even visit my parents without having no service its like Nextel thinks nobody in SE needs service. Had to call 911 for my father who fell off a latter no service and I called them and they said I had a bad phone but I just purchased it last month and every Nextel phone I have ever owned never work in SE. I mean every new phone that Nextel brings out I have bought it but now I'am done no more faketel.
No stable signal inside my ground-floor apartment. Will show 1-2 bars but calls are one-sided, too staticky to hear and liable to drop for no reason at all. No reliable coverage between just after Wisconsin along K St.towards 34th; drops unexpectedly every few minutes although clear signal. I like their pricing plans and phones, and they worked great in Boston and Vermont, but Cingular seems to be pretty lousy in the Georgetown area. Switching this weekend now that my contract's up.

Reception anywhere in SE is minimal to poor. I have had every Nextel phone up to the I-860 and no phone receives great reception in that area. It is a good thing I don't need to go on that side of town often.

Over the past six months, I have had no reception in my apartment building or in the surrounding blocks, as far away as Foxhall Road. I used to be able to make Sprint calls from my balcony, but now I have to leave my neighborhood to get a signal.

I used to be an ATT Wireless customer until they merged with Cingular. For the last 2 years, I've had perfect reception in my apartment and around the DC-area. Over 3.5 weeks ago, reception in my apartment dropped along with spotty reception everywhere else, and service has not improved. Cingular has not been helpful only offering an explanation that they're converting old ATT towers -- a process that they don't expect to be completed until November! Plus, they've been less than generous with compensation for a phone that I can't use, not to mention the extra charges that I'm incurring on my home phone. Based on Cingular's refusal to deal with the problem in a customer-friendly way, I do not recommend them.
